Kill the cleric!
Alternately titled: “Turning player loss into dramatic character death” but that sounds way less catchy. The setup: I have a player for whom we coined the term “D&Dmo.” When he was present at the table, and I mean present and not just sitting there, he was fantastic. Bright, beautiful, an engaging roleplayer, a great tactician, a [...]
The Recycle Bin – Angel Beats and Speaking Well As The Dead
So it’s been a while. I would like to say I’ve been deep in a secluded underground vault, surrounded by nothing but my beloved Pez dispensers, exposing myself to as much media as I could to transmutate into Recycle Bin posts for you all. But there was this issue with my brother, a suit of [...]

Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale – Almost a Campaign Guide
I run my D&D campaign in my own homebrew world. Even so, I like to steal ideas from other places and incorporate them into my world. That includes other published campaign settings. In fact, I am a setting and map junkie. As such, I often buy setting supplements or products aimed at specific settings if [...]
