Opportunity Actions: A Thief is Vindicated
Lately, I’ve been noticing a trend in D&D/Role-Playing related materials, be they blogs, podcasts, and similar things. That trend is theft. Please don’t mistake me here. I’m not accusing anyone of plagiarism. It’s not that kind of theft. I mean theft in the sense that any story idea is available, and there’s no reason not [...]
My Game is in Trouble – Help Me Out!
A reader responded to a post I made yesterday with a “Help My Game” plea. I deemed this topic and the example posed good enough for its own post. Without further ado, here is Kaliam’s original comment, followed by my reply: I need help please! I’m running a campaign of a game I made with [...]
Opportunity Actions: Races of Athas – Shifters and Wilden
Ok. I hope I’ve been making a decent impact with these posts. My theme, such that it is for this post, is geographical in nature. These two races are inextricably connected to the lands where they originate, and I thought that important to their identities as I adapt them to Dark Sun. The Challenges Shifters [...]
Opportunity Actions: Races of Athas – Gnomes and Shardminds
This post is purely about the challenge. My previous posts have had their own individual challenges, and in fact it’s easy to say this entire exercise has its foundation in overcoming obstacles.

Opportunity Actions: Races of Athas – Deva and Drow
Moving on after my last post about the Shadar-Kai and Warforged, I’ll be tackling the Drow and Deva this time. Like last time, I’m writing up two races for similar reasons. First, the Drow, like the Shadar-Kai, are not in the setting, but fit smoothly with some hacking around. Second, the Deva, like the Warforged, [...]
Opportunity Actions: Races of Athas – Shadar-Kai and Warforged
Looking through some Dark Sun materials this week, I was surprised to hear people say, “So, which races will you allow?” I pitched this idea over at Wizards, and they told me that someone was already working on it. Everyone’s free to wait until that article publishes, or read it here, sooner. WOTC’s loss is everyone’s [...]
