It might seem pretty natural for whimsy and TTRPGs to go hand in hand. Alot of us use our time in these games to escape the real world and explore a fantastical setting with a group of like minded adventurers. However not every setting, system or campaign is suited to the whimsical. At least not …

Monster of the Month – Mimics
Okay so this one is going to be an interesting one for a Monster of the Month post for a couple of reasons. A big one being that there are only 2 cannon D&D mimics in the current RAW. In reality that’s all you need… sort of. We will get to that later. But I …
Monster of the Month – Trolls
So I grew up with movies like ‘Troll in Central Park’ (your first hint for the troll) but the 5e version of Trolls is decidedly not that kind of troll. These trolls are mean and don’t mind attempting a TPK if disturbed. They are often feared by players and are strategically placed by DMs for …
Playtest Diary: GeneFunk 2090
Okay so before we get into it this playtest diary is just from my perspective and the notes I took cause it was a couple of weeks before I was able to sit down and read this. Apologize to the other players out there if I get something wrong! In the future I’ll probably do …

Spell vs Counterspell
The wild west of magic is full of dueling casters slinging their spells all over the place. These duels can quickly become rough going as magic is flung around all willy nilly. How do you survive in a world like this? Well today we will be talking about not just fighting with spells but dueling …
Magical Malaise
Part 1 of the “Medicine, Malaise, Herbs & Healing” Series Yup you saw that right folks this post was going to be so long that I instead had to break it out into a series. Something which those who have been reading this blog for awhile know must have been getting to beyond ridiculous lengths …
Monster of the Month – Kobolds
Welcome to another Monster of the Month post, I apologize for falling off the map in April but work and life just went crazy for awhile (it still kind of is but back to the internet word mines). But I’m glad to be at it with some of my favorite lizard dragon monsters those good …
