Civic Relics

Most magic items are useful for adventurers. After all, that's who is out and about treasure hunting for these things. Some are minor things that the nobility might want for vanity or ease. But what about civic magic items? What about the projects that court wizards poured lifetimes into for the good of the people, … Continue reading Civic Relics →

Folk Magic

You, as a great wizard and an adventurer or explorer, know a great many spells. But your talents are bent towards your own ends, as are the studies in the great academies, and the roiling forces dreamt up by demons, gods, and dragons. There are some magics you may not know. Ones that arose from … Continue reading Folk Magic →

Dungeon Master’s Library 013: Dwarfhold Champion

Not every creature card needs to become a foe. This card inspired an encounter, or more accurately: an add on to an existing encounter to spice it up. Click here to browse the entire Dungeon Master's Library 013-dwarfhold-championDownload

Dungeon Master’s Library 012: Neo-Kamigawa Dragons

The first Cycle Week! I pulled five random cycles of five cards and made a poll on my tumblr. Because the cycles were random, the competition was a bit unbalanced. Seems unlikely the nap lands were going to win, but the slivers were a contender. These dragons, in lore, are protectors. I tried to made … Continue reading Dungeon Master’s Library 012: Neo-Kamigawa Dragons →

Dungeon Master’s Library 011: Vulshok Battlegear

Dungeon Master’s Library 008: Strangle

With this entry I'm pushing something I think should already be in the game! Techniques. Where, instead of getting a magic item, you learn an innate skill that functions much like a class ability. Click here to browse the entire Dungeon Master's Library Get the PDF VersionDownload

Dungeon Master’s Library 007: Waiting in the Weeds

Entry 007 is a bit of a silly one, from back in 6th edition. Absolutely love this art, and everything about this card. Frankly, I have no idea what to do with this spell in actual play, but I felt it absolutely had to capture the sillyness of an army of cats with little loyalty. … Continue reading Dungeon Master’s Library 007: Waiting in the Weeds →
