Dungeon Cookbook: Fighter’s Special Chili

When you've been adventuring for as long as I have, you get pretty good at what you do. I'm handy with a sword, I can start a fire near anywhere rain or shine, and I can butcher almost any creature if it has a corporeal body. Most importantly I know how to improvise, a skill … Continue reading Dungeon Cookbook: Fighter’s Special Chili →

Dungeon Cookbook: Cockatrice Egg Omelette

Oh, the cockatrice. A hybrid between a snake and a chicken with the temperament of an angry goose. Domestic specimens rarely get larger than a turkey, but some wild cockatrice can grow up to 5 feet tall. Like geese, they have beaks with teeth - teeth that can cut through steel - and a preternatural … Continue reading Dungeon Cookbook: Cockatrice Egg Omelette →

Blog Update: Death Of A PC & Setting Up Shop

Howdy readers! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted, but for good reason: I’m currently working with a group of trans and gender non-conforming folks in my area to open up a cafe and community space!

Lamentations of the Warlord: A Look At Martial Support Classes

My first ever D&D character was a sexagenarian human warlord for 4e who helped save his home town from a war band of goblins. He led the defenders and rallied a charge against the goblin chief's entourage, barely surviving the attack. While the town survived, his home was destroyed, and so he set off on … Continue reading Lamentations of the Warlord: A Look At Martial Support Classes →

Keep Dungeons Weird!

You know that Dungeons & Dragons is weird, right? Think about it: You've got massive underground complexes designed to funnel adventurers through fights with monsters that exist because "a wizard did it" to find some gold and gain experience. The denizens of the dungeon ecosystem are strange and alien to the surface world, and they … Continue reading Keep Dungeons Weird! →

Dungeon Cookbook: Am-Bush Salad with Quick-Pickled Beets

Sometimes you find yourself underground for days at a time, maybe even weeks (or months if you get lost), eating nothing but your stale rations and whatever rancid carrion you can pick off of monsters. So when I find myself breaching the surface after that kind of wretched experience, the first thing I'm going to … Continue reading Dungeon Cookbook: Am-Bush Salad with Quick-Pickled Beets →

Joining The Megadungeon Jam!

As a budding freelancer in the TTRPG community, I often find myself wondering how I can get my name out there. Word of mouth is wonderful, and there are a few folks who shout me out when they can (thank you so much!!), but having a portfolio is just as important. I know where my … Continue reading Joining The Megadungeon Jam! →

On Ending Campaigns, And An Update

I've played in more than a few campaigns, but I've never had the chance to end one in a way that was truly satisfying. Some games just fizzle out, others end abruptly (occasionally with a bang), and some get cancelled after real world issues take the forefront. Back in January, a 5e game I was … Continue reading On Ending Campaigns, And An Update →

You Found Dire Dysentery! Exploration with Purpose in TTRPGs

I love exploration in games. Whether I'm diving into a long-forgotten dungeon, tracking the wilderness with a trusty steed and a blank map, or getting lost in a big city, exploration is my favorite game activity. This stems from a childhood spent camping in the Adirondacks and watching entirely too many Travel Channel programs like … Continue reading You Found Dire Dysentery!
