My campaigns include everything from serious horror to tongue-in-cheek humor. Rarely do I include something so ridiculous that it stretches the player's ability to suspend disbelief (though I suppose ...

Drelnza is the product of Iggwilv and Lerrek the lich, not Dahvlier. Lerrek is a high-level priest of Erythnul residing in Delvenbrass, I think (or some such other location in the Vesve). I believe ...

This is an unexpected list. I like it. Smile

What about including the wolves from the Rose Estes novels about Mika, the Wolf Barbarian?

The ones I recall off the top of my head are:

Your treatment of Drelnza sparked a memory (don't recall the source) that she may be the daughter of Iggwilv and Dahlvier, a lich in the northwestern Vesve. This inspired me to see a possible plot wh ...

Am I the only one that doesn't love The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun? I was just never of a fan of it as a player or DM. It has atmosphere, but I think it could have been much better. I actually l ...

You might look at the duration given in 3.x summoning spells for guidance. Unfortunately, I find them to be uselessly short for low-level casters.

Basically, monster/animal summoning spells have a ...

I tried that on one of my old threads, but there was no 'X' available to click on. Confused

I didn't mean to sound critical, just curious.

By the way, what edition of the rules are you using?

Okay, the party just got hit by a fireball in the dwarven mine. Some of the PCs made their Save and some did not, but all had some of their equipment destroyed by the explosion. I remember rules to ...

Generally speaking, humanoids have shorter natural lifespans than humans, but mature more quickly. For example, goblins may become full adults within 10 years, but die of old age between 30 and 40 ye ...

There are a few adventures from Dungeon Magazine that are intended to be placed in a jungle, though I cannot remember their names off hand.

Jason Zavoda, sir, you are a scholar! 🤔

* "Moon Doggy" 😁😋

Some editions of the game (as early as AD&D and beyond) simplified many of these by putting them under single headings. For example, all giants, trolls, ogre ...

I second Tarelton's suggestions.

Also, locals from the village up or downstream or foreigners, etc. may be substituted for Polocks and blondes in those jokes.

Lol, Barnabus! 😁
