Tim asks – I currently play a wizard in my D&D 5e campaign. Folks listen to our game so the advice I am looking for is – what are some fun things to make your wizard feel truly magical. He is incredibly talented but with a good heart so figuring out better and flashier ways …
With our perfect disguises on we are ready to head into The White Spire with an all expenses paid trip to Nareev. Things are certainly getting tense, what with out goal just a few short feet away. Danger is breathing down our necks. Trust comes slowly since anyone could be a Nareevian agent. But with …
Claudio asks – My players and I are in the middle of a long campaign. There are five players in the group and the rest of the campaign is probably going to deal with three of them primarily, since the other two have more or less resolved their character’s storylines. The characters themselves don’t really …
Glaine, the Jewel of the East, sure is nice for being a town taken over by goo-folks. While people seem to be generally bummed about the whole thing, the magical floating city almost makes the sky more beautiful. Street meat still tastes as good. The alleys still smelly.

After the gang catches their breath from the previous night’s battle it is time to face the music. Not the beautiful music Val plays, no, the music of the reality that is their situation.

The wonderful denizens of Tidtowne offered their aid to our desperate heroes who sorely needed a helping hand. Now victory over the forces of Nareev seems somewhat possible as opposed to a 100% suicide mission. The floating magical city is still a mystery, but one victory at a time. The fighting force of Tidtowne should …
Max asks – I’m running a short adventure for some friends, some of whom know each other well and some who haven’t met each other. All of them are experienced role players. How do I minimize awkwardness and maximize fun? Building rapport among gamers that haven’t yet gamed together is an important part of any …
Facing off against dragons, an army of of shapeshifting cross-planar aliens or an entire colony of Slaad’s pale in comparison to what Steve must face today. Let’s hope that he inherited more of Thom’s resolve than we previously thought, because he will surely need it. How do you prepare yourself for when your one true …
Beth asks – I love being a GM and I want to challenge myself. I’d like to use the D&D 5th edition rules but create my own world to run a campaign in. What advice could you offer on how to build it? Building a world from whole cloth can an incredibly fun and deeply …
