We recently did a reroll in my campaign and moved over to a new country that my players are mostly unfamiliar with. That means a lot of the stuff that I’ve been working on in the background has suddenly become available and I’m now scrambling to finalize a lot of it. In the process, I’ve…
Yeah, yeah, more D&D stuff, I know. It’s just what I’ve been working on lately, and this particular one is a very recent change. Similar to my last post, I’ve grouped together all the Wizard spells across a handful of 2e sourcebooks into a single list sorted by level and school. So here’s a handy link…
I’ve been spending a lot of time getting the magic in my system working in a manner that makes your choices of spells matter and influence your future actions. I did have a little rant about this quite a while ago, and I think I’ve finalized the last of the major changes I wanted to…
Ah, the Arcanite. This is the badass of the bunch. You want to play a warrior that flings around blasts of raw arcane energy?

Sometimes you have to toss your plans out the window and find a logical route to…
This is by far the most popular class among my players in the three different times we’ve had fresh characters rolled up with the dual classes available. It’s not really difficult to understand why. Templars have the most hp and best thac0 of the bunch, they’re an excellent bruiser class, and they get a fair…
In writing up this post, it also gave me time to go back and review pieces of the class that I haven’t in about a year now. It gave me some perspective on how the class plays, and how it’s balanced against other classes in the game, so I was able to make changes to…
Dungeons and Dragons! Or at least, that’s how I’ll always recall the good old days. Holy crap that MP3 is almost old enough to buy cigarettes and I’ve been playing this game for far too long. Other things to establish, I’m firmly in the camp of Old School Roleplaying when it comes to the editions. Everything…
