Felltower: Making Hirelings

Dungeon Fantastic – Wed, 13 November, 02:44 AM

My players decided to hire a lot of hirelings for their next delve - a handful of 125-pointers, and a few guards and laborers.

Ynas Midgard's RPG Blog – Tue, 12 November, 03:41 PM

On and off I've been working on Láncvért, a supplement for Kazamaták és Kompániák that integrates most subsystems found in Chainmail into the KéK framework in a much less confusing way than the original (at least that's my hope).One of the many interesting bits in Chainmail is the man-to-man combat ... read more.

B/X BLACKRAZOR – Tue, 12 November, 12:13 PM

In my last post, I discussed my discovery of the old podcast "Chasing the Dragon" (a somewhat amusing title, considering I associate it with heroin smoking) in which a young-ish DM discusses his foray into learning 1st edition AD&D...a project I think is great. In his first episode, he asked a coupl... read more.
