Dungeon Rooms and Corridors are often rife with Monsters and horrible Beasts, but what other smaller creatures might be flourishing in those depths? Here’s a d100 Table with some Dungeon Fauna to hopefully breathe a little detail into the various vermin and other (mostly harmless!) Denizens that dw... read more.

One of the most vexing aspects of middle age is looking back on the past with hindsight and thinking, "If only I knew then what I know now." That's precisely the thought that entered my head when I saw this advertisement from the Armory in issue #69 (January 1983). Marvel at how inexpensive all thes... read more.

This holiday season, I’m going to review a different module, game or supplement every day. I haven’t sought any of them out, they’ve been sent to me, so it’s all surprises, all the way. I haven’t planned or allocated time for this, so while I’m endeavouring to bring the same attention to these revie... read more.

Issue #69 of Dragon (January 1983) is another one about whose articles I have very strong memories. The strength of my memories is bolstered, no doubt, by the issue's remarkable cover by Clyde Caldwell. Caldwell's an artist about whom my feelings are generally mixed, but I've nevertheless got a fond... read more.

Yesterday was session 201. More notes! Mocking their best option. At one point, Thor moved up into the guards vs. cultists fray, and a cultist stepped up from 2 hexes away to adjacent to Thor. Thor's player said, "Are you seriously stepping close to the human Quisinart?" and I said, "Yes." I mean,... read more.
