In the world of Aether Skies, the surface is more myth than memory—a cursed, overgrown graveyard full of ruined cities, forgotten gods, and things that don’t stay dead. While the floating cities drift safely above the clouds, the world below festers in darkness, twisted by...... read more.
Tales of the Lunar Lands – Fri, 28 March, 10:37 PM
I've long maintained that most campaigns overlook the value of mundane travel complications for random encounters. Not every danger the PCs face has to come from magic and monsters - throwing in things like natural hazards and road conditions can help the world seem more realistic, and keeps the fan... read more.
The Kind GM – Fri, 28 March, 05:47 PM
It would be a waste to not use the decks I already have. Let’s check them out. I have a few of the initial decks that were released by WotC when Commander became a format. I got one deck from Commander 2011 so I could play in the launch event since I had no idea […]... read more.

There are many different ways of kicking off a sandbox campaign, and the way you do it influences the path(s) the party will take. The one I favor is what I call the Starter One-Shot. In short, its goal is to get the players engaged in gameplay now, and concern the players with what they will be doi... read more.

Missives From Mooncastle – Fri, 28 March, 03:59 PM
Since my very first days of playing AD&D, I’ve loved magic item curses. Though to be fair, I suspect some of that love might stem from me having been mostly a forever GM for those many years, so that I spend more time on the fun GM side of curses than the annoying player side.I’ve made use of item c... read more.

MappingMapping is one of those things that I see a lot of folks tend to ignore or not bother with, especially when it comes to younger or more recent hobbyists coming into the space. I think mapping is fun and, besides the joy of doing it, I find that I pay attention much better when I have to draw ... read more.

Illo by Mikołaj Ratajczak The Scavengers’ Deep is a reminder of the amount of work that went into underground structures during the great war. Generally, the elves only built underground when hiding their breeding and research facilities, whereas the forces of the kingdoms, assisted by the dwarves,... read more.
The Alexandrian – Fri, 28 March, 01:21 PM
Out of Body, Out of Mind fails to think things through to their logical conclusions. A poorly conceived premise, killer traps, and an irrational set-up seriously undermine this module’s positive qualities. Review Originally Appeared May 21st, 2001 PLOT Warning: This review will contain spoilers fo... read more.

This is the fifth article looking at the lineages in the Tales of the Valiant game, not as fantasy stereotypes but as if they’re alien species similar to what you’d find in science fiction. The point of this is straightforward: your character’s lineage should be a cornerstone of deep roleplaying, n... read more.

In November, I paused my Mutants in the Now game because my campaign’s content clashed with the rising political climate, and I was not in a place where I thought I could run the game and maintain my self-care. Time has passed, and having done some work on myself to better protect and manage myself ... read more.

In 2025 I’m reviewing zungeon zines. They’re stream of consciousness and unedited critiques, just like Bathtub Reviews, but they’ll be a little briefer. The goal here is a little different: I want to spotlight what a craft-based, just-do-it approach to module writing can do. Cacogenic Vats is an 11... read more.

The Northlands Saga Complete is a compilation of ten adventures set in stereotypical cold north. Probably enough for several years of gaming. Tenfootpole has reviewed first four adventures back in the day (NS1, NS2, NS3, NS4). Swords & Wizardry versions were collated in 2015 and published in the bi... read more.

I’ve enjoyed hearing how people have made use of Crisis on Christmas Prime in the last few weeks. I hope that by providing a brief sample adventure it might be more approachable. I rolled “Rag-tag adventurers are buying up candy!” on the crisis table, so that was the starting point. 3 Great Holiday ... read more.

Barrett's RaidersThis week saw the characters finally cross the Atlantic (with a brief stop at Lajes in the Azores for refueling), arriving at "Naval Station Norfolk" on 3 December 2000. I used scare quotes, because their destination was located not at Norfolk proper – which took a 1 MT nuke in Nove... read more.
