In our Under the Dome campaign—helmed by the ever-diabolical Dave—I play a sorcerer who’s just a little obsessed with fire and lightning. Velrian Blitzstorn (yes, that’s the name—because subtlety is for wizards) has been blazing through spell slots and leaving scorch marks in his wake...... read more.

Inspired by the same post for Arden Vul, here is what we run DF Felltower with. Host: Forge Pricing is quite reasonable - for a year, they charge less than I can make net in a couple hours of work, and hosting would take more than those hours. Win/win.

Back to thinking about dice, again. Specifically, the meaning we attach to certain results. In a previous newsletter—one of my first, actually—I was fascinated by an ability in F.I.S.T. that had a one in six chance to succeed but the player got to call out the number.
