Having been hired by the shining hero, Captain Von Der Fule of Candlekeep to investigate the missing wizard brothers, Mordecai and Lucius Malvern, the party finds itself on a slight rise overlooking Malvern Manor.  But something is amiss!  Ain’t it always? Three sides of the manor are covered in...

Two days after the slaad attack and assassination attempt, the caravan is startled by the approach of a half orc paladin astride a mighty charger.  Mordred, his name, a paladin in service to the Church of Torm, his profession.  He immediately approaches Aramis, the party’s cleric and fellow servant of...

Way behind on these write-ups.  Time is tight, and given the choice between actual gaming and talking about gaming on the internet, I’ll take the former over the latter any day.  What do you think I am, some sort of RPG.net degenerate? When last we left our plucky heroes,...

Long time internet based D&D dungeon designers know all about Dyson Logos and his brilliant series of dungeon geomorphs.  They also know about Dave Millar’s amazing contribution to our little hobby, Dave’s Mapper, which builds a random dungeon using geomorphs created in Dyson’s style.  The Mapper has geomorphs created by...

It’s getting to be that time of year again.  Time for the One Page Dungeon Contest. My entry this year was designed for ease of use at the table.  Most of the relevant backstory didn’t make the final cut.  Maybe it wasn’t so relevant after all.  For those who...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the dungeon… When I run this dungeon, the entrance looks like this*.  There is a narrow path up to the left side of the mouth shaped cavern that leads down to the dungeon proper. Even after carving up that amazing...

At long last, the very core of the MegaDungeon – a prison for a mad lich.  The lich was once a fire wizard who burned his way into this inner sanctum in pursuit of  a safe place to hide his phylactery.  He found it, but the Dungeongod tricked the...
