UNBRIDLED TRUTH

I've skirted around talking about COVID-19 a few times, because there isn't much that I can say about it which hasn't been said better elsewhere, and in the grand scheme of things, I've been pretty fortunate about how little it's impacted me.  I've still got my regular...

This was a depressing week, and it was a week where I dealt with some depression, and between the two, only four workouts were had.

Apologies for the delays in progress with this adventure, as current events have been a spanner in the works for a few things.  Anyway, last time, I filled out the list of core clues for each of the nodes.  For clarity's sake, let me be clear that those aren't th...

Having had a few days to ruminate on this adventure subconsciously while trying to apply my paltry skills to attracting people to a new group amidst the current COVID-19 furor, I think the time has come to revisit the Cursed Monastery.  As a reminder, here's wher...

In preparation of (hopefully) starting an open table game in the near future, I've been looking at different options for old school rules.  Well, I say that, but as people who've played old school D&D surely understand, I actually mean I've been looking for a primary se...

Part 1

After quite some internal deliberation, I've come down in favor of building this adventure as a nodal mystery.  A dungeon crawl through a foundation built out of the bones of some ancient behemoth still sounds great and may be something I revisit at a later time,...
