The 5eGrognard
Now that I've branched out and provided some D&D 5e + M:TG crunch, I'd like to revisit my Magic background. WARNING! TV Tropes link ahead! History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the Ring passed out of all knowledge. The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving …

My friend, and the person who introduced me to D&D recently unearthed this great bit of lore from 1982. Brian had gotten these boxed sets as gifts, as his sister looks on proudly. These would be the first D&D books that I ever saw, and sparked oh so many hours of fun and devotion. Thanks …

I'm back. It's always difficult to get back to writing after having taken a break. It's even harder when you haven't been playing much D&D. We have been playing a lot more Magic: The Gathering recently. In some ways it has become a bit of an obsession with me at times. Look to see some …
As some of my long time followers may know, I work for UPS. Because of that, my already anemic posting schedule nearly shuts down this time of year. I always hope to get something up in November/December, but it's not often that it happens. If I don't get something up before then, everyone have a …
Just (barely) in time for your Halloween games! A collection of monsters for your players to fight, spells for their opponents to hurl at them (or for your players to find in forbidden tomes), and magic items to reward them with! All suitable for Halloween or Ravenloft themed adventures. My newest entry to the DM's …
The Cobweb Golem is a magically created automaton given the semblance of life by a particularly powerful spellcaster. The Cobweb Golem appears to be spun from spiderwebs. Twigs, brambles, and other flotsam cling to its sticky surface, and small spiders can be seen scurrying about on the creature. Cobweb Golems are usually encountered in long-abandoned …
I've been given the opportunity to interview Frank Mentzer and the design team for his upcoming Worlds of Empyrea Kickstarter. So I'm looking for some help to come up with some questions! What do you want to ask of Frank and the design team?
