It's Barret being creative from time to time
Driders…. Always driders. I love and hate those bastards. Yeah, I know, they’re not an animal or insect or technically an arachnid, but close enough for me. Though, when we ran through City of the Spider Queen we did run into a massive spider or two that made for some fun combats. Still, though… driders… … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 17 – Favorite Animal/Insect/Arachnid
Oh, another tough one. It’s a toss-up between beholders and illithid. They are both a lot of fun from a game stand point. And by fun I mean “AH! AH! AH! AH! RUN! RUN! RUN! RUN!”. Seriously though, one of the most fun adventures we have run was the Illithiad modules. Although, the party did … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 16 – Favorite Ooze/Aberrant Creature
Bodaks. When one of my characters died by a bodak’s gaze and then turned into a PC bodak for a time, it was a lot of fun. Short lived, but fun. Unfortunately, as an undead, there was no way for the party to heal my wounds and eventually the damage accrued to the point of … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 15 – Favorite Undead
As a player, I think my favorite NPCs would be a tossup between Lord Soth from Ravenloft and all the various beings who believed they were Keraptis in White Plume Mountain. As a DM, my two favorite NPCs were Gharaleth Axom from The Speaker in Dreams and Halaster the Mad from Expedition to Undermountain. Yeah, … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 14 – Favorite NPC
What’s the best way to put this? I HATE TRAPS AND PUZZLES! There, I said it and I won’t take it back. There is not one single, solitary trap or puzzle I’ve enjoyed or liked as a player. None, whatsoever. Whenever I encounter a trap or puzzle as a PC, I let the other PCs … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 13 – Favorite Trap/Puzzle
My favorite dungeon types are old school dungeon crawls. Just a place underground with a bunch of levels and a bunch of halls and rooms on each level. First adventure I played was The Keep on the Borderlands. That style has always been my favorite. Castles, citadels, towers, cities, sewers, forests and whatever else take … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 12 – Favorite Dungeon Type/Location
As a DM, the one I’ve enjoyed the most was running Return to Undermountain and Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk back to back as one story arc. It was a blast and I had a lot of fun as the DM in that arc. My second favorite DM track was running the Speaker in … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 11 – Favorite Adventure You Ran
There have been so many, it’s really hard to pick. Here are a few highlights, both as player and as DM: The endless jokes about being a one-armed paladin, including jokes that my mount should be a three-legged horse The time I was DM and a barmaid lured the fighter Jhon Tsaran to the barn … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 10 – Craziest in-game experience
This is a question that is kind of vague. If it’s talking about pre-defined characters such as Drizzt or Bigby or Tanis Half-Elven or whatever, I don’t really consider them PCs. Even when I was involved in groups running the original Dragonlance modules, I didn’t really consider them PCs. They were NPCs that we’d temporarily … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 9 – Favorite PC you’d like to play
It’s a tossup between three of them. First, is Endeleban Losteast (Delban). He’s a wizard and former Aes Saidarr of Cormyr. He was the second character I played with the Wyrmfang Chronicles as we adventured through the dream realm of Ravenloft. It was there he made a mortal enemy of the death knight Soth and … Read moreThe D&D 30 Day Challenge – Day 8 – Favorite PC Of Your Own
