I’ve had something brewing in my mind for a couple years now and I’ve decided to go ahead with it. I want to create my own RPG world. And I’m going to document the process on here as I go, sharing my thoughts and the reasons why I made certain decisions. So, here a few of my initial thoughts.

1. It …

Most weeks it seems to feel like a 1. Every time I need a good roll the most, a 1 tends to come up. I think it’s a curse or something.

Over the years of playing in the Wyrmfang Chronicles, I’ve been through a LOT of characters. We’ve been playing nearly once a week for more than 20 years. Most of them have ended up dead, or worse….

So about once a week starting this Thursday, I’ll post a little blurb about each of the characters, …

None. I love every single character I’ve ever played and would play any of them again if a reason came up to do so. Some are more of a favorite than others, but I’d play any of them at all.

As a player, one of my favorite magic items was a Tome of Evil that Delban picked up in Lord Soth’s castle in Ravenloft. It led him down a dark, dark path, quite literally. …

As a PC, my all time favorite is the cleric spell Flamestrike. That spell is frickin awesome. Half of it is fire damage and half of it is divine damage which bypasses just about any damage reduction.

As a DM, I’m overly fond of Silence and Greater Dispel Magic. Nothing like making PC spellcasters …

Gnoll rangers. It’s a funny story. Well, OK, it wasn’t all that funny. You had to be there. Suffice it to say if the rest of your party is trapped behind an iron grate, don’t wander off to scout the area while they’re working to get through to your side. Just don’t do it. Don’t. Even if you’re a …
