It's Barret being creative from time to time
I’ve mentioned before that my favorite undead was the bodak. Read my various posts about Thelisn to see why. So I’m going to take this time to talk about my least favorite undead, the lich. Like dragons, liches are an overused trope in Dungeons & Dragons. They seem to be the go-to creature type any … Read moreD&December 2017 – W2D6 – Spooky/Undead – The Lich
Humanoids suck. They are the most boring group in any campaign. Be it elf, halfling, human, orc, whatever. Boring, boring, boring. The only thing worthwhile was when humans got an extra 1st level feat. That’s about it. BarretHusband, father, gamer, developer, manager, writer, creative, blogger, model railroader, Buckeyes fan
Celestials are a strange piece of D&D/Pathfinder. They are a necessary group, serving as the compass opposite to devils and demons. Sometimes they serve to provide context or boxed text to the characters. And lesser celestials can be summoned for a few rounds to fight in combat for your cleric. Aside from that, however, they … Read moreD&December 2017 – W2D4 – Celestial/Demonic – Fallen Angels
I may have mentioned once or twice that I hate fey. They’re nothing more than an annoyance. As for abyssal creatures, my favorite is probably the glabrezu demon. There’s just something about a half demon, half crab that can cast spells that is oddly amusing and appealing at the same time. Another part of it … Read moreD&December 2017 – W2D3 – Abyssal/Fey
I discussed previously my favorite draconic creatures so I won’t repeat that information here. Instead, I’ll take this time to discuss something I don’t like about dragons. There are just way too many types of dragons. CETEC ASTRONOMY In the beginning… the “dragons” part of dungeons and dragons referred to two basic types. There were … Read moreD&December 2017 – W2D2 – Too Many Dragons
I’m not sure what creature I would call my “favorite”. We’ve encountered all sorts of creatures over our more than 20 year span of just the Wyrmfang Chronicles alone, let alone any other gaming experience. I guess that there are two creatures that stand out a little bit. Roper These things are vicious, deadly and … Read moredndecember-w2d1
My current character is named Qen. Since I wrote about him recently, I’ll just refer you to that page. What I’ll write today instead of that summary is this. My favorite RPG PC games. Why computer? Am I including console games? Nope. And I’ll tell you why. Because you can’t play a good RPG, a … Read moreD&December 2017-W1D7-Your Player Character? Nope, Fave RPG PC Games
As with great successes, I’ve had my share of moments of despair while gaming. One of the worst for me was the two deaths of my character Thelisn. I have mentioned previously how Thelisn died, both times. At the time that he fell in a field to the bodak, I had really grown to like … Read moreD&December 2017 – W1D6 – A Moment of Despair
Hmm, this is a difficult one. I’ve been a part of many moments of triumph over the years. Most, sadly, I have forgotten, but one does stand out. We were running the Shackled City Adventure Path. As with many modules, we re-located this one into the Forgotten Realms setting. I don’t remember exactly where now. … Read moreD&December 2017 – W1D5 – A Moment of Triumph
Previously, I mentioned that one of my favorite NPCs was Lord Soth. Sticking to strictly bad guy NPCs, he’s definitely at the top of the list. Part of this is, of course, due to his role in the Dragonlance novels. I grew up reading those books. Dragons of Autumn Twilight was the first fantasy novel … Read moreD&December 2017 – W1D4 – Favorite Villain
