I developed this subclass for as player in my Catamaran game who wanted to play a more sciencey rogue. He was the island alchemist and astronomer and none of the existing subclasses at the time really fit what he wanted to do. He had a flintlock pistol, which was super rare in the setting, so
Last week I posted about the idea I had been using in my campaigns of evolving magic weapons. This week I wanted to show some more example of that design space in use The Avalanche Weapon (Various), legendary (requires attunement to a dwarf) This weapon was forged by a conclave of dwarven wizards known as
One of the first role-playing games I learned how to play was the Middle Earth Role-Playing Game, or MERP, based on the Rolemaster rules by Iron Crown Enterprises. My middle school friends and I, not really getting the Tolkien aesthetic, decided that raiding the Barrow Downs near Bree was the best way to get loot
For my Catamaran campaign I developed several new races. Some were the sorts of things you expect for a sea campaign; sea elves, sea dwarves, otter people, whale people. Sea races. I’ll probably get to posting those eventually, but I figured I would start with some of the more conceptually weird races from that campaign.

These spells are meant for clerics of the reborn flame and hopefully reinforce the theme of the Reborn Flame being a god of hearth, healing, and fire.

As I mentioned last post, when the PCs in my Church Campaign reawakened the power of the the god of the hearth known as the Reborn Flame they gained access to several subclasses that drew on the power of the Reborn Flame. These are those subclasses, with more to come possibly later. These have not
In one of my 5E games, what I call my CHurch Campaign because it is made up of people I met attending the local Unitarian Universalist Church, there were no active gods at the beginning of the campaign and thus no clerics. No one wanted to play a cleric so I stole an idea I
Welcome to the first post of my new website and blog! My old blog was getting long in the tooth and wasn’t doing everything I wanted it to. Working in games, both video and role playing, people often want to see samples of my work. I figured with over two decades of professional game work
