Kickstarters! Shadow of the Demon Lord! Dwarven Forge! 5E Adventures!

A few interesting RPG-related kickstarters are coming towards their closing stages at present… Shadow of the Demon Lord is a new RPG by Robert J Schwalb, which emphasizes play in a land which is menaced by a powerful Demon Lord. Mechanically, it’s going to be relatively light, but with options for more detailed play. There is a strong horror component to this game, and it’s … Continue reading Kickstarters!

5E Adventure Review – DG8: Red Blades Diplomacy

Dan Hass has taken a significant leap forward in the formatting of this adventure, for it is now in two columns! It may seem a minor detail, but – to my mind – it makes the adventure much easier to read and use. (In fact, all of Dan’s adventures have been reformatted, which explains why they were unavailable for a short time. Thank you very … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review – DG8: Red Blades Diplomacy

The Tomb of Diderius. The Serpent Hills. The adventurers had rested following their discovery of the secret entrance leading to the yuan-ti tunnels, and they were now ready to proceed. As the secret door opened, it revealed six lizardfolk guarding the door, who sprang to attack the adventurers. They were not the greatest threat, and soon dispatched. One was taken captive, and left behind, tied … Continue reading The Rise of Tiamat, session 5

5E Adventure Review: Bandit’s Nest

Bandit’s Nest is a short adventure by Dan Coleman for 1st level characters, the first adventure of his Dungeons on Demand Kickstarter. The PDF is 15 pages long, with one page used for the cover and the last page used for a very brief legal notice, apparently requested by Wizards of the Coast – a much nicer move than just shutting the Kickstarter down with a … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: Bandit’s Nest

As the session began, the adventurers came in sight of Varram’s objective: an ancient tomb carved into the wall of a cliff. Ruined buildings, remnants of a long-forgotten settlement, lay scattered about the plain before the cliff. … Continue reading The Rise of Tiamat, session 4

5E Adventure Review: The Storm Keep

The first adventure from WanderLOST Adventures, The Storm Keep, presents a keep that is currently being plagued by a number of elemental manifestations. The wizard who lived there is lost, and his apprentices are trapped inside. It’s a nice little adventure, which shouldn’t take much more than a session to play through. There are eight areas to explore, all of which get a good amount … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: The Storm Keep
