The D&D Companion set, released in 1984, was the first set of D&D rules that dealt with a matter mentioned in both the AD&D and original rules and never developed that much: the player characters as leaders of realms. Test of the Warlords was the first adventure released to supplement those rules, and it moves the setting northwards to the newly claimed realm of Norwold, … Continue reading D&D Adventure Review – CM1 Test of the Warlords

One of the more popular RPG accessory over the past few years has been the Flip-Mat, a double-sided thin cardboard mat that is pre-printed with a one-inch grid and an aesthetically pleasing (with luck!) background. They are designed so that you can use dry or wet erase markers on them, which then can be erased. With the rise in prominence of miniatures play since the … Continue reading 5E Accessory Review: D&D Adventure Grid
The Carver’s Cave is a short adventure by R.M. Jansen-Parkes for characters of levels 3 or 4, although it provides notes to scale it to second or even third tier parties (levels 11-16). The adventure takes a simple, unsettling concept and explores it well. It’d also really like an obliging party of characters who could get captured when you wanted them to, but the adventure … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: The Carver’s Cave
Jungle Goodies is a collection of descriptions of the odd, the bizarre and the wonderful items, characters and locations you might find in Chult.

Or rather, they’re hired to visit Raan, … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review – Bleeding Gate: Amalgamation
I used the new Dungeon Master’s Screen (Reincarnated!) the other day. I referred to it about as much as I usually do – I looked at it once to find the distance a group of monsters started away from the party. But that was it. It wasn’t always that way. Back when I was playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (first edition), I referred to my … Continue reading Tales of the Screen
