The Tomb of Diderius. The Serpent Hills. The adventurers had come to the hills in pursuit of Varram, a disgraced Wyrmspeaker who had lost his Mask of Dragons. 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
The Book of Lost Spells is now available in PDF! (The print copy will follow in a month or so). This completes the series of books that Necromancer Games/Frog God Games put up for kickstarter last year. Go have a look! There’s more I will probably say about it in the future, but for now… it’s out! Continue reading The Book of Lost Spells
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
Dan Hass’s seventh adventure, The Poison Works, sees the adventurers finally making their way into the territory of the Red Blades. As is typical with these adventures, the formatting is poor, the maps are adequate, it would be nice to see better editing, but there are some good encounter ideas. The formatting problems really hit the first encounter, which explains the details of the PC’s … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: The Poison Works
A Little Bit of Thievery is a short adventure for first-level characters in which the characters are hired to steal a magical object (a silver raven figurine) that is being displayed at a noble’s party. The adventure describes the grounds of the manor, its inhabitants, and a number of potential options for the players.

Adventures in High Wold is a 9-page adventure and sourcebook for a small town by Corey Ryan Walden. It’s attractively presented, and is designed to be used with any fantasy RPG. This means that it lacks any statistics past terms like “1st level fighter”. It wouldn’t be hard to adapt it for use, but it does require some work on the part of the DM. … Continue reading Adventure Review: Adventures in High Wold
The sixth part of Dan Hass’s Dimgaard series, And the Dwarf Thane Slept, finds the party hired to acquire and transport a supply of gems so that the clerics of the land can cast raise dead again (they’ve run out!). Persuading the dwarves to help is likely to be easy, as their Thane has recently died and the clerics can raise him! This is an … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: And the Dwarf Thane Slept

Written for 1-8 characters of level 2, the adventure is 25 pages long and is a significant amount of work.

I’m extremely late with this review of Legends of Baldur’s Gate #4 – which is mostly due to being very busy with The Book of Lost Spells – but it’s worth noting that this is a great issue. The story kicks into high gear with this instalment, getting ready for the Big Finale in issue #5. “Boo, if he does not help us, you must … Continue reading Comic Review: Legends of Baldur’s Gate #4
The Blacksmith’s Burden is a short, sidetrek adventure by John Rossomangno for characters of levels 2-4. The players must investigate why a blacksmith is working day and night – but has nothing to sell to his fellow villagers. When John describes this adventure as “short”, I immediately compared it to the other adventures that I’ve been reviewing recently. At 24 pages, this is quite a … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: The Blacksmith’s Burden
