Back. I am most definitely back from both real life and vacation... gone longer than I thought I'd be. But that's how it is when your group has holiday interruptions to sessions and a man has to pay the bills. But, that out of the way, we're going back to our old update schedule starting...

We are on a vacation, here at MSD--we'll be back in a couple of weeks with more posts!
As I discussed in my previous post (click here for that), my two current projects are a little different. I've had my collection of magic items (and I get tickled pink to this day seeing people out there at ENWorld and RPG.net and GITPG and reddit and etc., etc. etc.) link to them and discuss...

For the last month, I've been using my current Eberron game (with my most excellent Eberron players) to flesh out the sandbox for my first written and published module. Now, I've been running D&D for around 12 years properly, and other stuff before that. I've largely disdained module-based gameplay in favor of more open-world feels--but,... Continue Reading →
For those paying attention, we've been working on physical resources--not just digital ones--this month. If you haven't looked at our first projector build you can click here. Since then, we decided to take the basic concept and put a little more engineering into it. But, first principles... we still wanted to keep the build itself... Continue Reading →
It's all the rage and just started up as a fad... using projectors to cast an image onto a table top for the running of games like D&D (honestly, I've not heard of it used anywhere else, but it would be hugely useful for complex combat-oriented games like Dark Heresy as well). I first saw this... Continue Reading →
With summer vacations and moving all overlapping at the end of July, updates have been slower. But, with August 1st (Saturday), we'll be jumping out with a new series of content. We'll be putting together an exhaustive list of factions for your campaigns. Histories, notable figures, goals, secrets and ranks and perks and tips for... Continue Reading →
This post continues our series of Traps to Worry Your Players With--a new series at Many-Sided Dice about traps and making interesting ones. Our traps are intended to be fluffy (with lots of nice backstory you may choose to use or get inspired by) and mechanically interesting (with special disable requirements and side-ways solutions). Biltline The... Continue Reading →
As my own 5e Eberron game returns to my table this week after a month on hiatus (players on travel and vacation), we'll be getting into the dangerous world of life as the secret spies and adventurers for a growing city-state surrounded on all sides by enemy nations and vile conspiracies... Normally, in a given... Continue Reading →
This begins a new series at Many-Sided Dice about traps and making interesting ones. We’ll dial in on a running format in the coming weeks. Baleful Rains The Atrium---at least, that's what Kassie thought of it as---was broad and tall and long and rich with foliage. Down here, in the murk and mire of the... Continue Reading →
