Presence of the Lightbearer Kurt squatted down on his haunches, watching his young partner fidget. The tunnel went deep, his shoulders ached from repelling down it for the last half hour. The halfling, by contrast, only seemed to grow more excited and spry with every new drop. The hole continued down, not perfectly vertical of... Continue Reading →
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...

Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. DMs, GMs, and other interested parties, welcome back. Last week was a short post, but we talked about the big escape from slavery. The overall plan was basic enough: climb over the wall in the wee hours of the night. We left out a lot of details... 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 →
As the last part in my On Fighters & Fighting series, have an Unarmed Fighting Style Generator and some thoughts on Hit Points in combat!
