#rpgaday2024

My most played #TTRPG is, without contest, my 8-years long campaign of #DnD in a #MTG setting. We played two generations on three planes (Mirodin, Zendikar & Inistrad) and made the transition from #Dnd4 to #DnD5.

As a GM I sometime like to dive in other setting and game but the group always ask for more of the MTG campaign. Next season is already booked for September.

Mike Schley discovered a treasure trove of his old digital files for 3,5 and 4e maps. He plans to release them soon possibly including mods like player versions. #dnd #dnd3 #dnd4 #ttrpg #schley #cartography https://www.enworld.org/threads/mike-schley-wotc-cartographer-discovers-a-treasure-trove-of-official-3-5-and-4e-maps.702462/

What is a major house rule you added to your #ttrpg game? Why did you make the change? What game was it? How did your players take it or was it a group decision?

Having a blast playing D&D 4e with my OGs today. I think we've had this game going for 11 years now... I play a tiefling Mage named Mialli

Let's Read Threats to Nentir Vale!

The book's entry for Clan Bloodspear contains a few unfortunate cliches in its text, but here I talk about possible alternate ways to view them and include them in your Nentir Vale game.

They can end up looking a lot like early Rome, if you change just a bit.

Let's Read Threats to the Nentir Vale!

Calastryx is our second custom dragon in this book. A three-headed catastrophe slumbering in her mountain lair, waiting for the prophesized time of her awakening.

Let's Read Threats to the Nentir Vale!

Cadaver Collectors first appeared in third edition. This entry brings them to the fourth and adds a couple of hooks that tie them to the Nentir Vale setting.

Let's Read Threats to the Nentir Vale!

After the somewhat uninspired Bloodfire Ooze, we move on to the Boggle, an awesome little fey gribbly who likes thinking with portals:

Let's Read Threats to the Nentir Vale!

Our next entry is the Boggle, the common fey ancestor of the Goblin and Banderhob. A tiny terror that thinks with portals.

Let’s Read Threats to the Nentir Vale! Our next entry is the Bloodfire Ooze, a somewhat generic entry that might still make for an interesting encounter with the right stage direction. https://bira.github.io/octopus-carnival/2022/12/05/bloodfire-ooze.html #ttrpg #dnd #dnd4

Let's Read Threats to the Nentir Vale!

Our next entry talks about the Blackfang Gnolls. Personally, I'm not enthusiastic about Yet More Gnolls, but these are a nice update to the Thunderspire Labyrinth opponents.

I've fallen behind with posting Let's Read links here, but I'll eventually catch up.

So here's the next entry in Let's Read Threats to the Nentir Vale! Bitterstrike, the dragon who's a legendary queen in her own mind and a useful idiot in the minds of her vassals:

I started my Let's Read of Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale!

Here's the introductory post: https://bira.github.io/octopus-carnival/2022/11/25/wir-tnv-intro.html

Figuring out my paper office mess, throwback to when I saw that image of a skull and my mind went to #dnd4 #4e immediately and made up the Arachnimated Skeleton, essentially inventing an entire sub-school of Necromancy with it. Good times were had.
#ttrpg #yearsAgo #dnd

I forgot how good the #dnd4 #4e Dungeon Master's Guide 2 was at enhancing the game's depth. Sidekicks. Reskins. Player motivation. How-to-DM sidebars full of examples, a top resource for any GM of any game, similar to the cinematic focus of the WEG Star Wars Gamemaster's Guide.

#dnd achievements. I wanted to use those at one point... for #dnd4 or #dnd5 I don't remember. 🤷

... and I still have the goods as you can see in the background!
