Number of Views :603In the final game in the Heroic Tier of “Lords of Dust”, our heroes moved into a Creation Forge and fought amongst the turning gears. It wasn’t a safe prospect, I can tell you that. The grinding of cogs had the option of ending gristly, which it did for a few “Hellforged”. [...]

Fluff/Inspiration
Number of Views :524I used to think I only rolled badly as a DM. Whenever I would roll badly, I’d just chuckle and say, “Hey guys, I’m helping you out!” It seemed to work well for my players, so I wasn’t one to complain. But now, when I’m just a player, I find myself rolling [...]

The last session ended with the characters fighting inside a corrupted Creation Forge against a Drow sorcerer and the “Hellforged”, a group of Warforged created by the corrupted Creation [...]

Star Wars Saga Edition
Number of Views :664I’m starting up a new campaign soon with some friends. We’ll be playing when our ship goes out to sea for training, so I decided to try out Wizard of the Coast’s Dawn of Defiance Star Wars Saga Edition campaign. I’ve already begun reading through the adventures, changing them where I need [...]
