I posted a few new magic items last week a couple weeks ago (I’ve been too busy to take part in the RPG Blog Carnival I’m hosting, how sad is that?), and got some favorable response to them. I thought people may be interested in how I devised them. The …
I first saw this blog post from Joe the Peacock a few weeks ago. The link was posted to google+ and I decided to sit on it for a while before seeing if I could get it going again. From the post, This is a story about a boy who …
The Grumpy Dwarf at Tenkar’s Tavern has been riffing on (and ripping up) posts at Wizards of the Coast regarding their next edition of D&D (and I see there’s a new one up tonight, in response to today’s latest post at WotC about Balancing Wizards in D&D). Discussing the new …
Considering my last Links of the Week went up only five days ago, this one seems to have a fair bit in it. I’m still lagging way behind on my blog reading (and my own writing again; it’s been busy) but I’m still seeing a lot of good stuff out …
Greg Christopher does a fair bit of layout, and recently commented on google+ It feels weird for me to have an entire spread that I am working on with just text. I feel like there has to be a chart or an image to break up the spread in some …

The last couple weeks have been remarkably busy for me. This week’s Links of the Week has been delayed and aim to put it up Wednesday morning. Some of the other things I am working on: Devising Fantastic Creations, outlining how I create items such as Beobachten, Palavirea, and Kaiho-sha. …
Sean Holland asked a couple questions about Beobachten. From a comment on that post, Very interesting. But how does it “consume” the treasure? And is it lost forever or is it in some extra-dimesional horde? I think these are good questions, but I can’t really meaningfully answer them, for a …
Another entry for the RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Creations. Kaiho-sha, the Liberator. I read a story a few years ago, where one of the supporting characters (a warrior and leader of men) had been enslaved. After being freed (rescued by an ally) he decided to take the chain that had …
This is another Fantastic Creation I have had in mind for a while now, though somewhat simpler than Beobachten, the Dragon Watching. I have always liked the idea of wands, but the implementation in D&D has been generally lacking in my mind. Most of them time they are simply canned …
