D&D – Seething Ginger

The Guilds of Ravnica

August 21, 2018 by Tionas·0 Comments

I like D&D. I like it very much, and it is one of the most enduring pastimes that I’ve had. Unlike nearly every other game or hobby I’ve had, I’ve never voluntarily put it on hold. I also like MTG very much. It’s a game that I can pick up and put down with relative ease, going to pre-release events and playing well enough every couple of months to feel good about playing.

Well, I’ll be damned if they aren’t going to jam these two right together again with a new sourcebook for D&D – Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica

I cannot tell you how excited I am to get this into my hands!

The Perfect Square – Creating a Scaleable Map

August 14, 2018 by Tionas·0 Comments

Its been a while since I did a D&D post about building and creating worlds, so, I think I’m just gonna rant for a short time on a small problem I found, involving map scales, and how I think I solved it.

Clovis the Invincible: PvP

July 30, 2018 by Tionas·0 Comments

Players and Gamemasters often share the responsibility of the driver’s seat of the adventure, with each one responding and reacting to each other to create a fun and memorable story. Every once in a while, though, the players forcibly eject the DM and take control of the game in a bizarre, awesome, and unintentional way. Last week, for at least a little while, the inmates were in charge of their prison.

Crunchy Flavor

One of the best things about role-playing is making and playing an actual character. While there are many types of players and many types of characters, the ones I find the most fulfilling are those who I can feel coming to life as I am gaming. The character I’ve been playing for the last year or so is exactly this type of character, and it is thanks to what I have termed Crunchy Flavor”

Clovis the Invincible – A Path Forward

March 20, 2018 by Tionas·0 Comments

Clovis has been hard at work these past few weeks, returning from evicting the goblins with little a few bruises, but no worse for wear. The rats were his worst foe, and though they almost took him out, his friends bailed him out swiftly.

Clovis the Gremlin – Flowers Worth Fighting For

January 16, 2018 by Tionas·0 Comments

While I’ve repeatedly introduced my current D&D character: Clovis the Gremlin (in the first day I changed his moniker from Brutal to Gremlin on a whim. Sue me.) I have not expounded on his further adventures and expiditions, nor have I rounded out the cast of characters he’s been running with. So Lets start that.

From the Ground Up – Peasant Housing

November 14, 2017 by Tionas·0 Comments

One of the basics truths of the Middle Ages, and many of the fantasy worlds that we create based in them, is that the world is bleak, cold and dirty. Many everyday conveniences we take for granted are a very long way off, and often haven’t even been thought of as a something that people should even desire. Come, lets take a look at what fantasy middle ages housing would look like!

From the Ground Up – Laws

October 20, 2017 by Tionas·0 Comments

It’s been another long stretch, but I want to start getting back to writing about the small yet important things that people should pay attention to that make a dig difference in trying to take people to a different world. This time, I want to talk briefly on laws, punishment, crime, and the judicial system, because its a fascinating topic that I think can make a big difference in how players see breaking the law, and why their actions matter in a fantasy, middle ages world.

Character Creation: Clovis the Brutal

Well, its finally come: A day I get to create and build my own character and see how swiftly I can get them killed by the DM I’m going to be running under.

I figured I’d start out this little epic by giving a rundown on the character I am going to be playing, Clovis the Brutal (Working Title). Its a character I’ve wanted to play since early 3.5 that I just never, ever got around to, and now is his time to shine!

The Scion of Earth and Ash – Gromulus, Son of the Demon Queen

Yesterday, as I write this, I finished up one of the longest campaigns I’ve ever ran, and the first one that took the group from 1-20. It was an awesome nearly 3 years, and I’d like to share just a little bit of it with you.
