Lords of RPG

It is interesting.  The fantasy fiction you were raised on, often informs the tone and attitude of the world you imagine when you play D&D.  This goes equally for the DM and the players.  In the past, I've had players raised on...

Our party of adventurers parted from Francios Marchant, and went back to the nearby tavern.  The only tavern in the small town of Toulon.  It was named the Greedy Goblin, and a wooden sign out front featured a rough painting of a...

Hey...I've got something cool for all of you. I'll add this to the new rule-set, so that its spelled out. But, EVERY CHARACTER GETS A FEAT AT 1ST LEVEL. Regardless of species. Humans get 2 feats at 1st level. These feats must be from the new...

A favor from each of you if possible. I would love to know about 2 to 3 of your favorite old player characters. Characters that you really enjoyed playing, and those games just ended, and we're really not sure where they are at or what they are...

What do you think about a couple skills along the lines of thieves cant...or maybe they're just languages. One would be Battle Tongue. Not really a spoken language, but hand signals, etc. The kind of things navy seals, rangers, etc use to...

I have not brought this up before, and so we've sort of ignored it.  But, in a dark and gritty game, encumbrance rules should be in play.  So, as of the November 2021 game, we'll be following encumbrance rules.  Now this is not as...

Is everyone as excited as I am to see your characters in action at 2nd level?  I'm pretty excited about it.  Thanks for bearing with me during a long stint at 1st level.  I enjoyed watching the struggle, and I'm really happy that I...

Okay.  Converting my computer to Linux has breathed new life into my willingness and ability to do things on my computer.  :-) I've added the Epic Moments Card set to the Carnival of Wonder Roll20 campaign.  This should make it...

I'm pulling together some of the alternative (expanded) rulesets we will be using in our campaign, and posting them in the "Group Files" section of this Carnival of Wonder group.  Thus far, I've posted the expanded Poison, Feats, and Minor...

At the beginning of this campaign, all of your characters will work for the Carnival of Wonder.  So, perhaps you think I've already answered the title's question.  But, I have not.  :-) Yes, you all work for the Carnival, and you...

Mark, Do you have any details you are comfortable sharing with us about Crowwood for use in interlude stories?    

All players are going to want to have at least one backup character. This campaign is going to be a little harsher and more gritty. So, having a back-up character you are interested in eventually playing lessens the sting if your 1st character ends...

This is a great article on Sword and Sorcery in Dark Worlds Quarterly. http://darkworldsquarterly.gwthomas.org/why-sword-sorcery/?fbclid=IwAR1bKTOusaPmhPFZO2lWqvOkVckyiAmVSksSBw0FOwwRVCMLzpe1I4nhSSc Mark

Magic is broken.  Both Divine and Arcane.  Magic is Elusive and rare.  It is difficult to learn, and mistrusted by the average man.  There are reasons for this that we'll get into later, but just take it as an accurate...

In the Sixth Age, the "Age of Ravens," magic and heroes have disappeared from the world.  Demi-humans and other humanoid species have all but retreated from view.  The great Empires and Kingdoms of the former age are shadows of their...
