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...
On and off, I have worked on various customized rule-sets for my games. I've taken a couple of runs at creating a rule-set from scratch. And I'm started, stopped, and started again on editing D&D 5e to match what 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...
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...
Ross asked a great question at the April game. Where is Daruth?
Here is a link to a map of the Crimson Coast, and you'll see Daruth at the Western edge of the map. :-)

Tonight's game will likely create quite a transformation for Eldermont, and the people of Eldermont. And your characters! Really no matter where the story of tonight's game takes us, it will be one transformation or another. So,...
I had heard good things from some of you about the stuff in the Tasha's Cauldron of Everything rulebook. So, I purchased it on Roll20. It is now part of our Rules Compendium, and I believe this will make options in that book available...
This is a great article on Sword and Sorcery in Dark Worlds Quarterly.

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...
It is fucking ridiculous how much trouble I have had with using Roll20. It worked so well early on, and then the video and audio issue arose, and you guys could not see or hear me...and I could not see or hear you. I used two different...
I have set up a Discord server for our group. It is called "Lords of RPG." To join that server, you must have a Discord account and then click this link:

I'm still figuring it all out. But, I...
Please look over your personal schedule, anniversaries, birthdays, planned vacations, etc...and comment on this discussion about any of these dates that won't work for you. Let's get 2021 pinned down. The Heroes of Eldermont game will...
Do crazy impersonators exist in Kempin. Like is there a crazy guy in dirty robes and a tinfoil hat running around Eldermont telling everyone he's King Vax?
