Save Vs. Dragon

I think I'm really close to having a proof draft of the BX DMG.

People who've played in my games know that I'm sometimes big on languages in game play (which ones the PCs do/don't know, especially in regard to creatures encountered who don't speak Common).

DESCRIPTION: A gasfruit (a.k.a., "drooling menace" and "chartreuse fungi") is a nearly spherical fungal organism measuring 4'–8' in diameter.

Whenever I find myself waiting somewhere with time on my hands, I tend to get out my phone and start making notes in my Notes app for the BXDMG (or I got back and review previous notes and see if I have any additional thoughts on how I want to treat somet…

This is something I've had in a working form for nearly a decade, and as I've been cleaning up text files on my phone (where I tend to put my BXDMG thoughts/notes as I have them), and finding myself with some time yesterday to work on this, this is where…

DESCRIPTION: Gelatinous tyrants are large, translucent cephalopod-like predators whose gelatinous bodies measure about 7–8' tall and 5–6' across.

As mentioned last week in my Elevation/Acclimation rules, I'm being inspired by life to create additional sections and rules for my BXDMG.

DESCRIPTION: A Hypnolisk resembles a long, serpentine arthropod measuring 12–18' in length.

My wife and I recently spent a few days in Estes Park, Colorado, including a day in Rocky Mountain National Park.

I'm super happy with the work I've done over the last week or so for the "Effects of the Environment" and "Natural Hazards" chapters for the "Wilderness Adventures" section of my BX DMG.

DESCRIPTION: Thrindles are gangly, insectoid humanoids standing about 3½ feet tall.

In support of my continuing work towards a BX DMG, I've been working on Weather rules.

I'm playing around with a new idea where I take the new monsters I've been creating and posting to the blog (like the Quarreler) and follow each new monster description spread with a lair for that monster (set up as a short adventure), supported by some a…

DESCRIPTION: A Quarreler resembles a squat, fleshy mound nearly eight feet across.

In support of my continuing work towards a BX DMG, here's where my Camping rules stand.

Believe it or not, I'm in the final stages of a 2-volume set of d30 Books that I hope to release this December.

In support of my continuing work towards a BX DMG, here's where my Light & Vision rules stand.

DESCRIPTION: The vorash-kul resembles an immense, pallid mass of swollen flesh nearly 10' long.

Something my players have tried (off and on again) is splitting potions—particularly if many in the party are in need of healing.

In furtherance of my new d30 project mentioned in recent posts, I'm working on a demons encounter table.

If you've seen my article in the Petty Gods Expanded Edition, have a copy of Fang, Faith, and Legerdemain, you know that I don't feel like a single reaction table is broad enough to cover every D&D encounter.

I haven't told my players group yet, and we haven't gamed regularly in quite some time, but I'm hoping to pick back up this summer with a bi-weekly session.

One of my long-term projects is to continue collecting and expanding my house rules into a sort of "BX DMG."

I've been working on a pretty significant new d30-related book—well, really books... plural (more to come in future posts).

Turned a map from the Flatiron Building in a single-level dungeon with 30 rooms (so I could add a d30 table or two to go with it—to come in a future post).
