Text of the page (random words):
dees this collection is a great starting point for miniatures the acrylics have front and backside art and the starter set has an awesome variety of icon foes for any d d campaign if you need more monsters in a specific category arcknight sells horde packs for humanoids undead wilderness and dungeon dwellers their products are a great way to expand an existing miniature collection when you need foes that fit a particular theme lastly if you still crave 3d plastic miniatures there are ways to expand you collection that are cheaper than others the dungeons dragons board games as a somewhat inexpensive way to source specific miniatures wrath of ashardalon comes with an awesome dragon otyoughs bears orcs and cultists while castle ravenloft has an array of different undead skeletons wraiths zombies as well as kobolds wolves and undead dragons each of the board games comes with a party of adventurers fighters rogues clerics wizards etc as board games they aren t that bad either but the miniatures are the main attraction note that they come unpainted so you may want to spruce them up yourself posted by raging owlbear at 1 28 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share

that time of year again when spooky one shots are all the rage don t miss this opportunity to run something horrific or just a little weird to add variety to your d d game ten years ago i recommended several chilling adventures for your halloween spectacular this year i offer a sequel nearly 10 minutes years in the making nothing unusual here the citizens of mudhole are unusually fond of their miniature pigs carrying the pigs with them everywhere everyday all the time is it a pet fad or something more sinister a side trek for 1st 3rd level parties where the pcs actions may actually be the worse thing to happen to this town killer kobolds from outer space leaning hard into the gonzo science fantasy side of d d we come across out of this world oddities like killer kobolds from outer space in this twist on a normal adventure the players take on roles of hapless kobolds attempting to obey the orders of their mad kobold kween madcap escapades and brutal violence ensues this is not your ordinary one shot and is a excellent way for your group to let loose on the crazier side of rpgs the art alone is spectacular and worth the cost of admission serving the squash surely nothing could go wrong with an other worldly pact to precipitate a bountiful harvest right right in this adventure hapless 1st level characters find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time can they save the night and the village by fighting off gruesome gourds night of the walking dead as noted in my original halloween article night of the walking dead is a classic zombie horde adventure written originally for the ravenloft setting in ad d 2nd edition it now has a 5th edition conversion you will need both the original module and the conversion file to run this for 1st to 3rd level pcs dead by dawn requires dungeon magazine 176 and the 5th edition conversion guide this dawn of the dead hommage written for d d 4th edition is set in a ruined temple in which the pcs must hold out until dawn while wave after wave undead attack dead by dawn has a 5th edition conversion guide balanced for 3rd level adventurers this adventure runs on a timer and each tick of the clock gets a bit worse

complicated by spirits longing to escape along the way pcs will be encounter with feral cats creepy dolls and a demonic finale the adventure is set for parties 4th to 6th level with scaling suggestions for less or more powerful parties the haunt from the mind of phil beckwith comes a trilogy of terror starting with an exploration of a haunted manor house another creepy doll and a nasty hag the haunt is for a 4th to 5th level party with caveats source halloween knight from reaper miniatures the haunt 2 in the haunt 2 the creepy doll is back and as bad as ever in the ruins of a cursed a child s illustrations paint a picture of a horrific haunting the pcs will experience clues in the form of spine chilling visions can they solve the mystery and survive the haunt 2 is intended for a party of 6th level lower level pcs enter at a dire risk the haunt 3 in the final adventure of the trilogy the evil doll s trapped soul yearns for release can the adventurers travel through time to prevent her hellish imprisonment the haunt 3 is intended for adventurers around 8th level or a more extreme challenge at 7th level the haunt trilogy is also available as a special edition hardback or pdf bundle that includes extras such as updated maps item cards combat trackers and custom papercraft miniatures the liching hour what happens when a goblin wizard gets it into his head that the path to power lies in summoning vecna well you definitely don t want to be nearby to find out fight your way through cultists undead beholder kin and a newly risen lich to survive the night for 5th to 8th

the worst edition for role playing tldr no but you know the algorithm rewards click bait headlines as i was re reading some of my older books i had a re revelation about about some of 4e least fair critiques one of which being that d d 4e doesn t support role playing mechanically now to be fair no d d edition support role playing with very robust mechanics it is assumed you will play out any npc conversation with the dm and they might call for a skill roll that s pretty much it but d d 4th edition actually adds an element of social mechanics through skill challenges there may be a role playing goal the party needs to achieve such as a negotiation which may consist of a number of successful skills checks to convince the npc or group to help the party the pcs may bring different skills to bear such as diplomacy deception insight intimidation or even performance basically anything that might win over the npc in the negotiation this could be a diplomatic negotiation an interrogation rallying troops to improve morale before a battle winning a contest of wits basically it could be anything that relies on the social skill of the pc s skill challenges can also be used for physical events that require multiple checks such as a chase scene or finding one s way out of the wilderness but my observations are more about the role playing aspects of these challenges i also discuss the character generation process within the player s handbook and how that supports the role playing aspects i understand 4th edition is nowhere near perfect it certain has its flaws but i also believe those flaws are often exaggerated because reasons regardless i hope you enjoy my video observations on role playing in 4e in future posts i ll likely explore the absolute gems that are

after a long hiatus this week i take a look at lord of the rings roleplaying 5e and talk about how it compares with the one ring and its 5th edition predecessor adventures in middle earth there were some strange choices made by the designers of this rpg which i note around 14 00 i discuss jouneys counsels and other mechanics specific to this game chapter timestamps below sorry about the audio delay in the middle tldr this is an excellent adaptation of the one ring to 5th edition mechanics however if you are not adverse to trying a new system consider picking up the one ring instead which in my opinion captures the feel of lord of the rings slightly better than the 5th edition mechanics lord of the rings roleplaying https amzn to 43swqrm the one ring https amzn to 3p26i8o side note i
