following on from my last post, I’ve now been running D&D games for my son and his friends online every week and I’m really getting into it. My current setup is to use Discord for voice chat combined with the Avrae bot to manage combat. The Critter DB site is great for building and storing…

gaming workflow and tools
It’s been about six months since I got back into D&D, running games for my son. I have learned a lot in that time, including how to be a better DM, but that’s a story for another post. I thought I’d take a moment to go back and reflect on an earlier post I made…
eberron: rising
I just received my copy of Eberron: Rising from the Last War and I’m loving it. I bought a copy of the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide recently and while I appreciate the lore, I felt the book was thin on gameplay content. Sword Coast had some interesting subraces, a few new subclasses, and a few…
blade of the pact keeper
The steel of this sword has been blued so that it reflects little light. It appears to be a plain sword, but close inspection shows that it is not tarnished in any way, and the keen edge seems to cry out for blood. Don’t be the fool who tests its edge with your finger. It will cut…
seriously cool shades
These are some very cool shades. Full stats for this item can be found on my GMBinder page.
room of doom, version 3
This is the third of three versions of this room. The whole room is a gigantic ancient mimic. The chest is to lure hapless adventurers into the room at which point the “door”, which is its mouth, will close and the mimic will proceed with devouring anyone inside it. Mimic (Ancient) Huge monstrosity (shape changer),…
seed bombs
Seed Bombs appear to be small round balls of clay about the size of a golf ball. The surface is hard and has been polished somewhat and has a pattern pressed into the surface suggesting the kind of bomb that it is. Nicely formatted version of this on GM Binder.
distracting blade
The amazing polish on the surface of this knife will reflect any available light into the eyes of the attacker, blinding them momentarily. This is another one I’ve posted on GM Binder. This is also my 4th post this weekend. I don’t normally like to post so frequently and usually schedule posts to space them…
annoying beetle
This clockwork beetle starts curled up into a little ball the size of a walnut. It can be thrown as a ranged attack and when it hits a target, will spring to life, flying into the face of it’s target while making a loud buzzing noise, distracting the target. The printable version of this is…
deck of wonders
I’ve been playing around with an idea for a kind of mini card game within D&D. I want to use normal playing cards with poker hands to generate magical effects; the better the hand, the better the effect. I played around with various ways of generating a score from a poker hand that could be…
