12 Masks of Halloween: #10 Reaper Lycra

October 28, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a striking mask and it clearly works well with the black hoodie in the picture. [I want this] What I like most about this mask is that you can fold it up and hide it in your pocket. This is a pull-down lycra fabric mask. This is the sort of mask you can […]

Mimics do not always need to appear as chests and doors

August 24, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

In Dungeons & Dragons there’s a monster called a Mimic that can polymorph into an object and back again. In 1970 in his book Future Shock the futurist and businessman Alvin Toffer coins the phrase Overchoice. The two are related because Overchoice is a mental state when people have a difficult time making a decision […]

Besides Drow and Illithids what else might adventurers encounter in the Underdark?

August 21, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Underdark Encounter

Here’s a question that DMs of the Forgotten Realms might have to ask themselves every now and then. Besides Drow and Illithids what else might adventurers encounter in the Underdark? It can be quite a challenging terrain to DM. I mean, can you describe the darkness for tunnel after tunnel while keeping the player’s attention? […]

Girl Genius - a pack of wild mimmoths

Mimmoths are small, tiny even, mouse-sized creatures that scamper around the world of Phil and Kaja Foglio’s Girl Genius world. While Girl Genius started out as a comic book, I’ve not read any, I’ve only read some of the novels like Agatha H and the Airship City and Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess so […]

Sergeant Nerd Games: A review of Banes

August 11, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Banes

You can pick Banes up at DrivethruRPG for US$5 and its only 17 page long. The RPG accessory is a set of system-agnostic tips for adding weaknesses to monsters in exciting ways.
