A Complete Lack of Intellect

Morning dawned on the Hand of Destiny as they lay in their suite at the Yawning Portal. Aleera woke up to find a blonde woman in the bed where Renard was supposed to be sleeping. Renard himself was gone and there was no sign of the hat of disguise that Milo had lent him. While they all collectively berated themselves for letting him out of their sight Milo tried to sense his hat with a special ability his dagger carried. It allowed him to detect objects and money of great value.  … More A Complete Lack of Intellect

Dice, Dice, Dice!

Most of the stories I write or articles I post are serious and to the point but today I just want to have fun. With dice. Yup, I’m one of those people that collects dice like they are precious gems. I bought a special bag for my dice on Etsy and I haven’t stopped collecting since. I even have a monthly subscription for dice from Critical Dice. So let me take you with me into my obsession. … More Dice, Dice, Dice!

Finding the Missing Fool

The party came together in the afternoon back at the Yawning Portal. With a mission at hand, they headed out to the Seaward to investigate the mystery of the missing Floon. On their way towards the Skewered Dragon, where Floon was seen last, they passed the sight of a terrible crime scene. There were dead bodies on the street. Blood was splattered on the smooth city stone.  … More Finding the Missing Fool

A Strange Proposal

The group was enjoying some ale after fighting the trolls that had come up from the Underdark to rampage when a well dressed man approached them. He introduced himself as Volothamp Geddarm. He was a famous adventurer in Waterdeep, making his fortune off the monsters he took on. Now he was retired and his book on strange creatures was his form of making a living. It still sold well even after all these years.  … More A Strange Proposal

The Yawning Portal

The Hand of Destiny was eating at their table within the bustling tavern, enjoying the music flowing over the crowd. There were people everywhere drinking, singing, speaking in crowds. Some unsavory characters lurked in the shadows of the bar waiting for willing victims to stumble across them. Durnan, the bartender, was handing out mugs of ale and cups of wine with the dexterity of a well trained expert.  … More The Yawning Portal

Entering the City of Waterdeep

The entire trip from Novos, across the ocean to the outskirts of Waterdeep, took about two weeks at full speed. The ship was meant to cross the water at faster speeds than most. Since they smuggled goods back and forth quite often, it benefited Captain Coppertree to move faster on the open seas. They made it to land shortly after sending the stowaway Doppelganger safely away from them.  … More Entering the City of Waterdeep

Digital vs. Paper

There are two types of gameplay for Dungeons and Dragons, really all tabletop games. You can go old fashioned pen and paper, calculating everything in your head or with the trusty calculator at your side. The other option is to do everything on a tablet, computer or even a phone. There are ups and downs to both of those options. … More Digital vs. Paper

Travel on the Open Seas

It was the third of Tarsakh when the party set out. They were out on the open ocean. The only thing visible from the deck of the Annabelle Lee Mark 2 was the great peak of Drakenforge in the distance. For Kaladrax, this meant leaving his home and family behind. After having to dock for months while the Curse of Ash raged through the mainland, the crew was exhilarated to be out on the seas once more. … More Travel on the Open Seas
