Creature Creations: The Chaos Golem

Read the article of the fearsome creatures known as the Chaos Golems here at the great website Stuffershack.com 

This creature fits into any campaign of Epic level and can challenge even the best of players.  Intelligent and powerful, it is not a foe to be taken lightly.

Enjoy the read and any feedback from playtesting would be appreciated.

Thanks,

New Ritual: Merlin's Magic Item Enchantment

With the introduction of rituals in the 4th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons, it has (in my opinion) taken away a lot of the fun from spellcasters, especially when it come to creating, or improving magic items.  Characters are forced to take run of the mill items; where every other character has one or can acquire one at their whims.  

The players do have the options though of transferring previously acquired item properties and powers into a similar magic item of a higher level.  For example the party finds a +3 magic platemail suit of armour.  The player to get this item could, with the use of this ritual, transfer the existing properties and powers of thier current +2 suit of leather armour into the +2 suit of plate armour, provided that the armour they are transfering the properties to is not of higher level.

Hopefully Back on a Regular Basis!!

I have been absent for awhile. For the last couple of months I have been under an incredible amount of stress. This is not an excuse: it is a fact. So I am back and will hopefully be posting between here and there. It has been a busy summer, travelling out of country for over a month.  Other contributing factors have influenced my absence to the wonderful world of blogging. 

I am committed to bringing and trying to give new ideas, new perspectives to gaming in particular. Little by little I will try to return to the board and commit to quality articles.

Thanks for reading and welcome back!

TPK: Lair Assault

Last Friday, we experienced the second week of D&D Lair Assault: Forge of the Dawn Titan.  The turnout at the store has been great in the last two weeks. 

The party in question came into the Forge with a taste for revenge.  The previous week, the party was annihilated within a few rounds.  The problem with this type of game is that you have to be cooperative and work together to beat the DM.

Dark Legacy of Evard: Session 4

This week sees the party exhausted after a long battle with the monsters of the shadowfell, a couple of dusk beats and a shadow bolter.  This week we have the eladrin wizard Naivara, the dragonborn paladin Elhorn, the dwarven artificer John, the eladrin cleric Valenae.

Shortly resting, the party is preparing to return to the Old Owl Inn, when two of the town guard approach the party informing them that they are wanted at the Chapel of Peace. Brother Zelan has requested to speak with the party.

The party arrives at the chapel and the old priest introduces himself and tells the party that they came recommended by Grimbold.  Since he acknowledges the party as shadow slayers, he tells the party that he possibly has something that may aid them in the fight against these foul creatures.
