Finally after a nice and long break? I have returned. Let's get to work. So, going through the list in the Monster Manual my eye immediately landed on Chimera for whatever reason. It kind of felt like a perfect creature to hop back into the saddle that is what ever this is. When I …

Monster Mania: Bullywug
So about a week ago I was going over the list of monsters in the Monster Manual to find somebody to talk about. I settled on the Bullywug because it seemed like a fairly simple, and an encounter fodder monster. Holy shit was I wrong. Initially I thought they were just random enemies to be …
Monster Mania: Dracolich
What better way to start the new year than with a deadly monster to talk about? The Dracolich is perhaps the most interesting monster in the Monster Manual. Much in the same way that a Lich is created a Dracolich starts with the creature being completely up their own rear end. The main, and …
The Worn Edge: Routine
Three floors, possible basement level. Brick wall surrounding the compound with two small guard posts at the front. I count thirteen total occupants, four guarding the compound in rotations. People constantly coming and going. Presumably to run a job or more likely stop off at the local tavern. Spotted the leader only twice. Veral kept …
Monster Mania: Helmed Horror
Spellcasters maintain an arsenal of spells, scrolls, and weapons. Not many are deadlier than the Helmed Horror. This magical construct is devised by only the most powerful badasses around. Helmed Horrors are unique when it comes to magical constructs due to their capability of making intelligent decisions. They still obey the commands that are …
Monster Mania: Revenant
Did you ever hate someone so much that you decide instead of dying a horrible, and ultimately undeserved, death you choose to return to your body with a new makeover and hunt them down to the ends of the earth? Then you might be a Revenant. A Revenant is essentially an undead Punisher. Essentially when …
The Worn Edge: Abyss
The afternoon breeze does little to cool off my annoyance. Sloan is the type of man that benefits off the misfortune of others. Grief is his gold, and unfortunately he deals in it by the dozens. He has this presence about him that oozes ill intention that mirrors his pale complexion and lanky form. He …
The Worn Edge: Off Time
I remember what it used to mean. The intensity of the hunt. How my senses could be so sharp, I would taste the blood in the air. The strength I would get from hunting with the best compatriots anyone could ask for. Over time that strength is slowly replaced with exhaustion and loneliness. Those I …
Monster Mania: Bulette
At this point it's no secret that Dungeons & Dragons is filled with some exotic, otherworldly creatures who wield incredibly dark powers capable of annihilating entire civilizations. Well the Bulette is not one of those creatures. Bulettes are horribly simplistic in nature and their only goal is to the next meal. Not to say that …
Take Three
Third time's the charm right? It was two years ago that I made this blog because the idea of displaying my creative ideas to anyone who was curious seemed like a fun experience and I could use it to catalog and perhaps even inspire new stories and methods of storytelling. Suffice it to say I …
