    I love Fritz Leiber’s Lankhmar, and look forward to reading a deep dive into Lahnkmar lore.

  30. Keith Baker announces “Project Raptor”

    At noon today, Keith Baker announced Project Raptor, a new sourcebook for Eberron.
    In coordination with this announcement, Manifest Zone dropped a special episode KB Presents: Project “Raptor”).
    I have not yet had a listen, but any new content from Eberron’s creator excites me. From what I’ve gathered, I can look forward to Keith Baker further exploring the planes of Eberron. And I’ll get a nice new hardcover for Eberron.

  33. Revisiting Eberron: Why I am Excited to Explore the Campaign Setting
  34. Random Eberron Regional Origins
  35. The How and the Why of Indices of Game Crunch

    I posted my Index of Allowed Classes, Races, Cultures, and Backgrounds on Reddit. And someone asked the following:

    Am I missing something here? This is just a list of various races and subclasses for use in your game? Maybe something about why you chose these would be good.
    Good question, let me go over the why and the how.

  36. Index of Allowed Classes, Races, Cultures, and Backgrounds

    A set of three tables detailing the available classes, races/cultures, and backgrounds for my flavor of Eberron.
    You could use these tables as an index for other 5E campaigns.

  37. Rite of Admixture - A Ritual for the Dark Six of Eberron

    Invoking the Rite of Admixture, the Night of Thirst offers homage to the Dark Six of Eberron. On the Night of Thirst, followers of the Dark Six celebrate cunning, victories, passions, death, knowledge, and the power of nature.

  39. Ten Influential RPGs (for me)

    My list of the top 10 influencing RPGs as well as why.

  40. Procedures for the Liberation of Sir Uravulon Calcidius

    At the start of each session after leaving the Tower of the Stargazer, have the player with the unluckiest character pick a number between 1 and 16. Then have them roll a 1d16. If they roll their number, something or someone has freed Sir Uravulon Calcidius.

  41. Burning Wheel Lifepaths Inspired by Warhammer Fantasy

    Recently, I’ve been reading through the First Edition of Warhammer Fantasy RPG. The character creation is rather spectacular. Encoded in the career descriptions is a vibrant setting, and a clear antecedent to Burning Wheel.

  50. The Campaign Timeline Thusfar

    The campaign began in the 172nd year of the common calendar.
    Sessions that I ran are not in real world chronological order. They instead reflect my efforts to incorporate players with funnel survivors into the over-arching campaign.
    In reviewing the calendar, I’m noticing that there are not enough farmers now in the fields, because people are seeking wealth and riches.
