We are THREE DAYS from #WeekendInHighfolk with @baldmangames.bsky.social - and the final lore drop has hit us. The big ol’ Highfolk wagon is a-comin’, but we hope you enjoyed this early tour. And hope you enjoyed the, uh, totally inconspicuous flora sidebars. 😉 #RiddleOfTheTrees
#LoGLOREDROP Tell us, could you be from the gnomish hills, gambling dens of Verbeeg Hill, or from the high mountains? There is great treasure to be found in all of them!
The #WeekendinHighfolk is almost sold out! Stay tuned to our Discord we open the portal to Oerth! tabletop.events/conventions/...

We’re _10 days_ from the #WeekendInHighfolk - and the lore drops keep on coming. (But no actually they end with the next one & pivot to other #Highfolk topics.) @baldmangames has added tables multiple times to keep up with demand - still some seats left! #dnd #ttrpg #greyhawk
Will your character hail from somewhere in the Vesve, either one of it's few settlements or just from deep in the wild wild woods? What secrets do you think are hidden there? #LoGLOREDROP

Just few tickets still roam! (tabletop.events/conventions/...)

So many #Highfolk #LoGLOREDROP going on! And these posts not only give you guidance from @baldmangames about how to think about your #dnd character, there’s stuff here that may be useful during that #LoG weekend as well! *winks in Druidic*
When the topic of the natural world arises, where will your Highfolk character stand? Will they focus on stewardship, try to preserve it, or dominate it? #LoGLOREDROP

Another important tension in the #Highfolk region of #LoG is the individual vs the collective. The community is often the central unit of measure on this #Greyhawk frontier - because if too many people prioritize their own self-interest? Disaster typically follows... #dnd #ttrpg
How will independence in Oerth matter to your character in the #WeekendinHighfolk? Where will they fall on the scale of the Individual vs Collective?🌲 Drop your own lore and let us know in the comments! #LoGLOREDROP

#Highfolk is the #Greyhawk version of the frontier. There are those who love being on the bleeding edge of civilization, and there are those who want the quiet rural life. Which one might your #DnD #LoG character be?
What do you think it might mean for your Highfolk character to be from the Frontier? Where will they fall on the spectrum of City versus Country in this November's #WeekendinHighfolk? #LoGLOREDROP

We’re taking a brief detour from the Nightmare Lands to talk about something completely different. (Well, still #dnd related, so not really that different.) Today is for that OTHER #ttrpg obsession: #dice! And my custom #Ravenloft set.
July 16, 2025 at 4:18 PM
#Highfolk deep lore nerd fact: Another name for the upper Velverdyva River is a “Quagflow”, as it empties Lake Quag in Perrenland. Passing between the Yatils and Clatspurs via a deep canyon called the “Gate of the Velverdyva”, it serves as the demarcation line between those ranges. #greyhawk #dnd
#Highfolk lies on the upper reaches of the Velverdyva River, one of the Flanaess' most important trade arteries. Barges from Perrenland and beyond carry rare goods, and river piracy, smuggling, or escort work are common adventure hooks.

The rulers of the Nightmare Lands in #dnd are a curious thing among #Ravenloft darklords (and varies across edition). But one constant is the Nightmare Court: villains who feed on the bad dreams and fears harvested from sleeping minds across the multiverse. Which is best (or worst)? #ttrpg
June 27, 2025 at 7:30 PM
#Ravenloft have been very varied over the years: from enormous oceans to mountain-enclosed valleys; from kingdoms to a single town, building, or even a gem! But which is the most fun and unusual of them all? I’d say it is THE NIGHTMARE LANDS... #dnd #ttrpg #horrorrpg
June 24, 2025 at 6:39 PM
Now it’s time for the weird #Ravenloft domains of dread! Over the years TSR and WotC produced some that have challenged traditional modes of #horror in #dnd and #ttrpg. Let’s take a look at some of the weirdest (note: art for some is definitely limited, so I’m being creative):
June 20, 2025 at 5:09 PM
#Highfolk deep lore nerd fact: the Vesve is so ancient, it has not only seen countless human realms rise and fall, it predates the timeless elves that now dwell within it. Some say it is as old as the #Flanaess - some say it is as old as #Oerth!
The Vesve is no mere forest. It is wild beyond reckoning; ancient, primal, and vast. A living tapestry of unspoiled groves and hidden glades, where beasts whisper, spirits linger, and trees have memory. It suffers no trespass and is slow to forgive.
#Greyhawk #Highfolk #DnD
June 14, 2025 at 7:04 PM
#Ravenloft has so many domains of dread and flavors of #horror - and as we saw in the prior thread that there are lots of popular ones. But here are some of MY favorites we didn’t list…
June 13, 2025 at 9:13 PM
#Ravenloft is organized into domains of dread, prisons for the darklord. Each reflect the particular #horror theme or idea. Over the next 3 days will look at domains in different ways. Today, the Top 5 er 6 “popular” domains. The first one, no surprise, is Barovia… #dnd #ttrpg
June 11, 2025 at 6:47 PM
#Highfolk deep lore nerd fact: settlements here are beautiful and integrated with nature in differing ways: in the Town of Highfolk it’s forests inside the walls; elsewhere it’s elegant wood buildings; Highvale folk build into the dells; in the Vesve they live in the trees… #dnd
No place in #Highfolk is untouched by the forest. Vines climb city walls, owls roost in market rafters, and deer walk alleyways at night.

#Highfolk deep lore nerd fact: Highfolk has no standing army. Even the “capital” Town of Highfolk. Historically Veluna has leant heavy infantry and calvary, and Furyondy has stationed troops there too. But they are little more than tokens. #greyhawk #dnd #ttrpg
Militias in the region of #Highfolk may be small, but nearly every citizen is trained with bow, axe, spear, or pitchfork. When one settlement falls, others will rise.
