The Divine Mystic Path allows heroes to channel the might of the Dragon Gods to aid friend or harm foe! But the Dragons can be distant and fickle. The devoted are rewarded, but the lax may incur divine judgement!

The Amber Diceless #RPG is our inspiration today! Traversing the Infinite Shadows and vying for control of the city of Amber came with wildly innovative mechanics at the time. No dice meant more imagination!

Happy #Halloween to all! While the folk of #Drashar don’t celebrate, there is plenty of #horror to go round! Here are just a few of the Wretched that roam the lands during the world’s Long Dark season, when Oax’s will reigns.

Just a few shots from the last month. Being a biologist doesn’t exactly train you for horticulture, no matter if you understand *how* plants work. Glad I get to learn everyday.

A final October #fanpost! Ravenloft, the classic vampire supplement for #AD&D! This book gave us the Darklords and the ability to craft our own #vampire BBEGs. It also gave lots of tools for investigation and combat!

The Ma-Kara are nomadic peoples, wandering shores and seas, finding hallowed places of the Lady of the Depths. Their dance, song, and even speech are beautiful and haunting.

The best thing about HeroQuest is the broadsword!
When HeroQuest was republished in 2021, I was instantly transported to 1990. My cousin was such a trooper, paying for the game and playing with me anytime we got together. The Dwarf was my favorite “class” back then. His ability to upgrade his gear was so new to me.
