Monster stat blocks in Fifth Edition are sometimes complicated and have a lot of moving parts. Unless you’re an expert at the game, it might be difficult to suss out how they are supposed to be run. I designed this guide to help gamemasters understand the core tactics of Fifth Edition monsters....

Hey all!
If you're looking for a quick way to decide what CR monsters and how many to send at your party using the EMHD difficulty classification system, here is the sheet I'm using for my own reference.
The first tab explains how to use it. Then the sheet organizes the tabs by ...

The first big adventure of the new year will quickly remind you that, yes, it is indeed winter (as if all the snow everyone's been getting isn't enough).
I've got 17 locations to fill. Usual rules apply:
1) Keep it clean
2) Nothing too anachronistic<...

Hope you're all well-rested. As soon as start the fulfillment process on our last two Kickstarters (Legends of Omeria should be shipping within the next month or two and Pexia/Hot8 are both in final production), we're going to start doing "Quickstarters" for the Gamemas...

I had a brain fart and forgot to come up with magic items for the Pexia book. I need about 3-4 pages worth, so roughly 12-16 magic items.
Drop your best ideas down in the comments below. No need to come up with the jargon for them, just give me the rough idea.

Hey all!
First of all, this isn't a paid ad haha!
But I figure since there's a lot of new folks here who've recently come from Instagram, you probably don't know all the big players in the field yet. For my money, one of the best music composers working today is our friend, Michael Gh...

Nightwalkers won the Fan Content Policy poll, but they kinda just linger and kill things. So I also tossed in Shadar-kai, hence the name.

I thought I might end the year with an adventure that uses monsters that aren't in the SRD. If you don't already know, I'm limited by what I can use by Wizard of the Coast's systems reference document (SRD). This means I can't use certain creatures like beholders, mindflayers, etc....

Happy early holidays. While Scott's finishing up Pexia's Guide to Omeria, I'm in the home stretch for fishing up Hand of the Eight. All that's left is the Citadel of the Danaavrakti that features the final conflict between the characters and the story's overarching villain.

Here's kind of a weird poll, but last night I got kind of a clever idea for a dynamic fighting system that allows people do a little bit more during combat. The rules aren't necessarily Fifth Edition (I'm thinking of basing them on BRP, Call of Cthulhu's system), but they real...
