After reading, I felt it was very “The Hobbit” forward- which I believe is the best taste

Finally! After a near 4 month hiatus, we are back in (and successfully out of) the maw of @inplacesdeep.bsky.social 🪦 Nightwick Abbey 🪦

First hobby store I’ve found in Houston, Atomic, that sells bits by the gram!

Got a little pile of cool stuff

Time to get some Wizard of Earthsea going!

Peacocktrice 🦚 are some of my favorite monster reskin. The false eyes of the bird are just so symbolically aligned with the gaze/petrification aspect of cockatrices & basilisks; I’ve read a swan 🦢 variant that turns you to water too

Title of my sex tape…

Its awesome when the "dragon" is something else but still dragon-esque. And really birds ARE dinosaurs...

But the gold…

Every Angel is Terrifying... Reskinning the Beholder This is an attempt to reskin Dungeons & Dragons classic weird and terrifying monster the Beholder in a way that work...

Feel like expensive chalk would be a way a MU could lay magic traps or wards- each stick could cover a 10ft area.

Yeah, I think it covers all the basics doesn’t leave any awkward gaps when a tool would be the best option while dungeon delving

Very true. But I do like a few more weird items like a bell, chalk, sack with a chicken.

Hmmm maybe I could write a “what’s in your small sack?”

Looking through some old files, here is what Gygax apparently would give out at his convention games for each player's equipment (slots are my addition)

Just point toward Dungeon Meshi

A summer isle that is a Vancian fever-dream! It’s mysteries delight then kill you like the giant sword-welding octopus that pulled my PC Neuf LaBlue in two…🐙🔜💔

Great mag y’all! Grab it! And let’s keep great writing and art in the superior tree corpse format dropped off in your mail box like an ill-omen (of great game coverage!)

These maps are always awesome- look at that color!

Would so kill to have either Holmes or BX redone with those illos

FRIDAY NIGHT DUNGEON DRAFT: Editing <i>Six Doors of the Forgotten Lord</i> Rooms 01 to 06 CONTEXT & GOALS I have a slight fascination with understanding how much creative mileage one can get out of the Basic D&D and a couple of ...

I randomly keyed a Dyson map in 6-room clusters using Dolmenwood, aiming for quick Friday-night-D&D play over publication quality. Then thought it might be interesting to blog about 3 things to punch up each cluster: icastlight.blogspot.com/2026/04/frid...

I love random advancement tables! Here’s one for goblins or other sneaky little folks
