Happy Halloween!
Part 6 chewed up way more time (and many more words) than I ever imagined it would when I first outline this project, but hopefully you're as excited as I am by the results when it comes to the Zariel's story.
Also: With the benefit of a couple make-up days this week, I also managed to post a full slate of content in October! We'd missed that goal by 2 posts in August and 1 post in September, so it's good to be back on track.
October has also brought a tr...

I've spent a few weeks now trying to gin up a version of the Zariel/Lulu back story that (a) makes sense and (b) is consistent with the rest of DIA's continuity.
I thought I'd cracked it over the weekend and was going to have a bunch of updates starting Monday, but on final review it's slipped out of sync with the Lore of Gargauth.
It's quite frustrating, but figuring out how to bend it all around is more than I was able to solve last night. Hopefully I'll be able to get some ti...

Awhile back I posted DRAGON HEIST: THE FINAL SESSION, more or less a selection from my campaign journals which can be read as light fiction (although in this case I wrote it up specifically for the website). Response was pretty positive and I had some requests for more. I'm curious to see how much general interest there would be in seeing more of this type of content. (For example, I could write up the rest of my Dragon Heist campaign. Or my Eternal Lies campaign.)
(Note: This is somew...

Lots of people asked me to supplement the Icewind Dale: Travel Times article with a close look at Chapter 4: Destruction's Light (aka, Chardalyn Dragon v. Ten-Towns). So I did that.
This includes an updated PDF with both parts of Icewind Dale: Travel Times. Also updated maps and spreadsheet with minor corrections.

This is mostly a (belated) product announcement, but there is a brief discussion on constructing one-shot and single-scenario sandboxes that you might find interesting!
