Can we unfederate from the detroitriotcity mastodon instance - it is specifically there to troll and post porn aimed at a bunch of our accounts. I've blocked the full instance, but this should be done for the health and safety of our mastodon instance as a whole.

I draw and release 10 maps a month outside of my commissioned work. I'll be posting them here again, because it has been a long time since I routinely showed off my work here. Gascon’s Pit Gascon’s Pit is a shaft in the centre of some old ruins. The pit was once under a roof, but the...

Chrome is refusing to load the Mastodon instance.

I don't think the ENWorld Mastodon instance is a major concern for the administration, but it is currently ... wonky.

On the previous version of the forums I had a thread that I kept updating with a few hundred of my hand-drawn maps on it. That thread and forum didn't make the transition to the new forums and I stopped updating here. Were I to want to start posting my maps as I draw them again, what would be...

Over the 9 years that I've been drawing maps, I've posted the occasional thread and map to these forums. With all the hoopla going on over Patreon right now (which I use extensively), I figured I could start posting highlights and updates of my work again. I draw my maps using technical...

Beneath the recent ruins of an unnamed fort in the rough mountains north of Dawnharbor is the “Hall of the Ghoul Prince”. Tales in Dawnharbor mention that the fortress was assaulted and partially destroyed by an angry mob of townfolk and a couple of adventurers when it was discovered that the...

Somewhere on these forums I have an old thread full of my maps. I figure it is time to get back out here and show off my new work. My skills have improved over the past four years. For instance, here's a map I posted in 2009: And here's a dungeon I drew up more recently (just prior to my...

I'm curious how to submit news stories, or do we just hope the news we want makes it? I checked the FAQ thread, but didn't find anything about it there.

I've been gone for a long time, but the resurrection of ENWorld made me realize I hadn't posted here in AGES. I love maps. I particularly love hand-drawn maps. It's nearly a fetish for me. Seriously. Anyways, I figured I'd pop in to say "Hooray, ENWorld is back!" and also to show off some...

Every year there's a new controversy for the ENnie awards. This year the controversy is as to whether quick-start rules deserve the nominations as best free products. That’s it. Seriously. Awesome. That’s hardly a controversy. It’s a minor discussion point regarding judging styles and the...

Adapted from my blog: 5 Military RPGs I cut my teeth on Since the beginning of the RPG industry, the military was home to a lot of gamers for whatever reason. In turn this meant that a lot of the early RPGs that moved out of the Dungeons & Dragons mold were of a military bent. For the...

Last month, someone posted a "standard stat block" based on the 3d6 dice probabilities. Now, could someone check what the average roll of 3d6 twice keep the best would be? And what a "standard stat block" for six stats developed that way would be?

Modified from my blog - 5 Surreal RPGs that have me hooked « A character for every game I’m an old-schooler. I love the classic Dungeons and Dragons feel and game. But I’ve also learned to love just about everything else out there in RPG-land. Even those games that leave you scratching your...

So, I'm in the middle of writing up a conversion / expansion kit for classic Top Secret (bringing in the best material from the Top Secret companion and the Top Secret / SI game, as well as a rewrite of the hand to hand combat and social contact rules). As part of this, I'm compiling a list of...

I managed to lose (ie: a gamer borrowed and never returned and now has disappeared with) my copy of Haven: City of Violence and a couple of expansions I had for it. I have basically no interest in LPJr's d20 material, but I enjoyed his remake of the classic Top Secret game as something more...

Everyone I game with knows my favourite D&D is Moldvay Basic (or Labyrinth Lord if necessary - like for one group where no one has a copy of Moldvay Basic). So, a few of us got together tonight to play it, and for once I wasn't the DM. We plan on meeting every Tuesday until I head to Mexico...

Today was the "Great Glebe Garage Sale" - a community garage sale in one of the nicer residential parts of downtown Ottawa. Having had success at previous Glebe sales (I scored a copy of Cyborg Commando for $3 two years ago), I loaded up with my backpack and hit the neighborhood at 7 am to see...

Has anyone done any good retro conversions of the 3.5 Warlock class to AD&D1e or 2e or even better B/X?
