Show of hands: Who loves (or has played) Mork Borg? If you’re not familiar with the game, Mork Borg is a “rules-light”, Old School Renaissance style roleplaying game that’s heavy on atmosphere and promises gruesome, heavy metal action and mayhem. The whole rulebook is 80-ish pages (including an adventure), and it’s a great system to …
We’re back with another Side Quest! This time I’m showing some love to the misunderstood mechanical minions of Mecanus: Modrons! I wanted to try something a little different so this encounter is less of a dungeon-crawl and more of a race. Will the adventurers get the lost modrons home before they corrupt? Find out in …

Woah look out, Side Quests are back, baby! As a quick primer, I started a new job with WizKids earlier this year, and while I was able to keep producing maps and adventures for our Patrons, I unfortunately couldn’t manage the time or energy to update the Side Quests on the website.

Hey everyone! It’s been a hectic few weeks for us: the holidays kept us busy, I turned my focus towards finishing the third Wild Beyond the Witchlight map pack as well as an “under-NDA” project, and we moved to Washington. Why Washington, you might ask? It’s been a secret so far, but I got a …

I’m barely halfway through (review coming soon), but I’m already getting tons …

It’s been a bit, but I’m back! I’ve been hard at work on the newest map pack for Wild Beyond the Witchlight! I’ll talk a bit about that later, but for now let’s shift into spooky season. Just like last time, you never know what your players are going to get up to during a …
I’m back with another simple random dungeon for September’s Design-A-Dungeon Challenge! The rules are basically the same – consult the random dungeon generator in the Dungeon Master’s Guide and make a map out of it. To make things simple, I limit myself to a 10×6 page, and if a room or passage doesn’t make sense …
Goblinoids get a bad rap in most D&D games. Goblins mostly exist as fodder for low-level dungeons or expendable minions for more powerful creatures. Bugbears are typically seen as back-stabbing layabouts who are content to steal whatever they find. Hobgoblins are war-like and honorable to a fault, with little other redeeming qualities to their society. …
There’s always a chance that a party makes a decision so unexpected that even experienced DMs need to stop to figure out what’ll happen next. In the event of total DM brain melt, I always keep a small collection of random D&D encounter ideas to fill in the blanks. So for today, I’m happy to …
