Introduction This map comes from our currently running 5e campaign. I think the PCs were around 3rd Level when they explored the Temple. The map was not quite finished when we used it but I dusted it off and finished/updated it for this post. Setting notes: This adventure takes place in my own campaign world, which …
This is the second set of Troika! backgrounds I have been working on. I think my intent now is to make a full set of 36 and create a setting that unifies them. Perhaps something basic to begin with, a few factions, spheres and a map. Maybe eventually a short adventure that could take place …
Introduction This map comes from our currently running 5e campaign. The PCs actually went through here around a year ago near the start of the campaign. A lot has happened since then…I believe the PCs were 2nd or 3rd level when they arrived here. It’s a relatively slow levelling campaign as I am not particularly …
So I recently grabbed myself a copy of Troika! (Sell, 2021). It has filled my mind with wondrous ideas despite being a cute waif of a thing. It could still give you bruise if you were boffed on the noggin with it due to it being lovely and hardback. It is a simple, weird science …
Postgame Ponders are an excuse to think out loud about how running published scenarios went. Also, they function as a review and advice post sort of, maybe, probably. What is it?

What is This Thing? is a series of creative writing prompts. Each starts an art thing, often by a friend, sometimes abstract. The art is used as inspiration to create RPG related stuff. Is it a monster? An item? A cool hat? We find out. The Art Thing Introduction First off, I love this thing. …

Sometimes they are play tested and sometimes not. If you enjoy, please leave a comment. Skip to: Description, Quick Reference, Diet-based …
Let’s talk about weird and wonderful plant life. Sometimes we need an unusual plant for the PCs to encounter. Perhaps we don’t want another combat encounter in the wilderness. Maybe normal plants are just boring and we want a magical fantasy twist to the scenery. Maybe we just like rolling on tables and plants don’t …
This right here is where the monster gets introduced or perhaps it is a bit of flavour text. Who knows? Not me, I haven’t written it yet or gone beyond just tinkering with the website. I suppose it’s a beginning to have some words somewhere…Well the next post will be better. It will have details …
