Ten years after the original release of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, a new core book set is coming… (+) Edition. Wizards of the Coast, LLC Three years ago, Wizards of the Coast announced #OneDnD as an effort to update and revise Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.

August 21, 2024 Posted in Ptolus | 0 The march was largely uneventful, apart from two encounters. First, a group of foragers flanking a horde of barbarians. They spotted the group and headed inland. The barbarians told the group to follow, which they did. After a while, they were spotted by cavalry, presumably scouts for the city’s defense forces. There were some tense moments, but the cavalry seemed content to just watch and made no attempt to make contact. Eventually, they rode in the same direction as the group of foragers. Several hours later, the group comes across evidence of…

Two doors are decorated with prison bar motifs and are guarded by a single figure in armor. Two of the same figures guard the corridor outside the room. In the center of the room, a beautiful dark elven woman in a stylish studded leather coat stands, looking out into the corridor. Diggin strides through the door, sprinting along on his stubby legs, swinging his axe. He slashes…

If you listen to the ground and put your fingers to the wind you’ll hear some serious poop smacking into the blades of a rapidly spinning fan. Magicians are kidnapped off the streets, earthquakes hit the upper reaches of cities, children are tattooed with runes and sacrificed to nameless gods, barbarian armies are stirred up and cities are mobilised. Overwhelmed by refugees flocking to the city to escape the oncoming barbarian hordes, attempts to find alternative accommodation have failed. In fact, food and lodging prices have skyrocketed.

Making their way through the fearsome lightning tower, they return to Medusa’s lair, but first spend a few minutes firing arrows at the forest of tentacles that appear to still be guarding the area. Once defeated, they locate a dwarven coat rack and smear jelly on it. Minutes passed and nothing happened. The stars of paranoia swirl. Was this a trick? A ploy to lure everyone here and then dispose of them underground in the city? Whoa! My more level-headed side prevailed and I decided to sit back for a while and see if it just took too long. What…
