The Great Tower of Oldechi: Gaiden
So here’s the thing. The summer between floors 16 and 17 was rough for the campaign. I lost players to the summer break, more than I was expecting. I had a falling-out with another player. Of the players who were … Continue reading

The Great Tower of Oldechi: Jay
I kind of assume everybody is familiar with some version of the Rule of Three because it’s so ubiquitous, but in case you’re not familiar with it, in general it means that audiences like it when things come in threes. … Continue reading
The Great Tower of Oldechi: Haelyn
Alex and Rody were part of a common but not mandatory progression in DMing style. Alex was mundane, by-the-book, and serviceable but ultimately forgettable. Rody pushed boundaries and tested the system, but made mistakes as he defined his style. Neither … Continue reading

Campaign Writeup: The Eight Arms and the Deed of Taiyun Gao
The Eight Arms and the Deed of Taiyun Gao is the third campaign to end in the Eight Arms universe, though it was the second to start (five-week campaigns do a number on my count). The Eight Arms see an … Continue reading
Campaign Writeup: The Eight Arms and the Conqueror Worm
I recently concluded the second campaign in the Eight Arms universe, The Eight Arms and the Conqueror Worm. It’s part of my continuing effort to design a D&D super-adventure by building a setting organically through a series of campaigns (basically, … Continue reading
