The Plane Below is the first of several 4th Edition D&D books that delve into a bit more detail on specific planes and the kinds of adventures that can be found within them, as the title indicates this one focuses on the Elemental Chaos and everything pertaining to it.
Chatty’s Ptolus 4e Demo: A Tail of Two Shities, Part 3
See part 1 here and part 2 here. Rat and Roll! After the PCs rested for a few minutes, they continued deeper in the complex of caves and crypts. They eventually found the fleeing rats and followed their light to a large chamber. As they approached, they heard a rumbling sound, like stone rubbing on […]
Chatty’s Ptolus 4e Demo: A Tail of Two Shities, Part 2
See part 1 here. Of Kobolds and Rats As I mentioned in my pre-game post, the actual ‘dungeon’ of the adventure was a modified version of the Dungeon Master Guide’s ‘Kobold Hall’. In fact, I took Area 1, 3 and 4 and modified them to my needs. All kobolds became ratlings and I added a few other […]
Let Me Tell You About My Campaign: Might Of The Inquisition
In general, though, writing about my specific campaign tends to fall close enough to “let me tell you about my character” that I tend to let it go. However, I realize that there’s some value for me talking about my campaign, especially given my current setup. I won’t go adventure by adventure. I will, however, hit some of the important points of running the game in the hopes that it will help some of you run your own games.
Chatty’s Ptolus 4e Demo: A Tail of Two Shities, Part 1
(This series title was chosen by the players, you have been warned) As announced here, I organized a D&D 4e demo for 4 members of the Mindnight’s Lair local RPG forum. I didn’t want to do a big D&D 4e lecture upfront, and I didn’t have to, most players had either played it once before […]

Dwarven Dice from Q-Workshop
Q-Workshop is a company in Poland that I first heard about at GenCon this year and I was immediately impressed by the quality of the dice they had on display.
D&D 4e Ptolus: Chatty’s Demo Game
(This is the first post I write on my new mini-laptop that you all payed for by visiting this site, I thank you all!) Earlier this fall I attended a local gaming con called Draconis where I demoed a D&D adventure written by my friend Johenius. At the con, I met Erik, the owner […]
Monster Manual 2 – In Depth #5
Now that it is nearing the end of 2009, at long last I bring you my final in depth analysis of the Monster Manual 2 and the creatures contained therein. While the book has been out for half of a year now, I still have not gotten anywhere close to using even half of the monsters that are contained within.
Primal/Within: Showdown at the Castle of the Overmind, Part 3
Part 1 and Part 2. Last Friday’s session was the final confrontation of the campaign. It was supposed to be an Epic battle between an Avatar of the setting’s sentient Dungeon and the PCs. I had a game plan, but it didn’t play out as I wanted…again. The fight ended up being hard and climactic… […]
