Barghests

In this monster episode Hannah and myself are looking at the deadly lupine shapeshifters known as Barghests.

Goblins

In this Friend or Foe Friday episode, Hannah and myself look at those grubby, green malcontents the goblins.

Did you know there are games other than D&D?

In this episode myself and Hannah are having a quick chat about a number of articles I’ve read recently concerning games other than D&D.

Aboleth

In this episode we’re discussing the evil Aboleth, a slimy aquatic aberration with a memory stretching back to the dawn of time and a yearning to reclaim lost glories.

Inspired by a recent Session Zero-centric episode of The Redcaps Podcast that I listened to, I decided to post the audio from the session 0 of our recently started White Star campaign Damascus Sector. We focus mostly on getting people introduced, fleshing out some of the background, genning characters and getting people used to FoundryVTT.

Fiend Folio Troll Variants

In this episode, myself and Hannah are looking at the Troll variants found in the 1st Edition AD&D Fiend Folio.

Svirfneblin

In this episode we’re taking a look at the avarous and isolationist Deep Gnomes, and how they’ve change through the editions of D&D.

Sentient Swords

In this episode we’re delving into the idea of sentient swords and other items as featured in Old-school Essentials.

The Sons of Kyuss

Wriggling out of their graves eager to spread death and despair the Sons of Kyuss are a particularly unpleasant, infectious type of undead.

Eldritch Tales Feat System

I had the good fortune to play in a session of Eldritch Tales (a White Box game of Lovecraftian Horror) run by the author Joe Salvador, organised by Colin Green of the Spikepit podcast and featuring a number of OSR Anchorite luminaries; whilst playing it I was reminded how much I enjoyed the feat system in the game and started to think that it could very easily be imported into other old-school D&D style games.
