Curious Item Club: Pan's Mask

This mask is carved from a pale wood, although under moonlight it seems to glow with a faint, mossy green light. To casual inspection it obviously depicts a faun, but a Knowledge (religion) check (DC 12) will note the distinctive scar on its left cheek signifying that this is, in fact, the mischievous god Pan. (The wound being t...

Curious Item Club - Biosphere Boulders

Seven large boulders hang suspended in mid-air. Upon each boulder (in a full 360 degrees) is a tiny, unique biosphere.

First Boulder: Covered in a bioluminescent fungus that reacts to the proximity of life by changing color and pattern.

Second Boulder: Covered in short-cropped ghost gr...

Star Wars: Force and Destiny - System Cheat Sheet (Early Access)

I'm guessing most of the Early Access patrons are long-time readers of the Alexandrian, so you're probably familiar with the system cheat sheets I put together for the games I run and play. (If you're not, the attached PDF of notes will explain it.)

You're getting some extra stuff with this one: A version of the original ...

Violet Spiral Gambit - Node 1: Eschaton Electronics

So here's what's going on with The Violet Spiral Gambit: For purposes of navigation on the Alexandrian, it makes sense to make each Node an individual post. This also means that the scenario is going to be serialized over the course of seven days.

But some of the nodes are quite short and it would be a rip-off to charge m...

Violet Spiral Gambit - Launch Point: The House

The Strange - Violet Spiral Gambit (Early Access)

I have a friend who wanted to take the plunge into GMing. At her request, I designed this scenario for her to run as a maiden voyage.

Whether you're a first-time GM or a long-time veteran, though, I think you'll enjoy it.

(It includes 9 props.)

Some Random Musings

Those of you follow me on twitter (@hexcrawl) may have noticed me grouse a couple of of days ago about trying to bash something out quickly and then accidentally discovering that I had written Part 6 of a 30,000 word essay series.

... yeah, I was talking about content for the Alexandrian.
