Instead of suggesting levels, I decided to roll a d20 to come up with the level I'll do. I got 5th.
So that's out of the way. But what should the theme be? Give me your wildest ideas for a theme based on "maze of the storm lady."
Also, dang watabou... not much of a maze with only 9 rooms, is it? Gonna have to figu...

This week, I'll start working on a cool adventure with Tom Gibbons (@TomCartos) that takes place in a medieval museum. One of the big set pieces in this adventure is a large triceratops skeleton in the west wing of the museum.

Hey all!
Some folks ask about what I do at my day job. I write for a tech company that creates software for e-commerce sellers. Just this week, I started a series that shares the steps I took in building DMDave and everything else tied into that. While it's not my typical content here on DMDave, I figured I might as wel...

Mindscrew warlocks—they call themselves patchheads, blankies, or whateverlocks—are insane. Or brilliant. Neither. And both.

Conveniently, it's also request Tuesday. So what sort of requests would you like to see made?

I love hex-crawl exploration in Fifth Edition. It's a lot cooler when both the players and the Gm have no idea what's in store. I had kinda a cool idea recently (well, cool to me at least) where Abby didn't have a set map. But instead, you can only reveal what's on the hex you're on. There'll be points of interest, etc., but ...

Fifth Edition has a lot of cool elements to it that GMs can use: combat, exploration, and, of course, plenty of role play. These are often considered the four pillars of a tabletop RPG. However, I believe that there is a fourth that's just as important: problem solving and critical thinking. And it is arguably the most diffic...

The Serpent Men are humanoid reptiles who possess the head of a snake.
