Ed’s giant fleas

October 6, 2018Zoltar Leave a comment

He brought dragons to their knees
Defeated demons shaped like giant fleas
Shattered guardians made of ice
Disassembled flesh golems, twice
O, he’s the hero bright in yore
But of nights, he’s old and sore

What book is this? i really need to buy it Heh. Just doggerel of mine, tweeted daily. I may collect the epic fantasy tweets in a book, just for fun…
The Stormtalons Whispers are daily news and rumors from the Stormtalons setting, which will be relaunched when ready…

When the queen lies awake
With worries she’d rather slake
She calls for the royal adventurers three
And sets them a quest
So she may then serenely rest
Knowing they’re not raging through the realm wicked and free

Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage, the 320-page companion to Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, went to the printer today. Having lived in Waterdeep for over a year now, I can’t recommend it enough. Come for the hospitality, stay for the adventure. #wotcstaff pic.twitter.com/ZAb3b6O5Gs

“What? There are adventuring schools?”

October 6, 2018Zoltar Leave a comment

Above this haunted hill the starlight is still
All is drenched in cold bone-white
I draw near in the chill, awaiting the thrill
Of beloved vampire’s next loving bite

3)
“How do I AVOID a sword that can pass right through me?”
“Stay at home and don’t go adventuring. Stay out of haunted castles like this one. Wear holy armor. Don’t they teach ye ANYTHING at adventuring school, these days?” “What? There are adventuring schools?”
“How else did ye end up here? We’re nine days out from the city, remember? Ye didn’t just get lost in an alley and end up here!”
“Well, no, but…”#epic fantasy

4)
“But smile for the nice ghost, and mayhap it won’t cleave ye right away. Use that there diplomacy.”
“What’s that?”
“Lying prettily before ye take to yer heels and RUN!!! Like this, see?”#epic fantasy

Noanar’s Hold and the Hunt Lords: wizards, anti-party or wights?

October 5, 2018Zoltar Leave a comment

My SKT group has come to Noanar’s Hold. Looking at previous editions, the Hunt Lords started out as “lazy wizards” in 2e, evolved into a sinister anti-party with a mix of class levels in 3e, before being reduced to 200 yo wights in 5e. Which version do you prefer? Depends on what Realmsdate your campaign is set. :} BTW, the wight versions are eager to use novice adventurers as a "front" to hide behind, whilst they evaluate possibly dangerous new arrivals. So you COULD use all three at once! Or in succession… ;}

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 2, 2018

I’ve set my campaign in the 5e era, but I’m thinking that five vanilla wights is a little boring given the hype. I’m contemplating making them stronger wights with some spellcasting ability.

Any thoughts on what precipitated the change from all wizards to a variety of classes? The Hunt Lords took casualties, and decided to recruit replacements of different classes. (I always play undead to the full limits of their intelligence, whatever it may be, so they have plans and goals in their "unlife," too…)

I have a ranger: why not give a third attack at some level (higher than 11)?

I have a ranger ?: why not give a third attack at some level (higher than 11)? that would add DPR without discounting fighter, who gets that 4 APR at 20th. I see hitting 3 or 4 attacks to be a fighter thing, would rather boost damage elsewhere for the class
