Watch my latest video, "DM Tips: Designing a Random Encounter System for your Dungeons & Dragons Hexcrawl", at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPu-YERDkHg --~-- A quick look at the excellent Lamentations of the Flame Princess book, Broodmother Skyfortress. I keep it mostly spoiler free-- I don't think I mention anything that isn't given away in the cover art but, still, you've been warned.
During my marathon pointcrawl across the country, I had a Gamemastering epiphany: everything should have a cost!

Alignment languages are often brought up as slightly strange, awkward vestigial bits from the oldest versions of D&D. Well, in my last gaming session, I brought it out of mothballs and deployed it as a campaign tool. I brought this up in my last recap but I thought it was worth discussing on its own merits (or lack thereof!). Have you used alignment languages in your game? Why or why not?
NOTE: I goofed, there actually is an alignment language for Neutral, my bad!

I'm going to try my hand at the Fill the Hex Jam! Besides just something to do, it will give me a chance to play around with some hex stocking tables I've written. So let's stock up some hexes!

The other day I stumbled across a small game called "Pyrrhic Weaselry, or At What Cost?" that features a compromise mechanic that spoke to me. Let's give it a read, sort it out, and see how we might deploy it in our own games!

This is an excerpt from a longer stream that took a look at various topics percolating in the OSR reddit-sphere. Which classic module would you choose as a first adventure for an ex-5E D&D group? My pick was Keep on the Borderlands. Which one is your choice and why?
