Homebrew rules part III: Lingering injuries and natural healing

Let us dwell further into the homebrew rules for my ongoing Storm King’s Thunder D&D 5e campaign. Last time I wrote about our modified critical hit rules, so it’s only fitting that I’ll write about injuries this time. Combat is an essential part of any D&D campaign, and is easily the most complex part of

Homebrew rules part II: critical hits and fumbles

Let’s continue going through the homebrew rules I currently use in my Storm King’s Thunder DnD 5e campaign. Today we’ll look at critical hits, as well as critical fumbles.

Storm King’s Thunder: Homebrew rules part I

Let’s talk about homebrew rules! I’ve recently started a new campaign using the D&D 5e system. As usual I’ve proposed various homebrew rules for the campaign, and we’ve decided on quite a few small and big tweaks to the game.

Avenue 5 & Upload – are they worth a watch?

More Dungeondraft maps

I’ve playing around some more with Dungeondraft, and this has resulted in a couple of more pretty generic maps (they just might turn up in my upcoming D&D campaign).

Testing Dungeondraft

Most of the big blockbuster movies have been pushed back to the autumn or next year (Disney’s remake of Mulan is the first “big movie” to return to the silver screen with an August debut).
