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

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. In these posts I’ll give a rundown of what these rules are, why they where

Playing DnD 5e

There hasn’t been much time for board games these last few weeks, even though regulations here in Norway are pretty much back to normal as the coronavirus has been beaten down. I have had the pleasure of playing on the updated version of Eclipse: Second Dawn of the Galaxy (ending dead last). This post however

Kingmaker session XXXIV: No combat, just exploring

We have been fairly active on Roll20 these last few weeks player RPG, but only some of the time have been spent on our ongoing Pathfinder campaign as we also have tried playing some DnD 5th edition.

Kingmaker Session XXXIII: Mopping up the swamp

Last Thursday we returned to our Pathfinder campaign, a bit different with a week between seasons instead of a couple of months. The session was one part kingdom building and one part stand-alone encounters as we mopped up the remain threats that was linked to book 4. 1st of Kuthona As the winter has truly
