For the last week, we've been posting about how to deal with #WritersBlock. What worked for Ken? A two-day backpacking trip through the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Forest fires ravaged the area a few years ago.
The pines survived, and there was plenty of new ground growth. It provided a ton of inspiration for Ken's #ElementalApocalypse campaign.
Working on my #ElementalApocalypse campaign, which mostly consists of me running from the first to the third floor and back again to get more monster books.
The Helm of Positivity came into play during tonight's #ElementalApocalypse game, in which the paladin Valinor summoned a wall of radiance.
And damn, is that thing bright or what?
The shadows I'd planned to ambush the party with were forced to retreat from the brilliant light, which also revealed their original corpses in the nearby lake.
Those corpses - nicely pickled - led the group to suspect there is a black dragon lair nearby. #DnD#DnD5e#TTRPG#RPG#Greyhawk
After a long weekend of camping, hiking, and driving with the scouts, I'm relaxing by doing a little campaign maintenance for #ElementalApocalypse and checking out #DeliciousinDungeon.
Thinking of creating a regional map (Yeomanry, Hold of the Sea Princes, Keoland, Sterich, Geoff) for my #ElementalApocalpyse campaign using Inkarnate instead of Worldography.
I like Worldographer, but I feel like I'm spending more time futzing with the interface than I am building out the map (making me less likely to actually build out the map)..
So ... I'll try Inkarnate instead (as it has a bunch of assets for overland maps).
Normally, I might just use a pre-made version of the Oerth map, but this is #ElementalApocalypse - the world is in a BAD WAY and the map needs to reflect that (more volcanos, drowned coastlines, more wastelands, etc.).
Time for more #ElementalApocalypse. The Heroes are continuing their trek through the foul Hool Wastes in search of an angel who fell to Oerth. #DnD#DnD5e
Finally got to introduce my players to their new ally ... a colossal mimic who colonized a cave system.
The mimic previously ingested a high-level gnome illusionist, which had given rise to certain unexpected enhancements as the two personalities merged. It used a combination of physical traps (created by its duergar servants), illusions, and sculpting its own mass to test the characters.
I think it was just the right kind of weird for the #ElementalApocalypse campaign.
Spending a not-so-lazy afternoon working on my #ElementalApocalypse campaign for #DnD. The Heroes of Hope are battling their way through corrupt Hool Wastes, fighting demons, undead, and worse.
Naturally, I need to find a few more enemies for them to fight. Good thing I brought a few books... #Greyhawk#DnD5e#TTRPG
Time for more Elemental Apocalypse as our heroes head into the Hool Wastes. Not sure if we'll end up using this battlemap, which was an experiment in quickly drawing a map for the game. It took about ... 15 minutes? Maybe 30? #ElementalApocalypse
I'm also working on an "intro to Inkarnate dungeon design" for @lairofsecrets, partly because it's cool, but mostly so I remember how I did this. #Maps#TTRPG
I may spend most of my time working on destroying Greyhawk with the #ElementalApocalypse campaign, but that doesn't mean I don't care about it's history :)
Time for the #ElementalApocalpyse! Our heroes are chasing after an angel who fell to Oerth after he and his comrades fought airborne demons ... and lost.
