Join us for a new 1974 Original Dungeons & Dragons campaign at @gamershaunt.bsky.social: "The Dungeon Games: Virtual Play 2045"

Medieval Times after MagicCon ATL!

Ladies Night at Last Light! 🥂

There are a lot of awesome, iconic swords in fantasy. Excalibur, Conan's Atlantean Sword, Andúril, Stormbringer... My favorite is the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane.

Lae'zel: Act 1 / Act 3 I like to keep Lae'zel in as much Githyanki gear as possible. By the end she's got the Psionic Ward Armor, Hr'a'cknir Bracers, Boots of Psionic Movement, Aberration Hunter's Amulet, Circlet of Psionic Revenge, Crossbow of Arcane Force, & the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane.

My Spelljammer collection is complete!

My ttrpg shelves

Imagine your life is so pathetic that you're mad about the Cracker Barrel logo.

I would love to see Dark Sun return. This is the first setting I ever played in as a player with AD&D 2e, and I would love to see it done well.

Here's a picture of @wizkids.bsky.social new Ancient Blue Dragon that's coming out. It looks absolutely tiny compared their red and white ancient dragons. I guess they're scaling everything down. That's probably good for affordability, but a shame that the ancient dragons cycle will be so lopsided.

Today it’s #NationalLeftHandersDay AND #wardukewednesday! So here’s to everyone’s favorite old school D&D southpaw!

My Spelljammer collection is soooo close to being complete!

I see people talk all the time about how 5e PCs are invincible. People say they've never seen a 5e PC die. That's crazy. I DM 5e a lot, and PCs die in every single campaign I run. Even at high levels.

Boulders are my favorite deck boxes, but if @ultimateguard.bsky.social is going to use AI art and support transphobes there are plenty of alternatives out there.

Githyanki art through the years.

Just started my 5th play through of BG3 yesterday as a Githyanki Bladesinger.

Hey @chrisperkinsdnd.bsky.social, can you answer a question about Spelljammer 5e lore if you have time? I'm confused about how Astral Elves & The Elven Imperial Navy fit together. They both use the same ships (even with different names, i.e., Man-O-War vs Star Moth). Is there any relationship?

Man I wish I could find a physical copy of this that didn't cost a kidney.

Reminds me very much of the Heroes' Lorebook art for AD&D 2e. I wonder if the callback was intentional.

This cover is sick! Always love seeing Minsc, and it's awesome seeing Karlach on the cover of a major @dndbeyond.com release!

A few years ago I made this video of tips for players coming to old school games from more modern TTRPGs. Check it out if you haven't. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XjH...

Apart from the three big AD&D 1e campaign settings (Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms) what are your favorite settings from 2e AD&D? Spelljammer? Dark Sun? Ravenloft? Birthright? Planescape?

Tired of your players asking to level up after every session? Try experience points instead! No more “mother may I?” with the DM! Want to level up? Then go get that bread.

My take on what OSR means

Lord of the Rings explained with chess

This is great video that explains the difference between modern and OSR games and why I prefer OSR games: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSce...

Things I’m changing for my 5e Spelljammer campaign: The Astral Sea is out and the Phlogiston and Crystal Spheres are in. Astral Elves are out and the Elven Imperial Navy is in. Using @jorphdan.bsky.social’s ship combat rules (link below). AMA

The Haunt is hiring an inventory specialist! If you’re detail-oriented, love Magic, and can sort, pull, and put away cards with Haste (get it?), please apply. We’re seeking someone for about 20 hrs/week in AM shifts. Send all resumes and inquiries to [email protected] or call us at 828-251-1500.

I feel the call to return to my roots.

"Provoke the blade and suffer its sting" is just D&D-speak for "fuck around and find out."

Let’s jam

Feeling the urge to run an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2e campaign

I wrote an #OSE point crawl dungeon based on the movie Legend (1985). It was a super fun #OSR writing exercise! You can check out the text draft via the link below:

Why does slavery elicit so much controversy in tabletop Dungeons & Dragons these days, while seemingly eliciting no controversy at all in Baldur's Gate 3, where it is also quite prominent? Fighting against slavers (an obvious evil) has always been part of D&D.

Back into the Lost Caverns Tsojcanth tonight in my wife’s Greyhawk campaign!

Last night the Gamers’ Haunt crew and family had a lovely evening at a dinner held to honor survivors and raise funds to support Our Voice and the incredible work they do helping victims of sexual assault and human trafficking in North Carolina.

As Lae'zel's biggest fan I recognize that all of her endings are evil. The Githyank are evil even without the Lich Queen, Vlaakith. Prince Orpheus doesn't oppose the original imperial ambitions of Mother Gith to enslave & plunder the worlds of the material plane. (1/2)

Lae'zel is the best character in Baldur's Gate 3
