Spelljammer! Part Two

Well hello there, space listeners! Space DM Conan (@Conan_Lybarian) let me in on a little secret: you can make anything fit Spelljammer if you throw “space” in front of it. Space hamster. Space castle. Space colonoscopy. Anything! He’s a remarkable man. Anyway! Thanks to both Conan and returning guest Eric (@ECrumrine) for hanging out with […]

HEROES OF TARA (D&D 5E): PART TWO

All good things must come to an end, and our stretch of Heroes of Tara content is no different. Don’t be sad that it’s over, be glad that Jake Duerksen is so incredibly generous with his time!

Breeze-through-Bare-Branches’ small, red eyes burned from the smoke. The air of the courtyard was thick with incense that clouded the mind as well as the air. He wanted to close his eyes. To lie down where he stood and let sleep take him. But he knew that even a blink in this place would bring […]

Isopodians (Pillbug Folk)

“So that’s it, huh?” Jek squinted at the impossibly tall, impossibly delicate crystal tower that stabbed a mile or more into the sky from the planes below. “It’s just a big building, Davian. Pretty, though. I guess. If you’re into that sort of thing. Anyway, what are we having for lunch? Do we have any […]

Melliferans (Bee-Folk)

Szz’an sat across from the elf, a cup of sweet wine in her hand and a bemused look on her insectoid face. “Wait,” she said, the word buzzing softly from her mouth. “Your how old?” The elf, Halian, smiled under his glass half-mask. “I am 344. No…346 years old. Does this surprise you?” Szz’an sat […]

The drow have been a mainstay for D&D games since they were first introduced in 1977 in Against the Giants.
