Holy crap.


Holy crap. Sakatha is, in fact, a great lizard king. Tomb of the Lizard King is deadly but the rewards are freaking amazing. Anyone run this one?

    Whoah, never heard of it, but from that alone it sounds like a perfect thing to throw into my current D&D campaign. What's the story? Is this a published module or something?

    Spoilers.....








    Sakatha is a freakin' vampire wizard lizard man with a pet black dragon and a dungeon full of nasty henchman and evil clerics. Magic items are all over. There's a couple of huge spellbooks. A dragon hoard AND Sakatha's hoard. But man, you'll need some good play to defeat all that.

    This sounds perfect. Oh man.

    So in one of the old Palladium Fantasy First Ed books (specifically Island at the Edge of the World) was this mini-encounter with a character named Selsesstissan, who was a semi-immortal Life Force Wizard (mage) from long, long ago when he race wasn't the primitive thing it is today. The players can wake him and possibly set forth a new age of gromek conquering. They also had these ancient long-dead guys called Lizard Mages, who were, like, The Shit at magic or something.

    My current OD&D campaign involves the colonization of a new continent, and the exploration of these ancient fairly alien-looking ruins. Essentially, the old lizard empire from many centuries ago. This Lizard King tomb would make a nice addition.

    And I'm totally adding this to my Against the Giants campaign. The swamp can be the Rushmoors south of the Dim Forest between Sterich and Gran March. Excellent. My players have been whining about lack of treasure (good naturedly). They want treasure, I'll give them treasure. And a stream of black dragon acid to the face.

    Nathanael Cole the pdf isn't hard to find. I don't think this one is on dndclassics.com yet.

    Ok, Richard G, had to think about that for a minute. +1 for you.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

Life is short and unfair.

Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
