All That Glitters Is...A Dragon

“If gold rusts, what then can iron do?”
- Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales

I got these off of ebay a month or so ago, yet because I didn't see my friend for that long, I wasn't able to get them. I wanted to share them with all of you, especially after posting about Genkar. Is there a connection? Maybe.....


This gold dragon is medium size. Not a huge dragon, but still pretty cool.

Seven Questions with Teos Abadia

"This bleak wasteland is Athas, and it is my home." - The Wanderer's Journal, Dark Sun Campaign Setting To some, he is the ultimate leader of the Veiled Alliance. Others say he means to overthrow the Dragon of Tyr. Still others insist he is the only true master of the Way. A fourth group's tales say he is the only person to have survived all the dangers of the Sea of Silt. Myself? I believe he's all four. Teos Abadia, known to many as Alphastream in the D&D Community, agreed to answer a few questions for me about his own games and experiences in the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons. Teos Abadia I was able to meet Teos at Gen Con 2012 at the Wizards of the Coast Freelance Writer Seminar. I knew going into the seminar that many different authors and freelancers would be there, and I was excited to finally meet some of the people that I had chatted with on Twitter 160 characters at a time. When the seminar was starting,...

D&DNext and the Despair Deck

"Fear attracts the fearful." - Darth Maul In May of 2011 (which seems like forever ago), Wizards of the Coast released a 4th Edition supplement entitled The Shadowfell: Gloomwrought and Beyond . One of the coolest things to come in the box set was a deck of 30 cards called the Despair Deck. The deck, to quote from the campaign guide, "represents the unnatural behaviors and neuroses that can come over those who visit the Shadowfell." I would like to that statement one step farther and say that the deck represents behaviors and neuroses that come over those who visit any place of horror. Flipping through the deck, the cards are separated into three main categories: Fear, Apathy, and Madness. Such traits create good roleplaying opportunities, as well as further demonstrating the horrors that adventurers face on a regular basis. I thought the Despair Deck was a great addition to special encounters and events for D&D, and I've re...

Revisiting the Trinket Lord

As I’ve gone back to dive into the options that are 4e D&D, I took another hard look at something near and dear to my heart: my 4e published article, The Trinket Lord. Published in Dungeon 205 (August 2012), it was another article in the Court of Stars series about the Archfey. With GenCon 2017 occurring right now, I figured it's a good time to talk about such things again. I had always found the Court of Stars articles extremely intriguing and full of adventure hooks, but when I pitched this article, only two existed, The Prince of Frost (Dragon 374) and the Bramble Queen (Dungeon 185). The Trinket Lord was originally pitched back in April 2012, when WotC accepted article submissions for their Dragon and Dungeon magazines. My contact for the entire process was Greg Bilsland (which was a major “whoa!” moment for me). I consider my relatively short interactions with Greg to have been extremely insightful, as he gave me a good mix of compliments and critiques and helped me ...
