The Kingdom of Silks is a well-ordered society on the whole, where etiquette and poise are paramount. Many different schools of philosophical thought contend for commercial and mystic authority, but overall the society has advanced beyond inter-faction violence. Arcane and psionic pursuits are what define the Kingdom, and the advances and conveniences these studies have […]
Loyalist Goblins Midway between the merciless tyranny of the Despots and the unthinking violence of the Savages, the Loyalists are goblinoids whose only desire is to maintain the stability of the Tran Empire until such time as a dwarven authority can be re-established. This attitude is perceived as stagnant and traitorous by both Savages and […]
I couldn’t resist the perfect straight-man comment on my last Tinderbox post; to whit, how nice it was to see goblins who weren’t “filth-encrusted cave beasties with bone clubs.” The Savage Goblins are filthy monsters who wield crude weapons, often constructed from the corpses of their foes.

I’m going to be previewing some of the factions from Tinderbox/Lockout and, since the following was the only faction the original party encountered, I thought it would be appropriate to start here. I’d post up some statblocks, but I’ve yet to find a good, Mac-friendly utility for generating them in 4e form. Might play around […]

I ported some of the racial stuff over from another campaign I wrote, specifically the coloration of the dragonborn and the orcish feats. I’m not […]
Eventually I’ll have flavor text for all of this, but I started writing individual, kingdom-specific flavor for each class and nearly blacked out. Most of the racial abilities were wholly off the cuff (feats too) so I don’t know exactly where they fit in terms of balance. Goblins and bugbears stand to receive some special […]
Drawing up my map for the city of Placeholder, I knew that I wanted a larger number of zones than The Angry DM’s example area, but I only added approximately 50% more than his purposefully small example presented. Even sitting at a mere 14 zones I’m still intimidated by the prospect of statting everything up, […]
>Infused with energy after completing my master’s degree, excitement over some new things I’ve read in DnD (both recently, and all the way back to when Krahulik started his sandbox game), and the endless restless hunger that constantly has me switching my entertainments, I’m starting up a campaign. I’m going to resurrect one of the […]
