All the Adventures Published in Dragon Magazine - Sorted by issue

Image
If anyone is interested in joining me on my stupid journey to check out the adventures published in Dragon magazine, I've created a chart. Sorry it's not nicer, I'm bad at technology and this is already a endeavor without me learning html.  Shout outs to DragonDex for creating the original list . All I did was fiddle around with it a bit in excel to sort it by "location" (issue number). I am trusting that whoever compiled this list didn't miss anything. But so far, when it comes to meticulously documenting fantasy nonsense, hobbyists have not led me astray. This was prompted by me asking the Canonfire Discord for good low-level, vanilla fantasy/Greyhawk adventures. A user suggested Citadel by the Sea from Dragon #78. I was vaguely aware that there were adventures in Dragon Magazine but didn't know there were this many, and more importantly that some of them weren't horrible trad slogs (most of them are though). I'll definitely be plonking this some...

My two page adventure site: Sarkaasa’s Lair

Image
Below is the submission I made to the Adventure Site competition. Feel free to use this however you see fit. If you run it or do something else fun with it, let me know! In retrospect I feel like I probably should have specified that it's designed with B/X in mind. But it is what it is. The seed idea for the adventure was to flesh out some parts of the under-explored Berghof region of Greyhawk. In UK3 The Gauntlet there is a Berghof village called Gannaway, that is destroyed by gnolls. This adventure site is the outpost that the gnolls form about 6 months prior to invading Gannaway (for the Greyhawk heads: this is set in pre-war Berghof). I plan to also create the village itself - which was never detailed - and to create a sort of timeline of how the outpost grows and changes as the gnolls become more certain that they will invade. But I think this is a decent first draft. Feedback welcome! Sarkaasa’s Lair An adventure for 4–6 players of level 2–3 The Scrying Six moons from now the...

My contribution to the Antarctic Adventure Jam - Part 1

I've been participating in Idraluna Archive 's Antarctic Adventure Jam . Idraluna used some clever mapping tools to turn the irl continent of Antarctica into a 6 mile-hex map. They then simulated a more moderate climate for the continent and then - using probabilities- generated hex conditions based on that. I hope I didn't totally butcher the methodology just then. Regardless, the output is extremely cool.  Now a bunch of people are populating the hexes using a variety of OSR systems. I've carved out a small patch for myself as well. I don't think the hexes are quite ready to share but I thought I'd write up a general overview for my own process. As someone who generally finds lore dumps to be extremely boring to read, I'll acknowledge that this is a fairly self indulgent exercise. But hey it's a blog. The area contains two peoples, the Ksouthern (I believe that is the term for it - because when you think about it... Everywhere is "nor...
