Berghawk play report 14/05/2026

I'll keep this one so short. The Stone Smashers toasted the cultists of Vecna with their fireball wand. A decisive victory. Much XP was earned as this was a campaign goal (and we're awarding feats of exploration 3D6DTL-style). They made it back to Chiswell with no further interruptions.

 The only question that remains is: how many charges are left on that Wand of Fireball?!

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...

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...

Berghof (Greyhawk) play report 22/04/26

The gang (who are currently debating whether they should keep the name "Stone Smashers" or pivot to "The Punishers" - due to the high volume of puns) planned to ambush the followers of Vecna on their way to the human sacrifice at Vecna's hidden temple. But first they had to deal with the morale of their retainers, who just yesterday witnessed the death of the well loved retainer Loradil. Bilbur the Dwarf and David the Torch Bearer both decided to stay after a well placed motivational talk from Roland and Stern respectively, but Magnus was not able to convince his retainer Arnie to stay on. Arnie told the Magic User Magnus to "gif zem haiiil" before disappearing into the night. The party found some healing herbs and set up camp. The next morning, the party crossed the Hool River and scouted the terrain surrounding the temple of Vecna to find the best spot for an ambush. They searched a dormant volcano crater, which now housed a small forest and rain wat...
