"You shall not pass!" Gandalf facing the balrog is one of my favorite moments in a fantasy movie. A hero facing an overwhelming evil and ultimately laying down his life to save the rest of the party. But it's not a situation I'd typically
Eberron FAQ
I'm working on a post about Phoenix for next week, but today I'm going to address a few more questions about the planes of Eberron. Like much about the planes, most of these topics have no answers in canon material, so what you're dealing

I've spent the last six weeks traveling the US in a van to demo my card game Illimat, and that's meant that I haven't had much time for writing. I have three big articles I'm working on for the website, but they&
Eberron FAQ
Recently I've started a Patreon to help me justify spending more time on this site. The full Dragonmark/Imperial Dispatch articles take a significant amount of time and there's a limit on how often I can post one of those, but I want to post more
Eberron FAQ
Over on my Twitter (@HellcowKeith) I received a question that seemed worthy of a more-than-140-character response. Demon Wastes vs Mournland: what are the key differences? When would I choose to set an adventure in either one? Both have similar elements: magical wasteland, "edge of the world" vs "
