Talysman of The Nine and Thirty Kingdoms offers up a very fairy take on goblins, and one that cleaves closely to how they are in my gameworld.
Peter of Dungeon Fantastic addresses the same issue in his post on the problem of orc kids.
And Paul over at Blog of Holding takes on kobold ecology.
Brock Cusick from The Tombs of Akrasia discusses the Orcs of his world. They're cauldron born!
The New Big Dragon over at Save Vs. Dragon has put together what I think is a really useful PDF with all the treasure types from the different early editions of D&D (Oe, 1e, BX or HB).
And speaking of PDFs, ever wonder what to do with them? If you're like me, you like having the dead tree version of your books. You don't have to go through Lulu to get it done, you can do it yourself in softcover or hardcover.
Those book binding links are rather cool. I just keep mine in 3-ring binders.
ReplyDeleteI do too, but I've bee tempted to try my hand at this.
