A Magical City Guard Force

What does a guard force look like when it has to cope with high-level spellcasting and magical monsters? Here's my suggestion.

Religion at the D&D Table in Practice

In an earlier post, I talked about why you should include religion in your campaign, and reviewed Eventyr Games’ publication “Devotion and Divinity”, and then in the next two posts I described two different sets of religion notes I prepared for my campaigns, first my Karameikos campaign, and then my current campaign in Akorros.

As I mentioned, I’m participating in this year’s WorldAnvil Summer Camp, and they’ve already published the copper, silver and gold prompts, with the platinum ones to come later today (as I write).
