#phandelver and below: shattered obelisk

From my new Lost Mines of Phandelver Pack which is made to be compatible with my Phandelver and Below: Shattered Obelisk handout pack on Etsy.

My version of the Zhentarim crest. I like to make my own crests since obviously just straight ripping someone else's would be stealing. But also there are a ton of real world crests out there and I think when I use those as inspiration the crests end up looking a lot more medieval-y, which I think is cool

Got some D&D books for Christmas.

Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk (for the updated version of Lost Mine; I don't do mind flayer shit and it's why I will never play BG3)

The Game Master's Book of Villains, Minions, and their Tactics (Because I need to learn more about D&D tactics and how to actually challenge my players, some of these fucks are minmaxers)

The Game Master's Handbook of Proactive Roleplaying (Because some if not most of my players need that shit badly. And I need it too tbh)

What Do I Know About Reviews? Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk, Part Nine (D&D 5e)

The adventurers are going deep into the Far Realm, and I'm going deep into my nerdiness as we look at the final (adventure) chapter of Phandelver and Below. #DnD5e

Spoilers, at this point in the review? It’s more likely than you think. If you plan on playing in this campaign or want to be surprised, follow the hazing mists that leads you back to other articles on the site, then wander this way later on. This chapter made me very happy for a very specific reason that is probably very nerdy, but we’ll get to that. In this chapter, the player characters…

Phandelver and Below: the New Consent Issue.

Another Dungeons & Dragons book finds its way into the social media discourse around the topic of TTRPG Safety Tools. Is it a Public Relations stunt to keep the brand name in the mouths of the D&D community? Should a warning to players be "Required?"

This quote from the latest D&D adventure book, Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk. (Again, with the long titles, WotC? Really?!?) It’s causing a considerable stir in the D&D as well as the TTRPG communities in general because of a required warning to all players.I think this is just another stupid PR/marketing stunt to draw attention to the product in question while distracting fans from…
