Traps are probably the second most iconic feature of RPG dungeons—right after monsters. And yet, despite their reputation, they’re often the most poorly used. Many RPG rulebooks suggest resolving traps through a simple dice roll or a skill check. Instead of a challenge, it’s a coin toss – taking something that should be interesting and exciting and turning it into a random punishment for bad luck. Even when […]

In the first edition of Dungeons and Dragons, players could acquire experience points from collecting treasure, and when I first heard of this I instantly fell in love with the idea. It looked like an easy way to instill some more inherent value to non-magical treasure, as well as ensure non-combat focused players always had a way of getting experience. The thing […]

This week, we have a guest post from Mark Compton looking at the Thunder Rift setting. While stumbling through the internet a few years back, I happened upon Tribality. More specifically I happened upon Shawn Ellsworth’s article about running a Nentir Vale campaign for 5th Edition.

NPC’s get a bad rap. At best, they’re quest-givers with funny voices. At worst, they’re annoying exposition mouthpieces that don’t even give a decent amount of XP if you kill them. This column aims to change that. That’s why it’s called Everything NPC’s. Over the course of this column, I plan to explore every aspect of making our NPC’s better. That includes characterization, […]
