When I’m not making sure my children don’t wander into some danger like the worst SIMS characters, I’m trying to make sure my job doesn’t explode in a fiery mess that makes international news. In short, as much as I love carving out a few hours to roll some dice, […]

Of course you have. Now imagine that the magic spell you misread was a real thing. What exactly would it look like? Well, it might look something like this. Misread Magic #1 looks at Fronds, Magic Mussel, and Musty Step.

(Not to be confused with Eberron’s doppelganger-like race.) Today I’m continuing with the Courtly Ward and the Forlorn. The Courtly Ward is the inverse of the Captive – still unable to leave, but showered with riches and privilege in the court of the Highlords rather than toiling away. The Forlorn has experienced the wonders […]

Tribality is now a threenager. It’s that time where we test boundaries, drive our parents crazy, and throw the concept of naps to the floor while kicking and screaming. Okay – maybe that isn’t true for the rest of the Tribality staff, and I am just projecting. Regardless, this month we honor Tribality’s third anniversary by focusing on the threes. First on the Performance Check docket is a return to the “Get to Know” series to discuss […]

I’ll be presenting six new Backgrounds. As they’re explicitly tied to fey magic, I’m looking for new and different things to do with each Background’s Feature, which may rankle the sensibilities of some.

There's just a few little problems. First off, the Archfey Patron is not in the OGL, and I don't really want to deal with the DM's Guild for this (for a whole set of reasons that I'm not going into here). Secondly, I don't actually like several features of the Archfey Patron, as I have discussed at length in the past. My solution is to create a new warlock patron called the Fey Highlord, serving the same story role but with a different set of mythic themes.
