DC's The New Age of Heroes continues as Shane reviews The Silencer #1. Is it DC's take on the Punisher as some have speculated, or does the character and story take a different direction? Plus: a surprise appearance (in more ways than one) by a major DC villain. Find out what Shane thought of this ...
Beholder fight in Karazikar's Maw (the Vast Oblivium)! Before that: eyes in the dark and messages to King Bruenor. This part of the book really needs some maps and diagrams, WotC! But hey, feel free to ask a question about them bridges and this zany DM will make up an answer on the spot, baby. ...
The Worm Nursery concludes. It's almost as if hanging around a place where purple worms protect their eggs might be dangerous. Saliva and guano in copious amounts. Sideswiped by a natural freight train. The mechanics of reading Vizeran's mad book on magic. The actual rules for harvesting poison from a creature (and what it sells ...
The Worm Nursery continues. Be quiet or you'll make momma mad. Purple worm milking for fun and profit. Are you sure you want to check a book out from this library? Chasm crossing 101. This place really needs a Terminex inspection. Do all combat spells require you to see your target? The finer points of ...
The Valley of Dead Heroes continues as the Phoenix rises (sort of), we learn about a tantalizing new metal from a forgetful trader, buy some sweet loot, and finally enter the Necropolis only to interrupt some... aggressive negotiations.

More info on the Wand of Limited, Vengeancy Underdark Teleportation. Modifying the house rule on spell components. A 1 in 400 dice roll. How exactly would one mock a giant worm, anyway? ...
Damage #1 review and initial thoughts on DC's The New Age of Heroes (AKA "DC's Marvel characters"). Is DC doing too much at once with Rebirth, Doomsday Clock and now the New Age of DC Heroes? What did Shane think of Damage #1? BONUS: What's the terrific surprise Shane found at the end of the ...
The Worm Nursery. Egg theft for fun and profit. Friendly drow are still basically jerks. The warlock's rash action continues to be a diplomatic migraine for Bruenor and it's not getting any better. Be careful with that silence spell. Help action clarification. Player responsibility for XP tracking and miniature placement. Minor metagaming allowed in a ...
We finish the Ancient Tomb and follow Tartuccio's trail to the Old Sycamore. Kobolds and mites don't like each other. Will-o'-wisps are kind of tough (no wonder, they're CR 6 and my party is level 2). Thylacines aren't (no wonder, they're CR 1/2).
