Art by @symatt on Twitter.

This post was originally going to be a submission to Kobold Quarterly. The Midgard Bestiary for 4E contained wonderful monsters that can threaten the lives of adventurers but like most 4E monsters, they are usually dealt with quickly. This article discusses parasites, tiny creatures that make up for their diminutive size by being a lingering …

The last product that I contributed to for the 4e Midgard Kickstarter is available to buy on RPGNow for only $2.99 / £1.95. It already has a 5 star review and even though I may be biased I think 12 interesting fun monsters for such a small amount of cash is definitely value for money. …

A Midgard Elementalist causing trouble

The start of the year kicked off with a bit of a bang here at DailyEncounter towers. I finally got my copy of the Midgard Bestiary for 4E and was pleasantly surprised to see Rob Heinsoo had included my single contribution in his introduction to the book! Defenders of Midgard was released which ObsidianCrane (John) …

It is a Bestiary for 4E, containing 150 monsters, including classic monsters from the Midgard campaign world from …

Medusa with her dice

As you likely know Mike Mearl’s brought up the dreaded save or die mechanic on the Legends & Lore column this week. This article gives the thoughts of @paulbaalham and @obsidiancrane about this matter. Save or have no fun? The classic argument against save or die is that save or die effects are not fun. …

HelmOfOrcusSkull

The cacophony of noise seemed somehow to be more deafening because the battle was raging at night. The clash of blades and the anguished screams of pain filled the air, as the adventurers hacked their way through zombies, skeletons and wraiths to get closer to their goal: Orcus. Eventually the avdenturers and their henchman got …
