Fifth Element Part 4

There's a really interesting challenge in these types of episodes in adding interesting side-content without feeling like I'm guiding the players down a garden path. It's a lot easier in episodes w...

Fifth Element Part 3

Having hyper powerful characters on your team can make balancing encounters wildly difficult. But don't be afraid to, as long as there are multiple story-telling elements to play with. That's what ...

Jumping back into the world of Charlie Brown. No eldritch horrors last time, but I'm not letting my guard down on that account.
