After the magic trap had knocked us out, we were captured by a gnoll shaman – I can only describe him as monstrous. His clothes were decorated with bones and animal skins, his teeth were as sharp as knives. But the worst were the tools he prepared – thin, razor-sharp blades that made your blood … Weiterlesen
Found empty sleeping quarters in the next room. Where have the rest of the gnolls gone? Open door and… *boom* Trap …
We were able to overpower the gnoll guards. But the withered body in the cage awoke, broke out and attacked us … We just managed to smash it to pieces, but … the parts were still moving, crawling around … We stuffed them into a box and went further into the cave … There we … Weiterlesen
The winding climb up the rugged mountain trail had left us panting and sweating, our water supplies dangerously low. As we climbed the last rocky outcrop, the entrance to the old mineshaft loomed like a gaping maw in the craggy face of the mountain.

This blogpost was first published in German on January 26th, one day before the 5e SRD was put into creative commons. It took me longer to translate this one. I’m still working on the CCRPG, but now with a 5e CC-System, the roadmap could change a little. In this blog post, you will learn everything … Weiterlesen
At the edge of the river we found a small hut. An old lady greeted us kindly and offered us tea and herbs in exchange for a few stories. A very friendly lady and the chat was nice, even if I don’t remember exactly what we talked about. But I know it was very nice … Weiterlesen
As we embark on our journey northward along the river, we leave the trappings of civilization far behind us. The lush jungle surrounds us on both sides, its verdant foliage providing ample cover for all manner of dangerous creatures that call this place home. Though we manage to navigate its treacherous terrain with relative ease, … Weiterlesen
