Favorite Legendary Lessons Articles

Legendary Lessons is an ongoing series of Dungeon Master (DM), Game Master (GM), World Master (WM), and Player or Player Character (PC) centric advice articles bolstered and livened by tales and tips from my home games. This series kickstarted the site and was inspired by the legendary Chris Perkins column called the Dungeon Master Experience.

Favorite Musing Over Monsters Articles

Musing Over Monsters is a constantly growing series of monster dissection and discussion posts delving into various creature history, current opinions on them, exciting new uses for them, and beyond. The latest batch of MoM articles fixate on crossing monsters with typical playable classes like Barbarians, Bards, and more.

Favorite Worldforge Articles

Worldforge is a trailblazing series of worldbuilding discussions and concept posts that wander the unlimited universe that is making your own setting. Usually, the articles use my homegrown world of Eldar and its two primary continents, Aelonis and Golgifell, as examples. Sometimes, established Dungeons & Dragons settings like Eberron, the Forgotten Realms, and Exandria feature prominently.

As always, thanks for reading. Please send all inquiries to rjd20writes@gmail.com.
