Hey Dungeon Masters, here's a mostly unedited, unvarnished overview of creating a sandbox or hexcrawl map for a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. This is a video of the preliminary steps, in which I select a starting area and populate it with a starting town and some initial intresting locations to explore. If you like this and would like me to delve deeper into this kind of creation, let me know by giving this a thumbs up and leaving a note in the comments.

If you have any ideas for this campaign area, let me know! I've linked to the map below.

Hey Dungeon Masters, sorry for the delay. Let's talk about generating world events for Dungeons & Dragons (or any RPG) using Rory's Story Cubes or the Mythic GM Emulator. Use either one or both of them together to create random events to populate world, ask and answer fiction questons, or fill in gaps in time "back at the ranch" while the party is off adventuring.

This isn't about whether to powergame or not or whether powergaming is bad or not. I see and read and hear a lot of powergamers and their proponents looking at the game from a singular perspective. I want to open up discussion about a different perspective, one that might explain why not everyone is onboard with the powergaming mentality in their Dungeons & Dragons game.

Happy Fourth of July! I sit in the woods and blather a bit about envisioning D&D wilderness without the colonial baggage of the wild frontier approach, as the unlit pools of wild in a points of light style hexcrawl campaign.

Hey Dungeon Masters, dealing with player character class abilities in a hex crawl (or anywhere else in your Dungeons & Dragons campaign) can be tough. Let me help walk through a few options and ideas for how to work with these abilities rather than against them.
