  • Aboleth Mage
    Tuesday, 15 November 2016 Monster: Aboleth Mage Monster: Aboleth Mage For completeness' sake let's convert the aboleth mage, presented in Monster Manual. The aboleths are psionic creatures, but Monster Manual was released before Expanded Psionics Handbook, and I think this is why there was an "improved" monster included. This monster is based on the aboleth racial template from this post and uses Sorcery for its magical abilities. If I recall correctly, Lords of Madness mentions the aboleths use their special glyph magic, which I probably will try to represent later as an alphabet for Symbol magic. Typical Stats – Aboleth Mage ST: 36 (KYOS: 30) HP: 41 (KYOS: 37) Speed: 6.5 DX: 11 Will: 15 Move: 2 ground, 6 water IQ: 15 Per: 15 HT: 15 FP: 20 SM: +3 Dodge: 9 Parry: N/A DR: 3 (7 with Armor 2) Bite (11): 2d-2 cutting (KYOS: 3d-3 cutting). Reach C. Tentacle (11): 4d-2 crushing (KYOS: 5d+1 crushing) + follow-up 1d corrosion (10 1-minute cycles, HT-3 resist). Reach C. 1-3. Being moistened with cool, fresh water negates cycle damage. Using the follow-up damage costs 1 FP. Mucus Cloud (HT): Any creature that makes skin-to-skin contact with the aboleth must make a successful HT roll or lose the ability to breathe air and gain that ability to breathe water for a number of minutes equal to the margin of failure. Using this ability costs 1 FP. Wall of Ectoplasm (7): The aboleth can create a wall of ectoplasm of any shape it chooses in any place within 100 yards.

The material contained herein has three purposes: (1) to speed combat by eliminating the need to flip back and forth between pages within the same book, (2) to organize the information about the reinforcement movements of creatures within the Sunless Citadel, and (3) to apply monster variants and adjustments to save you the time of having to do this yourself. The game is better when combat is organized, exciting, and quick. More dice rolling, less page flipping!

    Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] .

  • Projecting Into the World of Dungeons and Dragons
    Projecting Into The World Of Dungeons And Dragons ALEX DECKNADEL WR 122, Fall 2019 Introduction Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is a roleplaying game that relies on the “theater of ​ ​ ​ the mind,” or imagination. It is a well-renowned game that is not often discussed in the context of a discourse community because it is a game played by small groups of people. Because players must communicate with one another throughout the game, D&D is a ​ ​ game of rhetoric as much as it is a game of imagination. Players have to think and act as the characters they have created when playing D&D. It has been noted previously by Dr. ​ ​ Wayne D. Blackmon, in a case report titled “Dungeons and Dragons: The Use of a Fantasy Game in the Psychotherapeutic Treatment of a Young Adult,” that one of his patients played D&D and states, “Players are encouraged to become their characters in ​ ​ ​ ​ the course of the game . .” (Blackmon 629). While this is certainly true to people who play D&D, there is a lingering question: how does a player project themselves as a ​ ​ character in D&D? I aim to answer this question in the context of discourse communities, ​ ​ focusing on rhetoric and language more than writing, although writing is still involved. I argue in this essay, through the research I have done, that a player can project Unbound ⃒ Spring 2020 ​ themselves in D&D by creating, or using, a character, in order to interact with other ​ ​ characters, and utilizing various lexis to interact with other players.
