This is how I D&D
Magical weapons in Dungeons & Dragons are mostly meh.
Sure, there is the occasional flaming brand, or luck blade, but for the most part they are +1, +2, or +3 weapons and not much else.
And that’s kind of boring.

To take a break from Dungeons & Dragons, and fantasy in general, I have been reading a lot of old Traveller rules and putting together some resources and ideas to run a solo campaign in that universe.
Having gathered all this material, I wanted to share what I have found in case you, too wanted to get into some Traveller – solo – or otherwise.
Below are four resources I have found that have been immensely helpful to me so far.
One thing I want to do more of on the site is to include links to stuff I find really interesting that isn’t really known by most in the TTRPG community (although, your mileage may vary).
One cool item I came across recently is the city of Irilian.

Issue 53 of my Dungeons and Dragons zine, d12 Monthly, is out! This one is all about monsters.
It focuses on beasts and magical beasts and lists information you won’t find in most other bestiaries: habit and lairs, diet and hunting, life and behaviour, culture and myth, encounters, and ecology and impact.
Issue 53 is the Bestiary (Beasts & Magical Beasts) issue. It features articles on:

One of the biggest challenges in solo roleplaying – especially in an old-school Dungeons & Dragons style game – is deciding what your sessions are about.
Without a GM guiding the flow, you, as the lone player, get to decide which aspects of the game world deserve the spotlight.
This is one of the great strengths of solo roleplaying: you get to decide what you want to do.
And while this freedom is powerful, it can also feel overwhelming as you end up having too much to choose from.

After having reached 50 issues (51 actually, as I started with issue 0) of my d12 Monthly Dungeons & Dragons zine, I thought it might be a good idea to let gamers know a few ways they can use them.
When I started my zine project, I never really thought about getting to 50 issues – I just kept writing and publishing them. Before I knew it, I had released 10, then 20, and then 40 – and all of a sudden I was thinking about what to put into issue 50.
Issue 50 of my Dungeons and Dragons zine, d12 Monthly, is out! This one goes back to my roleplaying roots, back to when I didn’t have anyone I knew who played TTRPGs.

Over the last few weeks I have been running a 2-player Dungeons & Dragons campaign using Old School Essentials (OSE) as the rule set.
I wasn’t sure if so few players would have an impact on the campaign – I mean, most D&D campaigns have 4-6 players.
But it’s been a blast!
