Into the Lair of the Slobbertooth Kobolds - A One Page Dungeon Submission!

Hail, Cromrades! Looking for a quick bit of fun around the game table? Well, you're in luck! Below is Luke's submission to this year's One Page Dungeon contest. This 'Borderlands' mini-module is system-agnostic, and is designed to be a fun little romp. If you're the DM for this one, try your hardest to make the Kobolds sheisty little boogers that rely upon the traps, their pets, and the environs!

If you have an idea yourself, submit it to this year's contest before May 1st! Entering is free, and past years' submissions are collected and available via Shattered Pike Studio. These past compendiums are chock full of ideas, and you absolutely can't beat 'em!

Season 6, Episode 6: The Sunken Land and Seven Black Priests


Welcome back and well met, Cromrades! The journey down The Road to Lankhmar continues, and this week we dive into another pair of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd & The Gray Mouser stories: The Sunken Land, and The Seven Black Priests.
We are inching closer and closer to Lankhmar! 
One Things
Jon: Amalgam Comics. A mish-mash of DC and Marvel characters, published in the 90's! (Superman + Captain America = Super Soldier).
Josh: Home brewing! Started with a brew from Northern Brewer, but now we're on to brewing mead! Specifically, Joe's Ancient Orange Mead. Materials can be gathered fairly inexpensively. Here's the recipe! If you give it a shot, let us know!
Luke: Making that bread and taking your taste buds on the highway to Flavortown! You want some french toast that will ? You need a bread maker, and you'll have to search the archives of Pinterest for the most legit recipe!

Next time: The Bourbon & Barbarians adventure continues! Then: Fritz Leiber's Claws From the Night and The Price of Pain-Ease

We are inching closer and closer to Lankhmar!
