News, nostalgia and nonsense concerning all things Dungeons & Dragons
especially the World of Greyhawk Setting.
Welcome in faithful readers. Yes, it is time again to follow the mad escapades of the Cultists of Tharizdun. If you are an acolyte of the Dark One, then check the links out below for more of their zany adventures. Today we look in on the popularity of the brethern's chief rivals, the Cult of Vecna. Destroying the world may be their number one goal, but a close second is being the most notorious cult in the Flanaess. Look on and enjoy!
Well met Greyhawkers! I have another installment of the short story, Under for your reading pleasure. Follow the links below to catch up on the whole story thus far. Last episode I introduced some new characters, a trio of evil UnderOerth denizens menacing a captive female elf. Let's see how that is going...and enjoy?
Welcome in, readers! This is the continuation of the Saga of Valkaun Dain, the greatest hero of all my 2E Monty Haul campaign. To read about his previous exploits follow the navigation links below. Anyone who has ran or played D&D, (especially a published adventure module of any edition) knows that a dungeon map in a printed book must conform the dimensions of the page (or a poster). The mightiest mega-dungeons are definitely held to this law of fantasy physics. A side effect of these margined maps is that an experienced dungeoneer like Valkaun here, will start to deduce things even an astute elven mage like his friend Mortellan cannot accept. Valkaun will not be deterred, however. See what I mean. Enjoy!
Welcome, welcome! Hello, those new to the blog. You're all in luck today because I have another Cultist strip for your entertainment. Follow the links below for more Tharizdun antics. Today's subject is one I've mulled over for years. How to make a sphere of annihilation funny. Then I realized I need to think more like our two Tharizdunites below, and eureka an idea finally hit me. Check it out and enjoy!
Well met heroes! I have returned with a new subplot in my ongoing short story, UNDER. When last you read this series the main characters vanished (maybe teleported). Now the actions cuts to some new, possibly more evil denizens of the Underdark. You be the judge (see if you can identify their type too). Enjoy!
Welcome in readers! Those who have followed the Saga of Valkaun Dain know by now he is a real character from my 2E campaign 30 years ago. Now in the present he is a tall-tale, a legend of high-fantasy, sort of like the Kraken! What happens when two legends meet? Release the Kraken and enjoy!
Howdy friends! Good news! I have a new Cultists comic to throw your way. I've recently been a roll lately with Tharizdun in my comics and at my home game. I find it interesting that WotC has adapted or rehashed damn near every classic Greyhawk module except one in particular. Too edgy for 5E I guess? Meanwhile the Cultists continue their work unabated. Check it out and enjoy!
Welcome back to a new installment of my serial short story, Under. When last we saw the denizens they had sneaked into the cellar of a tavern in Nulb where they uncovered a cryptic megalith that the tavern was built over. Follow the links before for the rest of the story. What comes next? Check it out. Enjoy!
Well met Greyfolk! It's time for a new tale from the ongoing Saga of Valkaun Dain. Follow the links below to be regaled with his epic stories of Monty Haul 2E barbarian adventure! This week is a story that I'm sure is common among long-time D&D gamers. When you get too rich to tote all that coinage we turn to gems. Then the most mundane downtime activities get out of hand. Enjoy!
Welcome back Greyhawkers! It's been a while since I featured Tasha (Iggwilv) on the blog and that's because her show was running ahead of schedule from my other stuff. However, going forward Tasha will indeed be sidelined so I can focus more on the Cultists and my short story Under. Let's see how well she takes the sudden hiatus. Enjoy!
Welcome back Greyhawk fanatics! You know the drill, it's time for another Cultists episode. This one may be familiar to those who remember last time. That's because crazy cultists do crazy things. Go back and read it again before you take in this one, trust me. Enjoy!
Greetings fellow Greyhawkers! This week is a new installment of my ongoing serial, Under. New readers, check the links below to read the story from the start. When last we saw the denizens of the underdark they had snuck into the cellar of an inn in the notorious village of Nulb. Why? Well, it has something to do with that standing stone its built over, but first, a diversion. Enjoy!
Well met Greyhawkers! I am back with a new chapter in the ongoing Saga of Valkaun Dain. If you haven't seen his previous adventures, check out the links below. Valkaun has fought many monsters in his career, but I don't know how many hydras he actually killed. One is enough for most heroes, right? Also, bonus XP for anyone who recognizes the wizard in this comic. Enjoy!
Welcome back to another mind-numbing episode of Cultists! It never ceases to amaze me how much Tharizdun lore I can find throughout published D&D history. Today's nugget of evil is from 5E Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. In the monster section, Star Spawn, there is some nasty powers you can give to cultists of elder evils such as Big T. Needless to say, the Cultists will never run out of new powers to exploit on their way to destroying Oerth. Enjoy!
Well met travelers! If you're catching up check the links below. To summarize, our denizens of the Under-Oerth have somehow made it from the Kron Hills to the infamous village of Nulb in the Gnarley Forest. They've already hiked past the Temple of Elemental Evil so where are they trying to get to? The basement of some notable inn of course! The plot thickens...enjoy!
Welcome back Grey-readers! If you are new follow the links below. Just to recap my friend Jayson's character, Valkaun Dain was the epitome of heroes in our 2E campaign. Valkaun's story continues to unfold in this mythical saga. Today's chapter is a formative one because he did get his scale armor through hard work. He would continue to wear this unique armor through much of his career until it was taken away one adventure. Naturally, he had a back-up set of armor but a different color in their museum/armory. Gotta love Monty Hall games!
