Earth - The bizarre beasts living in Romania's poison cave In the south-east of Romania, in Constanța county close to the Black Sea and the Bulgarian border, there lies a barren featureless plain. The desolate field is completely unremarkable, except for one thing. Below it lies a cave that has remained isolated for 5.5 million years. While our ape-like ancestors were coming down from the trees and evolving into modern humans, the inhabitants of this cave were cut off from the rest of the planet. Despite a complete absence of light and a poisonous atmosphere, the cave is crawling with life. In 1986, workers in communist Romania were testing the ground to see if it was suitable for a power plant, when they stumbled across the Movile Cave. To enter, you must first be lowered by rope 20m down a narrow shaft dug into the ground Since then the cave has remained sealed by the Romanian authorities. This is partly because the journey into the cave is extremely hazardous. In the lake room, the atmosphere is heavy with harmful gases

Fuck Yeah Character Development - characterdesigninspiration: Quite a few people... Archetypes Revisited: Burned-Out Mage, 5e style | The Sixth(and a half) World Way back in SR1, there was a Burned out Mage archetype. He was pretty awesome in a weird way. Poor guy burned out most of his magical ability on cyber, and this guy’s itching for some Focus addiction as well(which, well, he has.) It may not be the most powerful Archetype in the world but damned if it wasn’t something different and original. Sadly, due to how 5e’s rules work, he can only know his Magic x2 in spells, or 4 spells, which sort of takes away some of the oomph the old Archetype had(who had a ton of spells that he was terrible at casting.)

Writing Exercises and Prompts What I Learned Running D&D 5e from Level 1 to 20: Sly Flourish by Mike Shea on 4 April 2016 Since the release of the 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons I have had the opportunity to run a full campaign spanning levels 1 to 20. During this campaign, we ran through the two Tyranny of Dragons adventures, Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat and extended beyond the Sword Coast into the depths of the Nine Hells where our heroes cut down tremendous foes, including a few from Kobold Press's upcoming Tome of Beasts. This experience gave us a wide-ranging view of D&D 5e, a better view than we had when 5e was first released. Recapturing the Feeling of Dungeons and Dragons A lot has been said about 5e's return to "traditional" D&D. Even after a full year running the game from 1 to 20, it's a joy to pull out the Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, and the Monster Manual and just get down to playing Dungeons and Dragons. The Death of Superman In D&D 5e, PCs are no longer superheros, they're back to being adventurers. Power Spikes and Sharp Edges
