A Bit Ptoo Much Ptolus for your Ptaste? Well Ptough!

Forgive me or not, but I am focused quite heavily on my current campaign set in Monte Cook's Ptolus: City By The Spire. Obsessed you might say. I am taking the opportunity to include on the blog plenty of ideas for other Ptolus DMs as repayment and paying it forward for the many cool ideas they have made available for others like myself to use. 

Fear not, there will be other non-Ptolus posts appearing here as well. 

There will be some posts coming up about miniatures, reviews of books that can be useful for your game, old school spells, magic items both old school and for 5e, monsters both old school and new, journals from other campaigns, props and terrain pieces, and sometimes some non-d&d related subjects.

I considered putting a to-do list up showing planned posts, but things change far too frequently for that to remain on target. There are however a growing stack of gaming books on my desk that need reading and those will certainly get a mention when completed.

So there we have it. There will be plenty of variety to look forward to. 

This post is not a Ptroll.

Prop Dusting - a hint of things to come

Over time I have been collecting props and other items for use in the game and along with the Dwarven Forge terrain. Now that the table is here, these things will be brought out for play and will be displayed here as well.

The items today are just a hint of things to come . . .

The boat, sea-serpent parts, and the water tile are just a few of the things purchased from Yan Solo. Yan Solo can be located with a Google search and has a personal store and also lists things on Ebay.

The water tile is 25.5" by just over 19.5"

The materials used to create the water effect are fragile. In the picture above it is complete, however in the time it took for me to put it back in its protective sleeve, the corner chipped exposing the white backing. The water tile is expensive for what it is made of, thus this is the only water tile I will buy. Yan Solo's other items appear somewhat hardier, though they too should be treated carefully.
