We’re now on the penultimate Sphere of Influence post. Tomorrow will mark both the final Sphere of Influence post and a full three months of daily activity for this blog.
Sphere of Influence: Misty Forest
More than halfway done with Sphere of Influence now.
Sphere of Influence: Waterdeep
If you want your city to be more famous than this one, you need to get golden age Bioware to make a game set there. We’re going to Waterdeep.
Sphere of Influence: Silverymoon
The quotes for this series come from party members from a Hoard of the Dragon Queen game I ran. A few of them come from Langdedrosa Cyanwrath, a character that the party liked so much they recruited him.
Sphere of Influence: Neverwinter
EDIT: It has come to my attention that there is a quest in the Neverwinter MMORPG that is called “Sphere of Influence.” This blog post has nothing to do with that quest. Sorry.
This is all copied straight from the text I submitted to the DM’s Guild. You can find Sphere of Influence there for pay what you want. This is why the font is all weird. EDIT: Also, since switching the blog to a new style, the font is not only weird, but nearly unreadable. Fixing the font makes the formatting go berserk for reasons I can’t immediately identify, so, fuck it, I’m leaving it. This post is only popular because of people mistakenly clicking on it hoping for information on that MMO quest anyway. If you really want the text, you can buy Sphere of Influence for pay-what-you-want off of the DMs Guild.
Sphere of Influence: Introduction
Every time I think I’ve found the bottom of my vault, I remember I have more stuff crammed into the corners. So here’s some more of my old work.
A Shiverpeaks Bestiary, Part 4
Returning to the Shiverpeaks for our first look at the Stone Summit, maniacal dwarven zealots Hellbent on enslaving basically everything.
The Spectral Bride
This visit to Vestitas is another ghost story. The river between Grey Harbour and Brandt’s Landing is just lousy with ghosts.
The Hunter
I’m kind of setting myself up for failure in the long run with all these encounters. Sooner or later I’ll have nothing left to make but stats, and those take me longer than encounters.
A Brief Overview of D&D Settings
In the 5e Dungeon Master’s Guide, the various D&D settings released over the years were consolidated down to a list of seven. The only one to receive official support is the Forgotten Realms, but the inclusion of the other six suggests some degree of official recognition above and beyond the dozens of other settings that have been included under the D&D brand at various points (fun fact: The exhaustive list of all settings included under the D&D brand at some point includes Azeroth, the World of Warcraft, which received an official Wizards of the Coast d20 adaptation back when “juggernaut” was too feeble a term to describe their dominance over the MMORPG market). This post is going to include a one paragraph explanation of each of these seven settings.
