A Playlist of D&D-inspired Songs

Sometimes, I will pop in my CD of these and sing along, waiting for ... I don't know, inspiration or at least a sense of escape. There are literally dozens, if not hundreds, more but these are some of my go-to tracks. Enjoy!


Never Split the Party - I always enjoy the El Dorado, Last Airbender, and Mummy clips...


So many versions of this on YouTube, decided to go with the one from the album...


My four year old son lives this. He obviously doesn't get the double extended but he keeps asking for the "loud song".


Grim but upbeat!





No real commentary here but I like the clip from Dorkness Rising at the end.


I feel the pain here... so many dead PCs over the years...


Yeeaahhh!!!


If you think your group doesn't have a "George", you may be him...

🐦 Government Spy Drone Program (Birds Aren't Real) 🐦

Image
On Earth-218 , S.H.I.E.L.D. has been exterminating birds and replacing them with highly sophisticated robots for decades . These robots are nearly indistinguishable from actual birds and are used to secretly conduct surveillance on the country's citizens. These drones are modelled after the most prevalent bird found in the area where they are to be deployed - most often pigeons in urban areas. Government Spy Drone (a.k.a. Pigeon-bot) CR: 1/2     Tiny Construct     HD: 1d10     Hp: 5 Init +2     Spd: 10', fly 40' (ave)     AC: 14 (+2 size, +2 Dex), t: 14, ff: 12 BAB +0/Grap -13; +4 Claws: 1d2-5 SA: - - SQ: Construct traits, Self-Destruct Align: N     Saves: Fort +0, Ref +2, Will +2 Str: 1, Dex: 15, Con: - -, Int: - -, Wis: 14, Cha: 6 Skills: Disguise +8 (to appear as a normal bird), Listen +6, Spot +6 Feats: Weapon Finesse (b) Gear: Integrated Camera with Thermographic and Low-Light Capabili

Osse - The Forgotten Continent of the Forgotten Realms

Image
Osse is one least detailed continents of the Forgotten Realms.   There is almost no canon information regarding it or its inhabitants.   Even the Forgotten Realms wiki has little to say about this Australian-analog. So, of course, my players will be going there eventually .   I sat down with what little information I had and began fleshing out ideas for what I feel should be there.   It isn’t far from Kara-Tur and that got me to thinking about Monster Island from the old Godzilla movies so I decided that Osse must be the spawning ground for Kaiju.   There is also no equivalent (at last not really) for the myths of Atlantis so I made the interior of the continent home to my own version of that as well.   This is what I came up with. Capital: None Population: 711,813 (68% Ossean Human, 22% Poseidian Human, 4% Lizardfolk, 3% Aarakocra, 1% Mountain Dwarf, 1% Shoal Halfling) Government: City-States, Tribes Religion: Jazirian (also known as the Rainbow Serpent), Bahloo (Sel

Equestrian Bugbear

This beast looks like a large, six-limbed black and white bear with translucent insect wings sprouting from its shoulders and glowing red eyes.  Its fur has colored striations like that of a bee and a wicked stinger in place of a tail.

The Goodfeathers

Image
A pair of pigeons had built a nest for themselves on the ductwork above the back door at my new job. Something (or maybe someone) had dragged the nest out and destroyed the eggs within. The pigeons were understandably upset by this turn of events and took to divebombing passersby in an ultimately futile act of defiance and/or revenge. This reminded me of this dude I used to work with. He was Obsessed with pigeons...well, maybe not Obsessed but he certainly spent a lot of time talking about them and would, on occasion, wax philosophical about them and posit that perhaps pigeons were secretly super-intelligent and only pretend to be dumb to further whatever incomprehensible yet nefarious schemes they have in motion. And all of THAT got me to thinking about Bobby, Pesto, and Squit - the Goodfeathers and the topic of today's post.

The Squirrel Index

Image
“Frankly, the Number One threat experienced to date by the U.S. electrical grid is squirrels.”                                                                 - John C. Inglis (former Deputy Director NSA – 2015)   The Squirrel Index (TSqI) measures damage to the power grid caused by squirrels. Yes.   This is a real thing.   While surfing YouTube the other day, I came across this video detailing the Squirrel Index. I was immediately fascinated and, being me, began thinking about how I could incorporate something like this into my D&D campaign .   The most straightforward way I could come up with involved a modern, comic book-based setting where a villainous superhuman with the ability to command and control squirrels would hire him or herself out as a “domestic terrorist” to criminal organizations, using furry rodent minions to cripple electrical substations, thus powering down security systems and the like so these criminals could then rob, loot, or other

Beldam (Other Mother from Coraline)

Image
I watched the movie “ Coraline ” for the first time this weekend.   Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen snippets of the film here and there over the years and I recognized the character when the movie started but I have never sat down and Watched the movie (or read the book).   By the time the show was over, I have to admit that I was fascinated by the entire thing.   The animation and pacing were incredibly well done and the main antagonist was delightfully wicked.   This is who I want to focus on today – Beldam, a.k.a. the Other Mother.   Some viewers may think that she was some sort of demon, offering children their heart’s desire in exchange for their souls, much like a crossroads demon but I feel like she more closely resembles a faerie, a member of the Unseelie Court who is allowed a great deal of independence in her operations.   I also think that since the protagonist, Coraline, was just a child that Beldam wouldn’t necessarily have been overly powerful, holding a relatively low
