Delta’s D&D Hotspot revisits the falling wars, and provides a surprising bit of information about the lethality of falling.
- Helter Skelter
- In the city of sin is a gambling house that was when the world began. In a lost alley is a door behind a door and within it a deck of cards and fortune’s wheel. Upon the deck are forgotten gods; upon the wheel the world rests.
- The House of Lisport
- A brutal family murder left Lisport Manor empty and the town of Lisport undefended in the great war. Today the last holding of the Earl of Lisport is Lisport House, an inn in the bustling and dangerous gambling town of Fork.
- Illustrious Castle
- The Order of Illustration once guarded remote Biblyon. Today, Illustrious Castle is deserted, long-since looted of anything valuable. For second to third level characters.
- In Defense of the One-Minute Round

I’ve just put up a new version of the Highland guidebook, with all-new maps. The new maps are Inkscape svg files, just filled with nutritious layers.

- This dungeon crawl is suitable for three to six characters of first to third level. This is the basic adventure that Charlotte, Gralen, Sam, and Will went through in The Order of the Astronomers.
- New, improved Haunted Castle!
-
I’ve finally converted Haunted Illustrious Castle to the new format, which means much more useful PDFs and map files.
- Old School Cool
- Since I first made Gods & Monsters public over ten years ago, there’s been a groundswell of support for “old-school” D&D games. Since Gods & Monsters is compatible with adventures for original D&D and AD&D, it’s also compatible with adventures for most of these new games.
- Order of the Astronomers
- Follow the adventures of Sam Stevens, Gralen Noslen, Will Stratford, and Charlotte Kordé as they delve into the abandoned castle of the Order of the Astronomers. Start here if you’re new to the game or to role-playing games in general.
- Pocket Gods & Monsters
- Quick access to common tables from the Gods & Monsters rulebook. This is an HTML 5 web app, so it should work on any iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. It’s set up as an off-line app, so you should be able to bookmark it and then use it on your laptop or mobile device even when you don’t have network access.
- The Road
- It begins with a grass-covered path flanked by flowering trees. The red road is cracked and dusty. Strange creatures scurry from shadow to shadow in the hot sun. The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, corruption beckons, and death waits in the sere ground. But why think about that when all the golden land’s ahead of you and all kinds of unforeseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you're alive to see?

-
“I am a golden god.” Well, a golden hero, anyway. But you’re a golden hero subject to the whims of unknown sorcerors. The Golden Servant is the perfect specialty species for the sporadic player.
- Was table-top gaming inevitable?
-
Gods & Monsters rolls an 18 for age today, pioneer game writer Greg Stafford died two weeks ago, and stories about the early days of gaming has me wondering, was the discovery of table-top gaming a perfect storm, or was it inevitable?
- Welcome to the new Biblyon Broadsheet!
- I’m moving the Biblyon Broadsheet into a more versatile CMS.
- Xel-i-tec
- This short adventure for first to third level characters takes place in a decaying empire, under siege by creatures of all kinds overrunning its borders, and unfolding from within as strife consumes the ruling class.

Journey deep into abandoned castles, solve intricate puzzles, fight strange creatures, and wield arcane power. Like the adventurers of old in Egypt, you will delve into long forgotten tombs, but in your adventures magic will fuel danger and creatures of myth will stalk the darkness. You will search uncharted wilderness for lost knowledge and hidden treasure. Where the hand-scrawled sign warns “beyond here lie dragons,” your stories begin. (Jerry Stratton)
