Temple of Elemental Evil Campaign Resources

Hello all, I have recently started a 5E Temple of Elemental Evil campaign using OAR6. I am generating some of my own campaign resources for this campaign, and am sharing them on my blog. My latest post includes an updated 1 Mile Per Hex map of the Environs of Hommlet and Nulb; a link to my Elemental...

Map of the Northlands of Aereth, the DCC Known Realms

Back in early 2018 I started working on a campaign for the Known Realms of Aereth, the campaign setting for the original 3E Dungeon Crawl Classics line. Being me, of course, the first thing I had to do was set up a Hexographer map of the Northlands; nine maps, each hex 25 miles across, covering pret...

Re: What are your top 10 DCC third-party products?

Hey all, I came to this folder to post exactly this same question! Can we get some updates? It's been several years since the majority of the lists were made, and I know a bunch of stuff has come out since then. What is the new hotness? What are the classics that have held up to the test of time? Wh...

Re: Aerth setting form DCC #35 relevant to DCC RPG adventure

Aereth certainly can be used as the backdrop for most of the DCC RPG DCC modules, just as it was the backdrop for the original 3E DCC modules (both pre and post Gazetteer). Here is a link to where the original DCC modules were all placed. Here is a link to my post wherein I placed many of the origin...

Re: Race separate from Class
