We invited some of the most creative game designers working today to create adventures that would define the Midgard setting, with locations that range from the magic-warped West to the gloriously savage eastern steppes. And […]

Back on June 10th, the Deep Magic Kickstarter began its interesting and rather spectacular adventure into the realms of Pathfinder magic. As of this writing, it’s nearly at 1,000 percent of its original funding goal. That means that this is going to happen—this project is already funded. And it’s going to happen BIG because of

Master the secrets of the Hellborn…if you dare! More than 2,000 years ago, Caelmarath’s most ambitious spellcasters entered into dark pacts with certain denizens of the Eleven Hells. In exchange for magical prowess they coupled with hellish beings, ensuring their bloodlines would forever carry a fiendish taint. The scions of these unions were known as

For me, magic was all about the handwaving. Unsurprisingly, I spent a lot of time as the DM.

The second stretch goal for the Deep Magic Kickstarter is Labyrinth Magic. A few notes from the designer about this style of magic: Minotaurs have always been one of my favorite monsters in the game, but the one problem is that mazes are actually quite tedious to explore. When Wolfgang asked me to write some

Today has been one of those dream days. The moment before go-time is always a little anxious. I hit the button on the project at 6:30 a.m. and said, “I sure hope everyone loves spellbooks as much as I do.” An hour later, the doubts were gone. Your support for the Deep Magic Kickstarter has been incredible!

In 1884, Edwin Abbott wrote a novella called Flatland, and a hundred years later, I read it with delight. The novella’s characters are squares and triangles, sliding around a two-dimensional world called Flatland.

Today the Deep Magic Kickstarter launches. It’s pretty much my dream project for RPG crunch, which is to say: it’s all about the fire spells, baby! I’ve always loved wizards and clerics, and nothing makes me happier than fireballs coming online, that flame strike spell hitting, or (if I’m feeling especially sneaky) casting the fire
