DnDChick's Realm

I have been informed that the girl up there holding up my title resembles me. That’s why I’m using the graphic. Don’t believe what you hear though, because I don’t have the body for a mini-dress like that! ;)



Some Things I Am Working On

Arcanum D20 Conversion Fan Site
This is a site I was working on with Jeff 'Colonel Hardisson' Black. In the mid-80's, Bard Games produced a wonderful game set in the ancient world before Atlantis sank. Called The Atlantean Trilogy, it was comprised of three main books: The Arcanum, The Bestiary, and The Lexicon. Inspired by my memories of this great setting and the recent D20 revolution, I set out to make an Arcanum D20 fan site. On the site, you will find notes on how to reflect the many Arcanum professions with Dungeons and Dragons classes, a few new classes, and conversions of many of the original monsters from the setting. Note that in order to get the true spirit of this excellent campaign setting, you will need to get a copy of at least The Bestiary (for complete monster descriptions) and The Lexicon (for the kingdoms and maps). UPDATE: Now that Morrigan Press has released Atlantis, The Second Age, I have removed this content. Morrigan did not ask me to remove it, but I felt I should out of consideration.

Call of Cthulhu D20/D20 Modern/True20
There were a few great old favorites (or is that Great Old One favorites?) from the Chaosium version of Call of Cthulhu that weren’t in Call of Cthulhu D20 (Note: The license Wizards of the Coast had with Chaosium to produce Cthulhu d20 has expired. They have removed their Cthulhu website and all of its content). I worked up conversions of some Cthulhu monsters, and posted them here. On this page you will also find a vile selection of original creatures culled from the depths of insanity.

Here also you will find Dr. Phibes and the Addams Family (all of them!) rolled up for use as NPCs in Call of Cthulhu d20, D20 Modern, and True20. If you use them, send me feedback on how things went!

Monsters for Mongoose Publishing
In 2001, I made my first foray into d20 monster-making through Mongoose Publishing. I wrote several monsters for them for two books, Necromancy: From Beyond the Grave and Seas of Blood: Fantasy on the High Seas. Both of those books were published under the 3.0 edition rules of “our favorite game,” so within the last few months I have updated them to be compatible with the latest edition.

Critical Effects
This page presents a way to include serious trauma, severed limbs, and 'instant kills' in a D20 game but all the while maintaining simplicity and balance. So far, response to my Critical Effects charts has been good.

Furries and Fantasy: The World of Fauna
The world of Fauna is one of my homebrew settings. None of the standard "Dungeons and Dragons" races appear in Fauna. All of the characters are anthropomorphic animals, also lovingly referred to as "furries" by fans of such things. I am slowly tinkering with making up Fauna as a stand-alone campaign setting with its own maps, kingdoms, and history.



Some Links

True20
In the past year or so, I've sort of become more of a "True20 Chick" than a "DnDChick." True20 is a "rules-light" version of d20 produced by Green Ronin Publishing. True20 uses the familar d20 rules set, but has an entirely different take on character creation, magic, and combat. It's generic enough to be usable in just about any genre, but simple enough to keep play fun and interesting.

THE Creature Catalog
An EnWorld website that hosts hundreds of monster conversions from previous editions of Dungeons and Dragons. Hosted by Scott Greene, Boz, and me! Many of the conversions from the Creature Catalog have been published by Necromancer Games in the Tome of Horrors. Check it out!

The D20SRD
This is the Open Gaming Foundation’s System Reference Document for the D20 system.

The Dungeons and Dragons Website
By Wizards of the Coast!

EN World
Is it pronounced "N" World, or "E-N" World? Who knows … who cares? ENWorld is a huge D20 community of which I am proud to be a part! Come on over, join the forums, join the fun!

Mongoose Publishing
The first D20publisher ever to comprehend the greatness of yours truly, and publish some of her work! All kidding aside this is an excellent British D20publisher with products that are getting rave reviews over at ENWorld. I am proud to have been counted among their stable of contributing authors.

Necromancer Games
Necromancer Games is a D20publisher with the motto "3rd edition rules, 1st edition feel." Their adventures and sourcebooks hearken back to the style of the 'glory days' of Advanced Dungeons and Dragonssome 20-odd years ago. Many of the conversions from the Creature Catalog have been published by Necromancer Games in the Tome of Horrors.

BOZ's Lame-O Cheapie Website
Boz is the Boz-man, one of the co-authors and monster-converting experts who helped out on the Creature Catalog and the Tome of Horrors.

Golden City Comics
GCC is a game and comics shop in Toronto, Canada. They aren'tmy "FLGS," but I did promise them a link. :)



My Game Campaign Journals


I like to keep track of my game sessions in on-line journals. The journals not only helps me kep various plot-lines straight, they also make for fun reading for myself, my players, and others. Current campaignts are listed first, followed by the journals for campaigns that have ended.

Skull and Bones Campaign Journal (True20, Current)
Skull and Bones is a campaign set in the Caribbean circa 1685. Characters are newly signed-on crew of the Scavenger’s Daughter, a privateersman based in Port Royal, British Jamaica. This is a game of swashbuckling adventure on the high seas.

Wilderlands Campaign Journal (D&D 3.5e, Current)
A brave band of caravan travelers find danger and adventure along the Old South Road on their way to the City State of the Invincible Overlord.

eco Campaign Journal (True20, Ended)
eco is a different kind of RPG. Rather than delving into lost dungeons, crossing the vast emptiness of space or stopping dangerous foreign spies, players in eco take on the roll of ordinary animals. Well, not quite ordinary. The PCs of eco are Aware, granted sentience and an ability to learn far beyond normal animals.

Lord of the Rings Campaign Journal (Lord of the Rings RPG, Ended)
Set in the late Third Age 10 years before the War of the Ring. A brave band of adventurers, sent by Elrond, scour the face of Middle-earth to discover the secret of the foul sorcerer Carangul the Red.

Star Wars: The Dark Times Campaign Journal (Star Wars d20, Ended)
Set about a year after the end of Episode III, my campaign will detail the adventures of an intrepid band of youngsters on the loose in the galaxy during the rise of the Empire. The characters are all 2nd level, some are Jedi, some are crewmen of the freighter Radiant Dawn.

The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh: The Next Generation Campaign Journal (D&D 3.5e, Ended)
On a whim, I decided to make the long drive back up to my old stomping grounds to run a one-off D&D game with some of my old Lord of the Rings group. I have a 3.5e “conversion document” for the old Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh adventure, and I am going to put them through it.
