Creepy Kraken Time!
For Hallowe’en this year, we are releasing the Kraken on two thematically-appropriate maps released in the last year.
First we have the classic haunted house – Blackhall Haunt.
Blackhall Haunt
About 40 minutes upriver from Kreland’s Ford is the old Blackhall. Sitting on a small hill, now nearly overgrown with brush and trees, the squat stone house has been abandoned for at least a decade, and is of course said to be haunted by the ghost of the previous owner who was slain in his sleep by creatures unknown.
Blackhall is obviously not a standard house – it is made of dark stone with very thick walls and narrow windows. Only a single story tall, the squat dark structure is heavy with the promise of mystery and creepiness. Of the windows, only the one looking into the overgrown garden is still intact. Leaves and other detritus covers the floors of the other rooms.
The current master of Blackhall hides from the sun in the small central secret room, and spends a little time in the chamber with the intact window, reading by candle light and occasionally walking the hall.
And our second map to be re-released under a commercial license are the dark dungeons under the black standing stones of Prior’s Hill.
Prior’s Hill
Eight massive standing stones loom around Prior’s Hill. Grasses never grow tall here, and according to those willing to track their travels through the forest, the druids’ paths all eventually lead to this one place.
On the right nights, with the right rituals, you can open the portal on Prior’s Hill and climb down the stairs to the black dungeons below.

Well of the Wyrm
Well of the Wyrm
But Qiroi is no fool or beastial dragon. The sounds and movement within the dungeons east of the entrance cave are those of illusions planted to lure the unwary. For Quiroi lives beneath the dungeon, in a set of chambers reached through the river that feeds the ancient Caenleigh well.
Well of the Wyrm (B&W)
But he is still a dragon, and has little patience for interlopers and would-be dragon hunters. He uses the illusions and distractions to help him get the jump on intruders, to strike them from behind with his corrosive breath and potent magics.
The maps on Dyson’s Dodecahedron are released for free personal use thanks to the support of awesome patrons like you over on Patreon. Every month 400 patrons come together to make these releases possible. You can help too in order to keep the flow of maps coming and to improve their quality – and even get a map of your own!

Monstrueusement Mignons (Générique : Médiéval-Fantastique)
Monstrueusement Mignons est un bestiaire et une aide de jeu, qui propose d’amener les versions juvéniles de monstres habituellement rencontrés dans des univers de fantasy classiques comme Dungeons & Dragons, et, en l’occurrence, Héros & Dragons ainsi que Chroniques Oubliées Fantasy. Les versions originales (Baby Bestiary 1 & 2) se veulent être une aide de jeu générique, dénuée d’éléments techniques. La version française, pour sa part, compile les deux ouvrages originaux et ajoute les règles de dressage, d’ordres et les caractéristiques des versions juvéniles de ces monstres pour les les jeux H&D, COF et COF-Mini.

Black Ichor of the Iron Obelisk
Black Ichor of the Iron Obelisk
The Iron Obelisk has many powerful uses. Flakes of rust taken from the area around it and ground to dust make sleep spells incredibly more potent, whereas rust taken from the Obelisk itself can be used to counter most forms of mind control and charms. Bits of iron taken along with this rust can be worked into somber weapons and armour that spread their melancholic nature to their bearers, but also to their foes.
But those who touch the iron obelisk itself or the black ichor are cursed with the yearning sadness of the device. They will seek out places underground where the ichor can be found, and while the ichor does nothing to sate or alleviate the sadness, it calls to the cursed and bathing in it will indeed remove any other curses or diseases the target is afflicted with.
In fact, when adventuring underground, those cursed by the obelisk or the ichor will often find themselves in proximity with the ichor – even if it shouldn’t be there. There is a 25% chance that any adventure leading them underground will lead them to the black ichor in some way. It will replace water in dungeons and adventures, and will seem ominously ever-present until the curse is broken.

Plane Shift : Dominaria
Wizards of the Coast – D&D5 – Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition. En attendant Ravnica, vous prendrez bien un peu de Dominaria, non ?

Plane Shift : Dominaria (D&D5 – Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition)
La série des Plane Shift est destinée à apporter des références techniques pour adapter les univers du jeu de cartes Magic : The Gathering à la cinquième édition de Dungeons & Dragons. Ils sont à chaque fois à mettre en rapport avec ces collections de cartes ainsi que l’artbook correspondant. Sixième supplément de cette série, Plane Shift : Dominaria est un complément à l’ouvrage The Art of Magic : The Gathering – Dominaria. Il revient sur l’univers iconique de Magic en se concentrant sur le continent d’Aerona, laissant à dessein les région d’Urborg, Shiv et Yavimaya de côté. Bien que Dominaria soit l’un des univers les plus développés de Magic, ce supplément est plus compact que les précédents opus (vingt-quatre pages au lieu d’une quarantaine). Ces fichiers ont été mis à disposition gratuitement sur le site de l’éditeur. Bien que développés et publiés par Wizards of the Coast, ces ouvrages n’ont pas donné lieu aux playtests habituels de la gamme D&D5. Le matériel qu’ils proposent n’est donc pas compatible avec les événements organisés D&D.

Crypts of the Immortal Fortress
Crypts of the Immortal Fortress
These particular crypts were considered inconsequential until a planes-hopping sage showed up with a map indicating something important within – so if you can get into the fortress, getting to the crypts themselves shouldn’t be too hard of a task.
Behind the scenes, this is actually a redraw of a small crossword puzzle posted during the Alternate Reality Game that was played online leading up to the Stream of Eyes event where they announced the upcoming release of the two 5e Waterdeep books this autumn.

Four Against Darkness – Temple of the Jade Gorgon
On Wednesday, I decided to give myself the “day off” to just play games and ignore any work or chores or whatever. Ordered out for food, and pulled out “Four Against Darkness” for the first time.
It is a solo dungeon-delving game and this was my first run through it. The book says your first run should take about an hour, with later games taking about 45 minutes, but I found my game took about 150 minutes to play through – with lots of flipping through the book. But it will definitely get quicker now that I know most of the systems in play.
Temple of the Jade Gorgon
I’ll be honest, this first delve felt a little too easy. Maybe I was just really lucky, so we’ll have to try a second game to be sure. But part of the problem I foresee is that as characters gain levels, the dungeons (at least in the first book) don’t – so once you’ve survived a few dungeons, you should be hell on wheels.
But I’ve got a lot of adventure modules to try out also. I’ll take the base game for another spin or two, then move on to the modules.
Highlight of this session was the Jade Gorgon. At the beginning of the encounter she turned everyone in the party to stone except the cleric. Which was good, as the cleric has the Blessing spell which reverses petrification… So I guess just one different roll would have massively changed the whole climax of the adventure.

The Savage Caves
The Savage Caves
Used as a traditional dungeon to hold prisoners under Saurguard – the dungeon was being expanded to include a temple to the proscribed lords of damnation when construction breached into a a cave slightly beneath the level of the temple and proceeded down through the limestone to the hillside beneath the Haunt.
Of course, you can’t just leave places like this open and unguarded and not expect foul things to move in… The lower entrance to the savage caves has been claimed by giant spiders who have killed off the entire bat population that once lived here, and who knows what foulness has taken over the ancient dungeons?
