Into The Labyrinth

If you are here, it's late. I'm a Gygaxian freak, so any step can be the last one.
As you may discover, if you'll ever have the patience to follow this blog, I'm not an old school elitist, though. I mix and match, trying to get the best from the two schools.
But this is actually a love letter to the playstyle that fits my DMing needings.

In other words, this will be, in other words, a B/X - Labyrinth Lord dark/horror fanclub.


We'll cover a lot of terrain here: I'll tell you about my "Chronicles of Amherth" campaign (heya heya oh!), I'll present my homebrew classes and I'll even plan some future work with you.

This is a blog about dark fantasy and grim, deadly tales where desperate heroes hope to fulfill their atrocious destiny.

In the meanwhile, I leave you with a concept: life is a dungeon. That's the idea behind all of my adventures and creations. Even if most of our favorite game is about alignments, evil and good, I like the grey area where people take weird decisions in crucial moments of their relatively short lifespans. This is George Martin's, more or less.


So, let us fall into the labyrinth, where dangerous rooms await, horrible monsters lurk and mysterious secrets lie where nobody dare to look.

And remember: it can't rain all the time. But it can snow. Or worst.

[TIPS] The awesomeness of TRAITS in Pathfinder 2e

First post After a while on these Pages! The [TIPS] series will feature quick and useful bits of knowledge to enhance specific parts of a game.  We'll start off with Pathfinder Second Edition's TRAITS! This Is By far the MOST understimated and misunderstood part of the ruleset and I cannot stess It enough: It Is a pillar of the game's mindset and a huge storytelling device, for Any style. It Is the correct example of how mechanics and narration march side by side.  So, here It Is a small rundown.  ✅ Traits are your friend. A Trait Is a descripor like "Fire" or "Cleric" you find below any action/item title. It gives you narrative direction and, sometimes, mechanical concepts as well.  MOST of the time, though, they don't do Much more than they tell. "Fire" means Fire Is someway involved.  But how can we make such a simple Word make the difference? Bear with me. :)  THE PURE MECHANICAL BENEFIT 🔥 You are fighting enemies which might be weak t...

Amherth Diaries, Session VII: Backlash (clues recap for the readers!!!)

They finally face Fynch, the "feminine" thief of the Adventurer's Guild. They know he's a member of the secretive assassin's guild and that he knows more than they think. In the last session, Celemor told her nephew Elowen that he noticed him following her and Morgane Harrow during one of their "journeys" to the Magic Academy.  Fynch awaits and doesn't take long before the fellowship pushes on. He confesses: he's an assassin. But not the assassin. He just noticed that another assassin (the actual killer) was moving like a "real" assassin during Summer's End and Fynch got that he was part of the secretive guild himself. But that guild as a golden rule : you don't kill unless a real "murderer order" has been given and no orders had been given. So, the killer was acting on his own. He didn't lie in the end , if you remember the interrogation during the early sessions.  Fynch tried to stop him writing a...
