Sir_Reaper’s Dragonborn Revised

Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

My personal rework of the dragonborn race, the initial form of which was written up as a dare. It was then developed from there and made into what it is today after personal playtesting. I now feel it’s as good a time as any to release it upon the world, as I move on to create a bigger project!

As of this writing, there are only a dozen slots left open for this year’s DCC Open Tournament! If you are going to help Save Xcrawl, you’ll have to sign up now before all the slots are filled up!

With the Empire threatening to take Xcrawl out of the public sphere and make it a military-only training tool, the nation is in an uproar. Now the Oracle of Key West makes a startling pronouncement: the Gods of Olympus declare that if the Adventurer’s League can put together a crawl that delights all the Children of Cronos approve of, they shall declare the Empire’s ruling void and Xcrawl shall remain the measure of the common man. Will you rise to meet the challenge! 

Save Xcrawl is the 2021 Empire of the Cyclops Con tournament adventure, designed by Terry Olsen, Marc Bruner, Stephen Newton, Marzio Muscedere, and Brendan LaSalle.

Unearthing David Drake’s “The Barrow Troll”

Unearthing David Drake’s “The Barrow Troll”

by Brian Murphy

Twelve years ago I wrote a piece on David Drake’s The Barrow Troll for the late, lamented The Cimmerian website. My own interest re-piqued in this tale after mentioning it among ten recommended sword-and-sorcery tales for the haunting season, I have taken the opportunity to unearth that piece, and update and revise with the latest news on it and its author.


You Northerners believe in trolls, so my brother tells me,” said the priest.

Aye, long before the gold I’d heard of the Parma troll,” the berserker agreed. “Ox broad and stronger than ten men, shaggy as a denned bear.”

David Drake, “The Barrow Troll”

David Drake’s “The Barrow Troll” was originally published in December 1975 in Whispers magazine, a former periodical specializing in dark fantasy and horror. Beginning in 1977 editor Stuart David Schiff released the first of six best-of anthologies in a series also entitled Whispers. “The Barrow Troll” appeared in the first of these, which is where I first discovered this wonderful fusion of horror and sword-and-sorcery.

In his introduction to the story, Schiff describes “The Barrow Troll” as “a brutal and shocking piece.” That about sums it up. It’s probably my favorite entry in what is an almost-uniformly excellent collection (though Karl Edward Wagner’s “Sticks” is an absolute gem), and was one of only four short stories to be nominated for a World Fantasy Award in 1976.

The basic details of the story are as follows: Barbarian warrior Ulf Womanslayer seeks out a rumored great treasure housed within a barrow, guarded by the notorious Parma Troll. Ulf received his evocative surname after cutting a woman named Thora to pieces with a four-foot axe during a hall burning. He’s a berserker, the kind so feared by the English whose coasts they raided as it was rumored they were invulnerable to the bite of weapons while in their frenzied state.

In order to kill the troll, Ulf requires the services of a priest, according to Thora’s final words: “And she told me of the Parma lord and the treasure he brought back from Ireland, gold and gems,” Ulf says. “And she said it was cursed that a troll should guard it, and that I must have a mass priest, for the troll could not cross a Christian’s fire and I should slay him then.”

Legend of the Five Rings: Blood of the Lioness

Publisher: EDGE Studio

The Battle of Snow Plain is remembered as a bitter defeat for the Lion Clan at the hands of their northern neighbors, the Unicorn Clan.

A group of samurai is sent to research this historic battle and scrutinize the official accounts, but studying the past is not as simple as it seems, especially when the ancestors are involved.

Step onto the battlefield and charge into the fray with Blood of the Lioness. This adventure for the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game tests the mettle of scouts, soldiers, shugenja, and scholars alike. Yet in order for your players to achieve victory, they must first face the past.
