Character Sheet Templates

I was asked; a few days ago if I could put together a sheet template for 5e. I finally figured out how to do that in such a way that you guys can just copy it out and fill it in, using Notepad, or just directly into the Other section

LFP: Grande Temple of Jing (Pathfinder)

In his own words, as posted on the Portal forums: Looking for players for my Grande Temple of Jing dungeon crawl. I currently have up to three slots available and would greatly appreciate at least one more player (two or even all three would of course be wonderful). I have

Kickstarters of Note

Hello, fellow Portalites!Before I get into the meat of this Kickstarters of Note post, I want to apologise for falling off the internet for the better part of two weeks; it’s been a bit hectic here at Portal Headquarters, and not just because we hied off to ReaperCon.

Question of Sevens

The cave system has never been well-explored, so finding that it contained ruins was not so much of a surprise as it might have been. But the axe.. that was a moment of luck…

Kickstarters of Note

Hello, fellow Portalites. I am back again with a couple of Kickstarters, and a headsup on a project that might interest some of you. Mostly, it’s maps and minis this go ’round – I’m back to having trouble finding stuff I think you all would be interested in. But,

Question of Sevens

When first sighted, the bottle is tiny; just a little spot of green in the vast ocean. Nearer .. and nearer, and nearer it becomes clear; this is no mere bottle, but a tiny ecosystem encased in glass…

Question of Sevens

Every time you’ve walked into this room for the past month, it’s smelled like ginger cookies…

Question of Sevens

Nothing of note, nothing overt. But bad luck, the one constant in the past few months. So, a little bowl of milk, left on the doorstep. An old horse shoe, nailed to the door frame, like a cup… nothing seems to help.

Kickstarters of Note

Hello, fellow Portalites!Another edition of Kickstarters of Note; not a large selection, but I suspect that most of you won’t have a problem with that. There’s some dice, and some blue prints and a colouring book, and probably a lot more that I didn’t stumble over,

GM's Tip of the Week

Sorcerers; not the easiest class, but capable of surprising depth in the right hands. Even more than wizards, sorcerers are difficult to master; their fixed spell-lists and – in Pathfinder – added bloodilne powers make them powerful, but force a player to plan ahead and be far more careful with their spell

Kickstarters of Note!

Hello, fellow Portalites!Christmas has passed, and I hope you have all come out of it with your sanity more or less intact. As always, I have a whole bunch of new Kickstarters in progress for you to look at!Mostly things I hope would be of use to those

Kickstarters of Note

Sadly, I don’t have so much for you this week; there was a transparent mapping thing that I /really wanted to share/ .. but by the time I found it it was looking at thirty hours to go, and that didn’t seem fair to you guys. So, we have
