Flames of Enchantment Erupt from the Mage Forge!

So many memorable moments from our fantasy roleplaying game experiences originate through the amazing magical items our characters possess. Drawing your sword accompanied by the roar of a dragon to signify the blade as a relic of an ancient order and your wielding it proving your right to carry on the legacy. Plumbing the depths of eldritch knowledge through your ring’s cursed connection to an unfathomable entity plumbing the depths of your soul in trade. Capturing the souls of dying creatures in your lantern to draw on their essence for aid in your darkest moments. These are the kinds of moments we adventure for as fantasy RPG players. And as creators we’re throwing open the doors to our magic item vault in Mage Forge — Magic Items for 5th Edition!

Nerdarchy’s Top 10 of 2021

Another year comes to a close and we start a year Harvey Dent would be beside himself about with 2022. In a few days we’re putting the Nerdarchymobile in high gear with the launch of our second Kickstarter for Mage Forge — Magic Items for 5th Edition but right now we’re looking back at the year that was through the Top Ten most engaging content across the various platforms.

Top 9 Most Wearable Dragons

We recently made a big change! We packed up our merch and migrated to a new platform. Teepublic offers a way better user experience for all of you and for creators too! On top of the improved user experience from either side of the equation the items available there are much higher quality while at the same time more accessible through much lower prices — plus huge sales basically all of the time. We’ve still got a ways to go before all our Nerdarchy branded merch shows up there and in the meantime we’ve been stocking the store with the Zoo Mafia. We’re also huge nerds ourselves and love us some novelty nerdy stuff.

Immerse Yourself in the Ashes or Ardor Campaign with New 5E D&D Subclasses

Over at Nerdarchy Live we’ve been playing various RPGs on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. eastern. The group of us rotate Game Master duties after each campaign ends, which typically run 12 sessions each. For our current campaign we’re playing Ashes of Ardor with fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons set in the amazing world of Aulmn, a homebrew creation of Steven Partridge. During our session zero we decided we’d all play 5E D&D subclasses of our own Nerdarchy creation. With this campaign winding down, while we prepare for our next one — a superhero campaign using Cypher System — we thought we’d share some insight from this experience. Let’s get into it.
