A cursed wraith is an undead monster created by a deity out of a person who committed a blasphemy or sacrilege while alive. It has no physical body and looks like a pale green, translucent figure composed of thick mist. It is immune to sleep, charm, and hold spells. A cursed wraith can only be hit by silver or magical weapons.

A cursed wraith cannot move; it is bound it its grave. It also cannot attack its enemies directly. Instead, it can, once per day, animate a number of undead minions, providing their are corpses or skeletons nearby to do so. The cursed wraith may create up to its own hit dice of such minions (therefore, it could create four 1 hit die skeletons, two 2-hit die zombies, a single 4 hit die champion, or some other combination adding up to 4. Defeating its minions will banish the cursed wraith from the material plane for one day.

*The artwork for this monster was custom-made by the immensely talented Friendly Mike. THANK YOU, Friendly Mike. You are a marvel!

One Shot in the Dark Module Maker Kit on Undercommon Taste

 The boys over at Undercommon Taste take on the challenge of making a OSitD expansion using the free Maker Kit (available here if you want to check it out).

They go with a post-apocalyptic/alien invasion theme and - although I admit that I am biased - their imagination is infectious & I loved it! Have a listen right here.

Fun at the Toronto Prop Expo

Yesterday I volunteered at the Toronto Prop Expo, run by Jon and Jennifer - two extremely dedicated, hard-working and generous promoters of Canadian talent.  I got to attend a puppet making session, met R2D2 and escaped the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man.
