Bringing Vampire Characters into a 'D&D' Campaign
One of the more powerful types of enemies players will encounter in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign are vampires. Whether they are the final boss of an adventure, or a random enemy who the party comes across, vampires in Dungeons and Dragons have numerous abilities that make them dangerous to any group.

Others merely want to have a character with the additional powers and traits that come with playing a vampire.

It’s been years since I’ve played Dungeons and Dragons. I had many fond memories of playing with friends around the gaming table and helping my character progress in their abilities and power. I had a lot of fun playing in famous Forgotten Realms locales like Cormyr, Icewind Dale and the Sword Coast.

If had to sum up my weekend, it would be the words written on this coffee mug I drank my latte from on Saturday. After we closed the Journal office on Friday, I drove from Ritzville to Spokane to meet up with some old friends.

A Corehound Named Cingano
Note this is not the exact picture of my mother’s core hound, but Cigano does look like it. My mother has been playing World of Warcraft since the game came out in 2006.
