Nightwick: Driffits
Been a while since we did a monster preview, so here's one! It's everyone's favorite improbably deadly plant monster here to make your catastrophe not so cozy! They are, of course, found on level 2...

For our first post in December, we unveil some information about the treasures in level 2A of Nightwick. Since much of that level is made up of gardens, it made sense to me that some of the treasur...

Nightwick: the Goblin Lair
This geomorph presented a bit of a problem for Huth and myself, as we realized we had neglected to provide stats for two of the monsters! For the "wharwilf," simply use the stats for werewolf you p...
