Skills Explained!

Hey Everyone!

Attached are printable versions of my skill cards. These explain what each skill is used for. They make great tools for new players. Enjoy!

New D&D Beginner Materials!

I was thinking back to D&D 4e and one of the things I liked about it were the ability cards. It made it easy to keep track of what you could do throughout an adventure. So, I decided to bring this feature back to D&D 5e! Attached is a PDF you can print out double-sided. The cards are each standard poker size. The fronts say when you can use it, what type of action it is, and have a space to write in a short description of the thing you can do, while the backs tell you when you get the...

MINI ADVENTURE: The Sanctum of She'kar

Many years ago, the warlock She’kar led a crusade of devastation across the land. In the name of his fiendish patron, he razed villages, destroyed temples, and summoned minions from the depths of the abyss to spread malice and hate across the land. His desire for power blinded him to the evils he was unleashing on the world, and it wasn’t until his waning years that he saw the error of his ways.

But a pact is not easily broken, nor is it done without consequence. She’kar used what...

FULL ADVENTURE: The Dueling Knight's "Fun"geon Dungeon

Not all adventures need to be serious. Sometimes, heroes need to relax like the rest of us! The Dueling Knight is the PREMIER dining establishment in all of Arden. Stop by for a pint, a bite, or a run through our world famous "Fun"geon! What's adventure without the fear of death? We call it family friendly entertainment! Come on down!

UPDATE: Re-did the adventure to suit a 2nd-level party. Completely new adventure!

Reference Cards for Beginners!

Hey Folks!
Just a quick update today. I put together a little batch of reference cards for beginner players. They're 3" x 4.5" so you can print all four on one sheet of paper double-sided. I recommend card stock or something similar. I'll be updating these down the road so make sure to check back in the future!
Enjoy! :)

Beginner Character Folio!

Hey Everyone!

I put this together awhile back and I wanted to finally share it with you all! This is a nifty character sheet turned character notebook for new players. It helps explain the stats, the abilities, and gives them room to really flesh out their character. I hope you enjoy it! :)

FULL ADVENTURE: Shipwreck of the Sea Mephit

     What started out as a leisurely ride onboard a trading vessel has turned into a nightmare. A sudden storm and a massive wave have smashed your ship upon some rocks leaving you stranded on a desert island. Now, surrounded by sharks, you need to piece together an escape plan. You'll need food, water, wood, and a heck of a lot of luck.

Oh, and did I mention the Kraken? I probably should mention the Kraken.

UPDATE: New format and look!<...

FULL ADVENTURE: Something is Rotten in the City-state of Dennmarsh

     There's been trouble brewing in the city lately. A foul smell has begun creeping up through the storm drains and the water in homes and businesses has grown rank and sickening. The Council of Nine, the ruling body of the city, have put out notice of a reward for anyone who can purify the city's water source and deal with the horrible stench. The worst of things seems to be centered around a particularly wealthy part of town. Some believe that something in the sew...

The Monk & Fist

The Monk and Fist is a large inn and ale room just off the main road between the cities of Valhenge and Dureya. It's run by a small and cheerful old man named Gan who enjoys the company of adventurers and loves nothing more than a cold pint and a story.

In the center of the large ale room is a recessed dirt pit. Anyone at any time (regardless of Gan's level of intoxication) can challenge the old man to a fight in the center of the pit. The first one to yield or leave  the pit loses...

Stone's Throw Crossing

Situated on the edge of the Bog Lands and the last remnants of civilization, Stone's Throw acts as the last stop for any traveler headed east along the trade roads. Vile monsters call the marshes their home so few are willing to risk a crossing anywhere else. Because of this, the guards charge a rather exorbitant toll for those seeking to cross their bridge. Those who cannot pay are turned back, forced to take their chances in the wilderness. The wall surrounding Stone's Throw is tall, but ag...

Tomb of the Sleeping Giant

There's an old tale about a tomb hidden in the mountains. Supposedly, a giant slumbers there, and if you wake him, he'll grant you one wish. Many have gone in search of it, but none have ever found it.

Or at least if they did, they never returned to tell the tale.

The Privateer's Port

A famed privateer has harassed the main trade ways for decades. Their small ships use magical fog to sneak up on their targets, and rob them blind. When their work is done, they return to their personal fortified port. Small yet formidable, it can hold its own against most incursions. It even has its own tavern!

Enjoy!

The Crypt of the Ankheg Queen

Travelers on the King's Road often pass through the small town of Montbanc. A small settlement, its only claim to fame is an ancient crypt that supposedly holds the remains of ancient heroes. Often holy men will make pilgrimages here to seek blessings from above.

Recently, however, the crypt has been sealed off. Reports of some kind of monster living in its depths and people and livestock going missing have forced the townsfolk to keep their distance. What they don't know is that an An...
