The Remedy - A Cruel Adventure Confronting Depravity and Madness

Part of the upcoming "Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt".

This level 4 adventure will take your players to the heart of the Ruby District, an area of the town of Luyarnha suffering from the influence of the Eldritch Moon, and overrun with beasts and aberrations.

As this is a dark fantasy/gothic horror setting, the adventure reflects that. It is tough, twisted, and survival is not guaranteed. I made sure to in...

Cloistered Maiden - A new unholy aberration coming to Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt

Hello everyone!

Let me introduce you to the cloistered maiden, This abomination is what happens when Osteomancy goes very, very wrong!

This amalgation of flesh and bones is hell-bent on devouring every living thing it encounters, leaving a trail of ossified corpses in its wake. As such, hunters have to get rid of it quickly, before too much damage is done.

Enjoy!

Warlock - Pact of the Trigger: Unleash the Gunslinger within you

Hello!

So we have Pact of the Tome, the Chain and the Blade, but how about a pact for guns?


This is exactly what we have here. Some of you may remember the original that came out in the Tome of Vile Corruption. This is the new version, which has been refined after more playtesting and that will come out in Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt.

I don't have much more to say, so enjoy!

Where the Bodies Are Buried - A Level 4 Adventure Touching on Darker Themes

Hello everyone!

I'm getting my writing chops ready for Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt, which is going to be a very gothic horror/eldritch book.

There will be some adventures in it, notably one releasing hopefully this Friday.

This one isn't part of the book at all, but rather an idea I had in mind for a long time now. I just wanted to commit it to paper before having to shift all my focus to Steinhardt's. This was mostly to get used to the new layout that I'll be u...

Which Cover Should I use For Steinhardt's Guide?

Hello!

We are currently less than 28 days out from the launch of Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt (releasing on the 19th of July).

So for this Soulsborne and Lovecraft inspired setting book, which art do you reckon we should use on the cover?

I used art 3 so far when showing it to people, but we had more epic pieces of art coming in, and I wanted to get y...

Level 5 Adventure - The Ageless Sentinel

In a city where dragons and humans live in harmony, something is threatening the balance.


This is a very simple premise for the adventure, but I wanted something that would involve a dungeon and a dragon, you know to reflect the game we're all playing. It contains puzzles, monsters, exploration and is overall a good time.

Hope you enjoy it!

Elden Ring Compendium - All the gravity options now usable in 5e, monsters, items and more!

Hello everyone,

I finally completed this piece of content here that I wanted to put out for the community.

As you can tell from my previous compendium, I'm a big fan of gravity magic, and Elden ring was a great game, so I wanted to convert ALL the options of that game into 5e.

Enjoy these new spells, ashes of war, weapons and monsters!

This is pure free fan content :)

I'm actually working on a massive DnD setting inspired by Lovecraft and the Soulsborne Fran...

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the delay on this adventure, it was supposed to come out Sunday, but I was visiting my family and the internet there was horrendous, cancelling my upload each time I tried.

I’m back in the office now, so all the content will get back on track, dropping soon will be an updated version of the Fey-tastic Compendium, which I’ll also be updating this month.

Compendium: Secrets of Gravity Magic V1.5

Hello everyone!

So as I said I was going to go over my older compendiums to proofread them and give them a good refreshing touch. This compendium here is made of player of options, notable subclasses and spells.

The plan is to expand upon this compendium, with the recent gravity options I've been publishing here. This means, more subclasses, more spells, more feats etc....

Extended Gravity Options - New races, subclasses, spell etc.. all with a focus on gravity and space

Hello everyone!

As you may know, I’m working on gravity based content for now, to make a full compendium when it is done.

Here you'll find a new barbarian subclass, a new race, new gravity based spells, items and a monster that will be part of Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Curse (I just really wanted to show off the art ;)

Now I’m off for the weekend, I have a friend getting married tomorrow, and apparently I have to pay attention (how dare he!)

Bebsor's Binder of Barding - 4 new subclasses, new spells, feats, items and more!

As April is ending, here is a whole bunch of content for your DnD 5e Games!

This month I took the approach of releasing content less often, but make bigger releases, I hope you liked it.

This little binder here contains plenty of options for bards, as in, all the options here, expect for the warlock subclass, are intended for bards. Many of these options are very fun and give them a lot of versatility.

Bard: College of the Killing Joke

Hello everyone!

So I released the Book of Transformations, took a couple of days to relax and now I’m back. Can you guess what I read during that break? That’s right, the Batman comic, the Killing Joke.

I’m sure there are plenty of Joker based bard subclasses out there, so let me add mine to the pile. Making people laugh, whether they want it or not.

The subclass is only loosely inspired from the Joker, but the idea of the damaging and spreading laughter is basically...

MonkeyDM's Plans for April

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well.

For April I've planned to upgrade my past compendiums. My older compendiums use art that is subpar, and have a number of typos and improvements in the layout that they could use.

Because I want to bring all the content up to the quality of what I produce today, with the means available to me, that means that these older pieces of content will get a fresh new look.

The Book of Transformations - A Compendium giving players the option to become various popular monsters, Vampire, Werewolf, Mummy and more!

Hello everyone, as the month closes, here is the book of transformations!

This is definitely one of my shorter compendiums, but the class options in it took more time to craft and balance, which makes sense, since it's something more rarely seen.

It offers you the option to become a vampire, werewolf, mummy, siabrae or living experiment, as well as giving you fun monsters and items to play with!

Monsters: Siabrae + Druid with Wildshape

I created the Siabrae prestige class, it was only fitting that I make it a monster as well, and whilst doing so I realized that the regular druid monster doesn't have Wildshape in its abilities, which I find a bit ridiculous. So I remade it with wildshape, and ajusted a couple of minor other things.
