Adventure: Soaring the Skies - A mile high chase, that will take your players' breath

Fun fact, this adventure was supposed to release alongside Runehalt, but somehow I forgot to complete it and upload it.

It's still a blast to play through, and should take us out of the sea for a little bit ;)


Summary.

Within Runehalt, the Clockwork Conservatory has served as both a maximum-security prison, as well as a primary ground for experimentation. Unfortunately, quite recently, a break-out was staged. The escapee, aside from being a highly...

Adventure - To Sink A City. A level 14 nightmare survival adventure!

In thousands of years, the civilization of Comboro will be seen as nothing more than a legend, a ghost story, but in current times, it's the richest in the world. Led by the Priests of the Great Tide, Comboro has grown to an extraordinary size and prospered plenty. The entire island is now richer than a large part of the mainland. This is all due to the waters of life, gifted to the islanders by The Spirit of Ebb And Flow. But something has been amiss lately. The sun has retreated and a cloud...

Wizard - School of Displacement v.0.9 // Druid - Circle of the Depths v.0.9

Both of these subclasses are super fun, although the art isn't included yet, because these 2 subclasses, as well as the upcoming cleric subclass (last subclass of the guide to the abyssal depths), are still up to to change.

They are very fun, the wizard focusing on movement, and the druid being more of a melee focus, which is something that very few druid subclasses do.

Enjoy!

Update about the current situation

Hello everyone!

As you may have noticed I haven't posted a lot of things recently. This was due to a few personal issues that I had to deal with, accumulated with a burn out, which pushed me away from Patreon for 8 days.

Everything is fixed now, I have some backlogged content which I will release this week, to make up for the absence of content on the last one.

Unfortunately this delay means that the Guide to the Abyssal Depths won't be released this month. But I will re...

Sunken City - A level 8 adventure that takes deep in underwater ruins

Have you ever heard of the myth of Atlantis, the sunken city ? Well this adventure is inspired from it. Form a group of brave adventures and explore the uncharted depths of the oceean!

A long, long time ago, before the current age of man, when the sea is seen as treacherous and unyielding, there was an era of harmony with the waters. The entire civilization of the Comboro Isle built temples to the gods of the depths, and these gods rewarded them with wealth and great luck. And then...

Spells of the Guide to the Abyssal Depths

Here all the spells created so far for the Guide to the Abyssal Depths.

The vast majority are water themed and can do a lot of fun things, although I want to add more thunder spells before releasing the compendium. Perhaps more crowd control spells as well.

The Eversea and its Monsters

A chilling sea that is covered by a mind bending mist and hides terrible abominations. Sounds like a fun time!

(The Eversea is part of Bricia, which is the over-world where all the compendiums have taken place so far)

I will probably even detail it some more, I also have a full underwater city that I want to give you guys, but everything takes time to create, but slowly but surely it's all coming together nicely.

The Evermist is explored more in depths in an upcoming adve...

Sorcerer - Oceanic Soul

Water sorcery because what underwater compendium would go without one.

This subclass's focus is on defense and mobility, for a lot of good fun.

Under the spells is written "Abyssal Tome", it means the Guide to the Abyssal Depths.

Rules: Surviving Underwater

If I'm making an underwater compendium, I'm going to need some underwater rules. So here they are.

Feel free to use them in your own games, if you descend down into the oceanic abyss!

The compendium is already 55 pages long, not counting the adventures... It's going to be a chunky one!

Monster - Sea Giants

What happens when a sea giant gets corrupted by a God of the Deep ? It becomes a Deep One.

These ancestral keepers of knowledge are often tempted by corrupted beings. Not all of them keep their sanity.

Those that do are very helpful to adventurers crossing the ocean in search of knowledge, and those that don't present as formidable foes.

Fallen, The First Deepsteel Sword

Finally introducing deepsteel.

A very rare material only found in the abyssal ocean, deepsteel is made from the blood of titanic aberrations.

More details on that will be revealed later.

For now enjoy this weapon on your hunt for aberrations, and careful that it doesn’t corrupt you in the process.

Barbarian - Path of Fathoms

(Apparently the subclass didn't upload on Saturday as scheduled)

New barbarian subclass that has a heavy emphasis on grappling and mobility. As the saying goes "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer".

In addition a slight rework of the Oath of the Abyss Watcher, with the art updated on both.

Later today, we're delving into deepsteel and a deepsteel evolving weapon.

The Drowned Groom - A Level 15 Murder Mystery Adventure

"Most would say that there is nothing quite as beautiful as young love. And for the most part, they'd be right. But not entirely. It was 150 years ago, within Olin, when young love led to the most disturbing tragedy the city had ever seen. A young woman of noble descent, whose name has now been lost to time, is said to have fallen in love with a commoner. He, despite being nothing more than a baker, is said to have drawn her attention while playing the organ in the church. They say he played ...

Monsters - False Prophets, Bloated Nightmares and Fallen Worshippers

More monsters that lurk in the deep ocean.

The bloated nightmare functions as a buffing totem, that the players need to avoid with their AoE attacks, or pay the consequences for it, and the fallen worshippers are made to force players to attack bloated nightmares, a fun combo!

False prophets are deep creatures, that try to charm villages into falling into the corruption of the depths.

Abyssal Skeletons - 3 New Skeletons that haunt the depths of the ocean, and can drown players

When you feel it’s hands grasping around your neck, it’s already too late. The Abyss awaits you.

Lower CR monsters today, which can really scare low level players that decide to play near the water. You have two which are focused on grappling and drowing players, and another one which is extremely nimble and made to harass players from a distance.

They are all fun to play with

Dawn Kraken - Like A Kraken, but on fire

Hello!

Another Monster today, of more titanic size, the Dawn Kraken.
It is said that only Paladins of the Oath of the Abyss Watchers have managed to capture one and restrain one, and for a good reason.

I'm focusing seriously on monsters for the next week or so, because I want to release a bestiary of various monsters, before launching the full guide to the abyssal depths.

Yes my playtesters are suffering through very many monsters in an endless dungeon :)

Giant Electric Eels & Golden Eels

As someone who grew up near the sea, I find fish delicious. Now if said fish was about 3 times my size, could zap me with electricity, and devour me in a single bite, I'm sure I would have a different opinion about them.

This is said fish. Two giant eels, once more evil than the other, which you can throw at your players.

If you run a non underwater campaign: If you want to run these monsters on land, simply reflavor them to be boars, and change their swim speed...
