Now, a scary message shifts the tides... Waves of corruption have swept the land turning peaceful creatures into vicious crystalline monsters. The party will have to survive the trial of the Ethlez...

Crystalomancy Spells - 4 and a half spells to hurl crystals and shatter your foes, part of the Feytastic Compendium

I’m still working on they fey and how to populate it. While writing an adventure taking place in it, I realised that the fey books of old describe crystals a lot, so why not use them in our spells.

Here are a few of them, the math on Crystalline Rose is a bit odd, because on average it does less damage than fireball, but the more enemy you are facing the better the spell gets. I first had it as a dexterity save, but moved it to constitution to make it a bit worse, and...

The New Land - Part 2

A full 40 page adventure module you say ? Well the second part of it now.

As part of reaching 500 patrons, this was one of the milestones that was promised, adventures for the busy GMs and Adventurers.

Enjoy !


This one contains a very unique chase scene for your players, which will lead them in an atypical Dragonborn village, to gather more knowledge on how to fight this rampant corruption.

Fighter: Fey knight - Teleport around the battlefield, enchant your foes and vanish in a flash, part of the Feytastic Compendium

Hey everyone, monkey here.

It’s been a while since I made a subclass, since I’ve been working on many monster compendiums and adventure, but it’s fun to delve back in.

WotC has made many fey themed subclasses, from the archway warlock, to the fey wanderer ranger and the latest wild soul barbarian. But it seems that they didn’t include fighters in the mix.

So here is my attempt at a fey knight. A fighter that uses all aspects of the fey in and out of battle, be it to ...

NSFW ! Cultists - Flesh out your Villains and give them a Good Reason to Want the Apocalypse (part 1)

Something different today. I’ve released many biblical monsters lately but I was suggested by a lot of my patrons to make cultists that could be used alongside them. So I started working on that.

I have to make a disclaimer here, some of the text written in the document is quite gruesome, and most certainly not for every table. Beware it contains content depicting racism and murder. I do not go into any details about it but it touches on those subjects, so I’d rathe...

Pixies - Play the tiniest adventurer with the biggest of heart

New race, pixies ! Perfect to fit snuggly on the shoulder of your Goliath best friend. They come with the full package, cute tiny wings, pixie dust (to be used with caution) and an explosive personality.

You can now be the cutest adventurer of them all, which is great when you want to hide your barbaric murderous tendencies…
The subraces here are a bit different, they are tied to personality, a lot more so than actual heritage. The reason for that choice is that fey creatures are ...

Arcane Befuddler - Turn your wizard's counterspell into a fireball centered on themself

CR 2 and 3 feys, here to annoy you in your day.

These tiny things appear when counterspells are out of control, and make sure to make magic even more chaotic. Very fun to throw at a party full of spellcasters.

Oh yes, they also slap you with mage hand.

A Grand Performance

Intrigue Adventure Level 10 , for 3-6 players.


This adventure is different from what I usually publish, it's a lot more role-play focused, with a bigger emphasis on the story.

A woman is missing, howling screams are heard during the night, while lavish shows are taking place in town. Something is amiss and you are sent to find out what !

Horror, tragedy, talent and beauty meld inside the 10 page long one shot (this one takes about 4-5h to complete). Fil...

Fixing features I don't like

5th Edition is fantastic, it allows new players access to the game like never before.

But it has a few issues, which after running many many games, seem to always detract from the fun at the table. So here are a few fixes, that keep in theme with each class, and tries to cleanly solve each issue.

Dragon's Hoard 5

A bit late, but here's the 5th dragon hoard, including everything from 5th of January to the 5th of February.

I got so engrossed in creating the Plagues that the Dragon's Hoard skipped my mind, but here it is.

Split into 3 parts, or the full document if you wish it.

The 10 Plagues - A compendium converting the Plagues of Egypt into DnD monsters, including new subclasses, items, plots hooks, titles and more !

Hello everyone !

I’m super happy to be able to present to you the 10 Plagues

Inside, you’ll find all 10 Plagues with their lair actions and regional effects, 2 new subclasses (Royal blood sorcerer and Oath of the Righteous Hunt paladin), 3 new magic items to fight the threat, 4 titles to award your players with, as well as plot hooks and campaign tips to include the plagues seamlessly in your campaign, all illustrated of course, for pages upon pages of...

Slight Delay with the plagues

Hello everyone,

I know I said the plagues would be ready today, but i had to help my family yesterday and today, which put me behind schedule.

Rather than publishing a rushed version of the compendium, I'll take an extra day to polish everything up, and it will be published tomorrow instead.

Cheers !

Azrael - The Last Plague

Hello everyone, monkey here.

The final plague is here, Azrael, the angel of death. As per the scriptures this angel was sent by God to kill all the first-born of Egypt, sparing the houses of those who had covered their door with the blood of recently sacrificed goats.

The story has been D&D-fied to fit into any setting, although the core idea of the plague is still there.

No worries, I know I didn't publish all the plagues one by one, mostly plague number 8 and 9. These...

Hailfire, the 7th Plague

Well here is the polished up 7th Plague.

The stats for all the plagues are done, I need to finish formatting them and compiling them. But that compendium is most certainly shaping up nicely !

Hope you all had an awesome weekend, i'm super exited for the release !

Paladin - Oath of the Righteous Hunt

Play a paladin armed to fight agains the forces of evil, perfect for fighting the 10 Plagues.


This paladin oath can easily be reflavored to be an inquisitor type as well, which adds to the fun !

Lachryma - May their Tears protect you

Hello everyone !

I’m still going at it with the plagues, play testing is in full force, and its going along smoothly. I realised that the last plague of the 10 plagues had to something special. So I created the stat block accordingly.

The monster has a trait “Chosen of the Gods” which is very very problematic, so to solve that issue, I introduce to you the McGuffin.

Forged from the tears of gods no less, it’s a very fun addition to the 10 plagues, and I can’t wait...

Boils - The 6th Plague: Suffer as it has once suffered

The plagues are coming along nicely, here is the 6th one, a little goblin with a tragic fate.

Each plague embodies a different race and history. Some were originally good people turned evil, while others were evil people turned evil-er.

The 5th plague is here for Initiates and above.

EDIT: Re-added everything and corrected the art, sorry for the double email notification ! View Post

Titles for Heroes

 In a lot of RPGs it is common to see titles to reward certain achievements. Even in some popular TV Series we hear about the "kingslayer". I figured an achievement as mighty as killing the Plagues merits its own title, so I devised some.

These are basically high level magic items which don't require attunement, and show the progress of the characters.

If you want your players to feel like true legends, I suggest taking a page out of Doom Eternal, on how people react to his p...

Pestilence - The 5th Plague

Careful it's toxic.

Seriously the more I work on these plagues, the more twisted they become. Good thing they are not supposed to be nice.

This one will probably outlive any unprepared party.

I'm also considering if I should create a hunter type subclass for the compendium with the 10 plagues. Perhaps a paladin oath that hunts horrors like these. An inquisitor style thing.

Something to think about.

Take care !

So after finally releasing my Tome of Vile Corruption, I’m back on the grind, next up finishing the 10 Plagues.

Today Vermin, I think this is one of the most horrendous yet. It lays eggs inside the characters, only for them to hatch and tear through the organs. Image walking and being swarmed by flies that try get under your skin, only for their v...

After reading the comments you left yesterday, as well as suggestions I've gotten on reddit and instagram, these seem to be the 3 most requested:

- Body Modifications
