Greeting, all.

Back in February, I undertook a creative challenge for myself, creating one new piece of D&D content a day that went with a theme. "Fey-brew-ary" was both interesting and productive, and it resulted in 29 brand new fey/fairy-related creations.

I'm thinking of doing something similar for September, and I'm turning to my generous patrons for input ...
