In celebration of the holiday season, Magic Item Monday is featuring creations inspired by the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas". We are breaking up the twelve days into two parts, and today's post will feature the first 6 days. Here's what we have for you this week, and keep an eye out for the remaining days the Monday after Christmas.

This feathered flying serpent has taken on many forms throughout history, though it is most well known in Aztec society. There, the feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl, was the Aztec god of wind, air, and learning and was one of the most revered gods. Quetzacoatl was treated as a patron god to scholars and priests, as it represented learning and knowledge. Even before the Aztecs, in the ancient Mesoamerican cultures like the Olmec and Teotihuacan, this feathered serpent can be found decorating a ...

I (Stephen) am going to be running a one-shot on December 18th but first I need a few players - which is where you come in. This will be a first-come, first-serve though our $10 patrons get first dibs. After that, I'll be opening it up to our $5 patrons (7th), a few days later to our $1 patrons (10th), and then it will be open to anyone on our Discord (13rd). I have room for 6 players in the one-shot. If you are in one of the lower tiers, feel free to message me beforehand and I'll add yo...

Flipping through the elementals in the Monster Manual, the para-elemental planes could use a bit lover as all they get are lousy mephits... -Stephen
With all this effort I've been doing looking through the old Planescape campaign setting, I'm realizing how much I like the Inner Planes. Before, I never really gave them much thought, and focused more on the Feywild and Shadowfell, like most people I assume. Those two planes are great ideas that came out of 4th edition, and it's n...

What happens when you get a bunch of wizards together with too much time on their hands and a penchant for making trouble? A set of spellbooks meant to cause mischief. In this first volume, these wizards have taken spells that we all know and love and changed them ever so slightly to create a new spell. While they aren't meant to kill you, they are meant to surprise, confuse, and befuddle the poor slob that cast them.
Here's an example of just one of the spells you can find in Vo...

The Chimera is one of those creatures you think Gygax would have thought up in his basement while he was creating other disturbing creatures such as the Owlbear and Xorn, but you’d be wrong. The Chimera has a history reaching all the way back to Greek mythology, as it’s the offspring of the massive ...

Time to get spicy with our dragons.... - Stephen
This week's Monster Thursday is focused on some fearsome dragons that exist outside the metallic/chromatic lineages. Those two lineages get all the fame and fortune, constantly talked about and loved... there are dozens of other dragons out there just waiting to be touched on and loved, crafted into horrifying villains and grateful quest givers. This group of dragons are probably residing in the first category, but could start ou...

A little something different this week. Instead of doing individual magical books, these four books are all volumes in a series called "The (In)complete Set of Famous Familiars". Each of these books provides the know how to summon one of these legendary creatures and form a special bond with to be your wizard's familiar.
I'm hoping for this to be an ongoing series, as there are a number more creatures that would make great familiars. Who knows, maybe Volumes 1 and 10 will be dis...

For our next Deep Dive, we'll be having you, our amazing patrons, choose from monsters that have something strange going on with their head(s). We've already done the beholder, but fear not, for there are plenty of others responsible for terrorizing players throughout the editions.

.... I may have lied last time about my last spooky monster collection... -Stephen
The world beneath us, sometimes called the Underdark or the Dark Lands, is quite fascinating, but it can be difficult to know how to stock it with creatures. Here are a few more creatures to prowl the darkness and hunt your players through the twisting tunnels. I've even added in a new race you could add to your own games if you were wanting something from these horrifying underworld.

I feel like the mace and flail are forgotten weapons from a time long ago, fondly known as AD&D. Clerics always took a mace as their weapon, unless they were a dwarven cleric, in which case you took a hammer. But the mace has fallen out of favor over the editions, and the characters that wield them are far and few between.
To remedy this grave injustice, here are a couple of maces and flails for your campaign. Throw one of these items into a treasure chest and help bring the m...

This monster has been in Dungeons & Dragons since the beginning and it is no wonder why. The Ghoul can trace its mythical roots back to Arabic mythology. In Arabic legend, some Ghouls might be a shapeshifting demon that can appear in the form of a hyena and lures unwary people into abandoned places to eat them. You might have guessed already, but Ghouls are really into eating flesh.
In the 8th century and before, Arabic scholars and storytellers would eventually consolidate...

My last spooky compendium of horrifying monsters for the year! -Stephen
More spooky and horrible monsters to add to your own games! These creatures are foul and cruel, well, maybe not all of them, and fit into the theme of October. From pumpkins to wicker men, from witch huts to undead, there are a lot of creatures in here... and some of them are even plants! I realized, I haven't really made a lot of plants and I'm glad I could rectify that with these last two posts - plants c...

The Scarecrow is a lot of history built around it outside of Dungeons & Dragons, and is way richer than what you’ll find inside of the actual game. The first people to use the Scarecrow were the Egyptians, as they used them to protect wheat fields from the fearsome and evil quails that would devour their crops. These Scarecrows aren’t the typical man shape horror we all know, but rather were traps, as the farmers would put our a wooden frame covered with a net in the fields, ...
