It's a little late to be a Christmas gift, but here are three new magic items for use in your campaign.
Amulet of the Haunted Skull - A petrified wooden skull on prayer beads that can shoot lightning bolts. What's not to like?
Pirate Ring - Arrgh!
Primal Sword of the Barbarian - Because why not let them rage one last time? I'm sure the rest of the party won't mind.
Are you excited for next year? We are, especially with a few of the choices we have below. So let's bring in the new year with an exciting Deep Dive!

While you may just see the Chuul as the footsoldiers for an inevitable Kaiju invasion, these lobster-insect-lizards are more than just monsters to be slaughtered. They are a horrifying testament to what happens when mad wizards and creatures from outside our realms of understanding get ahold of a lowly crustacean. From genetic experiments gone wrong to purposeful transformations, we recommend you stay far away from swamps, rivers, oceans, and anywhere else that has a bit of water where these ...

This week we are taking a look at the elemental monsters you might stumble across if you travel to the Plane of Fire, more specifically the City of Brass. While these creatures aren't unique to the City of Brass, as many reside across the planes, many make their home within the golden streets of the city. With obsidian walls and brass towers, the City of Brass is a metropolis in one of the unlikeliest and hottest of places. Some believe that the City of Brass is the largest city in the multiv...

The court jester was the one person in a King's Court that could mock a King without consequence. As no one took them seriously, their words and acts were seen as actions of an fool and had no merit.
But woe to the one who insults the Queen.
Masks have been used throughout history to disguise one's identity, allowing that individual to behave and act without fear of consequence. But what if a mask was once someone's face, say that of a poor court jester?
The answer is the Ma...

A creature with its origins dating to Greek mythology, the Manticore is one strange-looking creature. We’ve done a lot of creatures whose looks we’ve called strange, bizarre, and in some cases, downright terrifying, but this one makes us shudder with their twisted faces and foul nature. Even their name, which means “Man-Eater” is enough to let us know that we never, ever, want to meet these horrible predators.
No. Ap... 2021-12-07 17:21:25 +0000 UTC View Post
I (Stephen) am going to be running a one-shot on December 17th 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 (12th). 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...

Whether you love them or hate them, giants have long been a part of RPGs. For a time, they felt like the THING to fight as there is no shortage of giant-focused books like Against the Giants, Giantcraft, and more! While we have something like Storm King's Thunder, it just isn't quite the giant slaying adventure one would hope for. I love including giants in my games, there is something quite satisfying about the small folk fighting against behemoths that weigh tons ...

The Lady of Dissen is a power from our homebrew world of Talia (although you can easily add it to your world). What is a power you may ask? During the formation of the world of Talia, Major deities from other worlds wanted to lay claim to the worship of Talia's inhabitants and sent avatars, proxies, and angels to the world to sway its opinions. These creatures were known as powers, and are still worshipped to this day.

We need help deciding what is our next sticker for Dump Stat! This sticker will be sent out to our $5 and up patrons for free in January and available in our store to all in February. The following options are based on our Deep Dives from September, October, November, and a few others from past Deep Dives.
2021-11-27 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostPeople love giants, as the Storm Giant was the run away winning last week. We hope you enjoyed the Deep Dive on the biggest of all the giants, but it's time to move on and explore a new creature. We'll have a couple faces you'll recognize and a few new one to spice things up, so get your votes in!
Voting closes at noon on Monday.

The most powerful of all giant-kind, the Storm Giant is a powerful being that towers over almost all others. They sit at the top of the giant hierarchy, whether that be one based on strength or the god-ordained Ordning that appears in some worlds. While they weren’t part of the first released giants in the White Box Set of Dungeons & Dragons, their hold over all other giants secures their position as the greatest of their kind.
This week we are looking at a variety of inventors we can add to our games. Inventors are always getting in trouble, looking for rare materials, or wanting to test out their new inventions on (or maybe with) adventurers.

Today we've got a single item, the artifact Kauhu. This sword was created by the ancient god Ghaunadaur, also known as the God of Slime. Ghaunadaur is quite the fellow, for when it appears to us mere mortals, it usually does so as a reddish-purple giant slug. Of course no one wants to wear the same outfit all the time, so the Lord of Slime will also show up in your nightmares as an amorphous free-flowing shape like a jelly, which can transform into a giant roper with up to 10 long purple tent...

The Dracolich was a runaway favorite last week and we can't we are surprised. While it was fun to do, it's time to move to our next Deep Dive. It will be released just in time for you to have an excuse not to hang with drunk uncle Bob, or wait a day and use it to get out of Black Friday shopping.

Ah, the Dracolich. The best type of lich in existence. What could be more fun than taking an ancient evil dragon and combining it with the powers of a lich? Pretty much nothing if you’re a DM. Players on the other hand maybe have a slightly different take on the creature when they stumble across it. That is if they survive.
While we start this Deep Dive in 1986, the creature was first concei...

Today's monsters are a bit weirder than what is typical (even from me) and are focused around fallen angels who have not yet turned into fiends. Taking the name of Grigori, from the apocryphal Book of Enoch, they were tasked with watching mortals before they were slowly corrupted and became fallen angels. To go along with fallen angels, I also combined in the Seven Deadly Sins, giving them unique abilities based on what foul trait they invoke and what led to their downfall - there are more 's...

Magic Items aren't always game changing. Shiny armor and bloodied weapons are nice and all, but a dueling cape is a fashion statement few can pull off.

The Doppelganger is every paranoid adventurer’s worst nightmare come true. These creatures have the natural ability to shape themselves to look like anyone they please, even imitating mannerisms and memories. While a Doppelganger can use their power for good, we would urge you to not count on that. They are depicted as greedy creatures by nature, and the best defense you have against them is to be common and poor. A Doppelganger is always looking to assume the persona of someone that can al...
