Rewind - Artifacts II

Artifacts are magic items of amazing power, often created eons ago when magic was at its strongest or handed down by a god to one that serves them or any variety of reasons. These powerful items can help define a campaign or turn it completely on its heel. Some campaigns may only grant a single artifact, while others may give each player a custom-tailored artifact, turning a strong party of adventurers into ultimate heroes.

Path of Souls Bestiary [Monster Thursday]

Deep within the plane of shadow, before the gods warred with the primordials, souls were sent to a great vault known as Death's Reach or the Path of Souls. This demiplane within the shadow plane was meant to be as a vault or repository for all the souls of mortals as, at that time, no one truly knew the power of a mortal's soul. The primordials took over the vault and began experimenting with the souls and, in the war between gods and primordials, they brought forth their powerful weapons fue...

Dota Conversion Project [Magic Item Monday]

I’ve recently gotten back into Dota. I could write a novel on the previous/current issues with the game (loss of tourney teams, stagnant development, still the most toxic game out there), but we are here to talk about Dungeons & Dragons. Instead, I wanted to talk about a couple of things that could translate into D&D, hence the Dota Conversion Project. 

We begin with the conversion of the magical items you can purchase throughout a game of Dota. Consumables is our first s...

Trouble in Lower Bern - Book 1 [Store, Adventure]

Thank you for your support! Here is the PDF of our latest adventure! 

---------

The Bloodied Hand have long been a scourge...

This is the first part of the Gangs of Ferrum series. The Bloodied Hand have long been a scourge on the district of Lower Bern, oppressing its people and ruling the crime-ridden streets. For whatever reason, they have been left to their foul work without any opposition by the city itself.

It is up to a group of adventurers ...

Deep Dive Poll - August 19th

First off, thanks to everyone for not picking the Bard class as last week's Deep Dive (and to those that did vote for it...I know you you are). Stephen thought he'd be funny and have us do another class Deep Dive since the last one almost killed me.

Now that we are back on track, and will never let Stephen make the poll again, let's take a look at our choices for the upcoming Deep Dive. As usual, voting ends on Monday at 12pm.

Deep Dive - The Tabaxi [Early Access]

Also known as Catfolk, the Tabaxi originate in deep jungles and distant locales where they avoid outsiders and influence from civilization. They are content to stick to their isolationist behavior but a rare few travel the world as adventurers, bringing back to their clans weaponry, magic items, and stories of strange worlds.

This deep dive looks into the history of the Tabaxi, while similar races, like the Rakasta, introduced in the Mystara setting, and the Leonin, introduced ...

One-Shot: Stargate SG-1 (RPG) - August 20th, 2021

I (Stephen) am going to be running a one-shot on August 20th 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 (5th), a few days later to our $1 patrons (10th), and then it will be open to anyone on our Discord (15th). 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 you to t...

Palace Staff Codex [Monster Thursday]

From servants to advisors, a palace is full of people working to keep the household going and the kingdom moving slowly. Its up to them to ensure that their ruler is happy, for a happy ruler is a happy kingdom, at least... that's probably what they are told by the said ruler... Whether they agree with their king or not isn't really of much importance, for their job is to simply carry on and clean, advise, and prepare the royalty for their big days.

Advisor (CR 3) They g...

Armor & Shields [Magic Item Monday]

This week we are looking at magical armor and shields! For too long have our adventurers gone out in the world with fancy weapons and magic items, but their armor remains the same old boring +1 bonus to AC. Of course, it's hard to argue with a 5% boost to not getting hit in the face, but where's the fun in that? You got hit points, use them!

Deep Dive Poll - August 5th

Now that we've gotten the edgiest player character race out of the way, let's figure out what we are doing next time! Since Chris is on vacation, and won't get a chance to change the poll, now is the time to vote on all the things that he keeps vetoing!

The poll will close on Monday, July 26th at noon, so get your vote in now!

Deep Dive - The Tiefling [Early Access]

Used to the sideways stares and disapproving frowns they see from other humanoids, Tieflings barely acknowledge the existence of others. Of course, maybe all they really want is a friend, but instead, they are dying on the inside as more people turn against them thanks to vicious rumors and gross assumptions. Can we honestly blame Tieflings for having a few evil thoughts now and then? Especially when all they want to be is left alone from the stares and rude gestures that follow them.

Hook Horror - Deep Dive [Audio Only]

This ferocious insect-bird monster prowls the Underdark in search of plants, fungi, and flesh.

Location: Wizard Tower [Monster Thursday]

What strange secrets and monsters might a Wizard Tower hold? What could a group of unlucky adventurers stumble upon inside the comfortable abode of a wizard with too much time on their hands and not enough morals to keep them from doing some wacky experiments? Well, we got constructs, monstrosities, undead, and an ooze in this week's bundle of monsters!

Deep Dive Poll - July 22th

Whew! The Redcap is posted and what we thought would be a short one (no pun intended) ended up have way more material for us to research. We hope you enjoyed reading about those murderous little fey creatures, but now it's time to move on and decide on the creature you want to see star in a Deep Dive.

The poll will close on Monday July 12th at noon, so get your vote in now!
