Did someone leave the window open??

Nope, it's just an ice genie. 

Howdy gang, this week I've got a new elemental genie for ya! 

The qorrashi are a very special race of genies from the para-elemental plane of ice! I had a ton of fun making this video and I hope you enjoy the monster! 

The stat page PDF is attached below and the video is dropping on the main channel today at 3 PM AST!

Interview With The Spirit Warrior Designer!

Hey guys!

I have another sneak peak here. I interviewed Newton Ewell, the designer of the Spirit Warrior, so that I could include some insight straight from the source of our Monster of the Week in the video. Obviously I won't be able to include the entire 40+ minute interview in my MotW upload, but I wanted to post it on my second channel so anyone interested can check it out.

The interview is going to be publicly available for everyone to check out after the video goes live on...

A minor preview and an update.

Hey guys!

I am nearing completion on the Spirit Warrior video and wanted to drop a little preview here via a super secret hidden YouTube link. It's maybe the dumbest thing I've ever edited but I'm stoked about it. 

This is also my way of announcing my second YouTube channel, Dungeon Dad Dabbles. 

It's basically just going to be a hub for any videos that I don't feel will fit on the main channel, such as sneak peaks, interviews, etc.

It's pretty empty over t...

2023 Dragons?

Howdy folks, 

In 2023 I am planning to finish converting ALL of the missing chromatic dragons. We've seen most of them on the channel, but there are still at least 2 missing. 

Which chromatic dragon would you like to see covered next on the channel?

Spirit Warrior Video Update

I posted the following over on discord, but wanted to make sure everyone on patreon saw this too;


Howdy folks.

I just wanted to drop an update about what’s going on with video production.

As a lot of you already know the video that I’m working on right now is for the Spirit Warrior. This video is extremely long and took some wild turns when I was doing research. I was hoping to keep some of this a surprise but it’s starting to look like the video is going ...

Neon Genesis D&D Basically

Hey everyone! 

This week I'm coming at ya with a much requested Spelljammer classic, the Spirit Warrior! 

These guys are among the most interesting and out-there monsters you're likely to encounter, and while they fit perfectly with a Spelljammer campaign, they can also find a place in any D&D high-magic world. 

I am very excited to go in depth with this week's video, but for now you can find the full stat block and lore entry attached below!

Dungeon Dad in 2023

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to check in with all of you guys and get a general idea of what everyone here on patreon thinks about my content moving into the new year. 

January 2023 will mark the beginning of year 5 since I've been uploading D&D content to YouTube, which is honestly kinda wild! It feels like just yesterday I was making that very "rough" destrachan video to get started on this whole YouTube thing. 

As always, Monster of the Week will continue t...

Magic Users, Beware!

Did someone say mageripper? No? Well, it's here anyways. 

This week we're talking about one of the most anti-magic creatures I've ever seen for their CR threshold, the mageripper swarm! 

Video should be up tomorrow, but for now, here's the stat block! Don't forget to grab the PDF attached below. 

ALSO, just a general reminder that all patron stat blocks ever can be found in the master google drive folder right here: 2022-11-29 20:56:42 +0000 UTC View Post

An angel and a demon walk into a bar...

And a neutrally aligned deity merges them into one being. 

Hey gang! This week we're talking about the concordant killer, a monster from the pages of D&D 3.5 with a penchant for murdering anything not devoted to the concept of balance. 

Apologies for the slight delay in getting you the stats for this one, but this video ended up being way bigger than I realized! 

Anyways, don't forget to grab the high-res PDF attached below for all your DMing needs. Catch ...

Faceless Stalker PDF

Hey everyone! Apparently Patreon was having some issues uploading files earlier so the PDF of the faceless stalker was not available. 

Sorry about the mix up! You can find the PDF attached here!

Hey! You with the face!

Hey guys, 

This week we are talking about a faceless aberration that is sort of like a doppelganger, but with more body horror. 

Hopefully you enjoy this take on the mimicking brand of monster. Don't forget to grab the statblock PDF attached below! 

See you in the video!

No Bones About It!

Hello everyone, and happy spooky month!

This week I am bringing you not just one skeleton, but ALL THE SKELETONS.

The boneyard is an amalgamation of skeletal matter that wreaks havoc and does its best to add as many bones, living or dead, to its collection. 

I can't wait to make way too many bone puns in the video, but until then you can find the PDF attached to this post! See you in the upload!

Psychic Angels! This is not a drill!

Hey everyone! 

The new Monster of the Week video about Sibyllic Guardians is dropping on the channel in a couple hours, so here is the post with the 5E PDF! 

I genuinely love these creatures. There are so few interesting celestials to talk about so anytime I find one that has cool abilities and unique lore I jump on it right away. 

This monster is pretty cool, and I can't wait to show you all they have to offer in this week's video. 

See ya there! D...

A purple people eater!

Hello everyone!

As I'm sure many of you saw on twitter/Discord, I am finally returning to making content this week after a few rough weeks dealing with the passing of my mom. I want to start this week's post by thanking every single one of you who stuck by me on Patreon, or even joined up knowing that content was going to slow down for a few weeks. There are no words to describe my gratitude t...

A Demon From The Depths of... 4E!!!

Hey guys!

This week we're going into the darkest depths of the Abyss and pulling out a really weird demon!

Moon Giant Statblock Update

Hey guys, it came to my attention that the moon giant stat block PDF was missing the spellcasting DC/attack modifier numbers, so I updated the PDF with the missing information. Sorry about that!

Attached is the corrected version, and the version in the google drive has also been updated.

A creature that is out of this world!

Hello everyone!

This week I am bringing you a new type of giant from Pathfinder!

The moon giant is a very thematic monster that I think works really well in Dungeons and Dragons, but it can also totally be used in Spelljammer! So with the 5E version of SJ just weeks away, I hope some of you get a chance to use these guys in both the fantasy and sci-fantasy versions of D&D!

As always, the stat block is attached to the post and also available in the google drive. I'll see ...

MotW Bagman Update:

I posted this on twitter and in the Discord, but I wanted to share it here too:

Just to give everyone a heads up, the current Monster of the Week is going to be delayed likely until Monday. I am working my ass off but I refuse to rush this episode because it's massive, both in size and content. I promise it'll be worth the wait!

I also wanted to take a sec to thank you guys. It is not lost on me how fortunate I am to have so many awesome people actively supporting what I do here...

Not a bag boy, but a bag MAN!

Fly me to the moon (rats)

It's time for moonrats! 

"Moonrats?" you say?

Yup! They're rats that become intelligent with the cycles of the moon and I love them. They might seem kinda goofy but I have a lot of fun stuff on deck for how we might use these creatures. Here is the stat block and I'll see you in the video!

Ever since I mentioned it in the Chocolate Golem video awhile back you guys have definitely made sure to let me know you'd like to see more about the Plush Golem, so this week we're gonna check it out! I ended up really liking this monster a lot, and I'm stoked to share it with you. 

These golems are pretty sweet, and I can't wait to talk all about them in this weeks video. But for now, enjoy the stat block and I'll see you then!

A wild podcast appears?!

Hey everyone! A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of being on the Flumph Friends Podcast hosted by Luna, better known as Luboffin online.

The podcast is one of her Patreon rewards, but since I was her guest last week we figured it only makes sense to share it with you guys too!

So here it is, give it a listen if you enjoy podcasts! And of course you can check out Luna's channel right here if you want more: 2022-06-07 22:47:03 +0000 UTC View Post
