Sing a Song for These Dragons

Hey guys! This week we're diving into song dragons! Since Fizban's didn't include them, I figured I would! Stay tuned, we've got a video coming soon! 

Here is a link to the google doc version also: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T-gF9K6B8QfNUcxtNgq_2Xm-HcW6WK-5rCcwYTa5cfg/edit?usp=sharing

A constructed horror (now with 100% more soul stealing)

Hello everyone! As our final entrant for spooky month, I present, the Gloom Golem! I had put this monster on the bench for a good long while because it is thematically really awesome but the original stat block is kinda boring.  I mean, it's fine, but it doesn't really offer anything new. I finally decided it was time to take on the task of adding some new abilities to this guy and converting it, so here we are. 

See you In the video!

A Dark Rider on The Midnight Trail

Another reason not to talk to strangers! The dullahan, more commonly known as the Headless Horseman, rides again!

These guys are based on the Pathfinder stat block, and I love them! Anyone familiar with the original Irish folklore of the dulluhan or the telling of Sleepy Hollow should recognize lots of little references to the source material in this bad boy. 

Trotting to a D&D game near you, see you in the video! 

Also, here is a link to the google document ...

A GIANT problem

Hey guys,

See y'all on Thursday!

A contemplative spirit

Hello everyone! This week we're talking about the Gray Philosopher! These guys are ghosts who get so wrapped up in thinking about stuff, they just do it forever!

Really excited to talk about these monsters on Thursday, so I'll see you there!

Here is a link to the google doc stat block for those who want it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qvn3X...

Next Top 10 list

He guys, so based on the poll here a few weeks ago I have started making a few Top 10 style videos and they seem to be doing pretty well! So I wanted to ask you, my lovely patrons, what are some other Top 10 videos you'd like to see on the channel?

If you've got any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

A Crystalline Creature, and a New Player Race!

Hello everyone! This week we're talking all about the Shardmind! These fascinating psionic crystal bois are not only cool monsters, but also cool PCs! 

Apologies for being a bit behind schedule this week, things are busy on the home front. Enjoy the stuff, the PDF with all three pages is attached, and I'll see you in the video which should be up in a few hours!

Are you enjoying the Plot Hooks Extended videos?

So it's been a couple weeks, I am wondering what you guys think about the D&D monster plot hooks extended videos I've been putting out.

It's really fun for me just cause I like talking about D&D monsters, BUT, there are tons of other things I can be doing when I record with the gang, so, should I continue making those videos or move on to something else?

Tell me how/who I should collab with!

Hey guys! I've been making an effort to collaborate with other creators in the D&D YouTube space and It's been tons of fun!

What I want to know primarily is, what type of collaborative content would you like to see in the future?

Why does that slug have a sword stuck to it?

This week we're taking a look at a real interesting creature. The metalmaster is a giant slug. Ok. It also has the same superpowers as Magneto. Ok?

A truly weird creature that should mix up a lot of games! See y'all in the video this Thursday!

The uncut Skweezy Cameo

When I asked Skweezy for a cameo, I basically just told him what I needed and said to have fun with it. This is the full behind-the-scenes clip of what he sent me.

I ended up editing it down for the channel trailer, but I figured I'd share the whole thing with you guys! Skweezy is a pretty funny dude!

Something Sticky For Your Monster Manual

The web golem is a sincerely sticky situation to throw at your players. This dude has traits for days and doesn't intend on letting anyone escape his web.

See y'all on Thursday with the video!!

They're Like Lycanthropes, but Terribler

Hey guys, 

This week we're gonna be talking about the Tigbanua Buso, a pretty scary and unsettling monster originally from Filipino folklore! 

They are supremely narsty and I can't wait to tell you all about them! See ya on Thursday!

PS - There is a PDF version with both pages of the stat block attached here and also in the google drive!

The Three-Headed Wonder

Hey guys!

This week we're taking a look at one of the baddest three-headed boys this side of Faerun. See ya on Thursday!

New Content Poll!

Hey gang,

so aside from Monster of the Week, which will pretty much always be a staple of the channel, what other series are you most interested in and wanting to see more of/come back/see on the channel for the first time! 

I am in the process of ramping up my video production and hopefully branching out to explore some more D&D topics that folks might find fun, so as my lovely patrons I of course am coming directly to you!

A Horror of Flesh and Bone!

Hey guys,

This is probably in contention for one of the most disgusting monsters I have ever covered on the channel. Irnakurses are truly vile and horrific creatures. They're also sympathetic and extraordinarily tragic. I'm looking forward to talking more about them on Thursday, but until then, "enjoy" this stat block!  Thanks, Pathfinder!

Something purring in the dark?

Hey everyone! This week we're taking a look at the cat lord! This creature has a wild history and there have been many iterations of it, but I think this stat block best reflects all of those!

See you on Thursday for the video!

The Klurichir Smashes Through!

This week, we are taking a look at one of the biggest, baddest demons D&D has to offer!

The klurichir is so powerful, it demands so much respect, that even balors shrink into the shadows at its presence.

It is a 30-foot tall force of pure destruction on the battlefield, with the tactical knowhow and ruthlessness to back it up. So strong is the klurichir, it even gives some demon lords a run for their money.

The Ascomoid rolls on in!

Great balls of fungus! This bad boy is just that, and it is rolling into a dungeon near you this week! These guys are truly wild. They are a great alternative to a gelatinous cube and can be used in all manner of traps or fungal areas. 

Hope you like 'em, video is coming this week!

The Loathsome Frostforged Wyrm

Demons are literally the worst, and when they get their grubby little paws on a white dragon, they do what they do best, transforming it into an engine of pain and destruction. The Frostforged Wyrm is truly a terrible and diabolical creation from the 4E Dracnomicon. Now it's here! 

Video coming this week!

GIANT ENEMY CRAB!!!!

What's up guys! 

This week I'm coming at you with a massive crustacean! Siege crab! They're really awesome and basically function like enormous crawling tanks. I'll see you all soon to talk about them!

Ghaunadan, The Sentient Slime-Person-Thing!!!

Hey gang, 

This week we're taking a look at the sentient ooze-folk, the ghaunadan! They are really interesting creatures who can take on the visage of a humanoid as they interact with society, only to return to their underground labyrinthian homes at night and hang out with the ooze fam. 

Video coming soon!

The Goodest(?) fey

Sup gang, I know a lot of you are tired of just D&D live play stuff and have been wanting a return of Monster of the Week. So, I'm happy to announce the MotW videos will be coming back with a lot more regularity! Here is a stat block for the upcoming video!!!

The Snowcloak

Flying in from the frozen wastes to harry your adventuring party, it's the snowcloak! The latest Monster of the Week! 

These bad boys are from Frostburn, D&D 3.5, and they're not in any hurry to skedaddle, so long as the prey is plentiful!
