HERE BE DRAGONS

Hey guys, this week I am working on the dueling Sun and Moon dragons! Two brand new dragons straight from spelljammer. 

I'm just making up the statblock for the Sun Dragon now, so feel free to lurk and provide feedback in the discord! The Moon Dragon will be started later this evening! 

See ya there!

The Palimpsest

What the heck is a palimpsest you ask?

Allow me to explain, because there is a lot to unpack.

In the real world a palimpsest is an old piece of parchment that has the top layer (where all the script is) scraped off so it can be used again. The idea behind this creature is that after countless years of this happening with magic script, the magic has seeped into the parchment itself and now IT'S ALIVE!!!!!

I can't wait to tell you all about it in this week's video!

MAN EATING PAPER

The palimpsest is in the works! You can check out the statblock here as I edit it in real time!

Upcoming Content

Hey guys, 

this month I have some extra time on my hands so I am going to be bringing back the second weekly video! MY question for you is, what would you like to see the most?

View Post

The Time Elemental

Just in TIME.... get it because time elementals...

But seriously here it is, the latest and greatest, the time elemental! These guys are pretty (potentially) nasty, and they can make for some pretty unique moments. I'm looking forward to seeing how you all make use of them! 

NEW: If you're using D&D Beyond and would like to add this creature to your collection, you can find it right here -> 2019-05-29 15:36:52 +0000 UTC View Post

The Snallygaster

Bloodthirsty, and ready for a drink! The snallygaster approaches! 

These peculiar flying monstrosities have a penchant for sucking down both blood and ale. You had best be prepared to give one to save the other! Bane of tavern keepers all across the realm, the snallygaster is nothing to take light hearted. The video will be up shortly! See you all then!

PS: There is an alternate version of the Rasclinn statblock available now in the google drive! I'm always going back and up...

A Monster to Make Roadrunner Blush

This rasclly little rascal is the rasclinn! A dune running hunters nightmare. These guys were a ton of fun to convert from the OG darksun setting, so hopefully you like them to! The final version which will launch alongside the video is even going to have a little magic item as part of the statblock so stay tuned for the update. Until then!

New monster in the works!

Hwy folks, just a quick update, I didn't end up having time to make the monster statblock today (thanks power outage), but I did at least get all the numbers and whatnot done, so here is a sneak peak at the next creature coming up in a couple days! The full fancy shmancy statblock should be all done by tomorrow. Enjoy!

The Nicest Undead You've Ever Met - HUMBABA

Hey guys! All the way from the depths of dragon magazine, I have a new undead creature for you. These guys are unique in that they aren't necessarily the bad guys! Hope you enjoy, and the video will be following shortly!

Candlewax Golems Abound!

Hello everyone! Allow me to introduce you to our newest member of the Dungeon Dad monster menagerie, the candlewax golem! This is a mostly original monster inspired by the Candle Golem from Penumbra. I have made a ton of changes and I'm really happy with how it came out. I'm also thinking that I might try to make more of an effort to include a section on what materials can be harvested from the monsters your PCs (or maybe you!) slay. What do you guys think?

In any case the video is on...

A New Dawn

Hey everyone! So I apologize for the total lack of content this week. It has been an insane time in life for me and I just haven’t been able to get anything done.


My muggle work schedule has been changed around a bunch as I’m doing a different job (within the same company) now, I’ve been moving into a new house, and I’ve also been painting/fixing said new house. All in all it has been a lot of late nights and long days just trying to get everything in order.

Wichtlin

From the pages of Dragonlance, to your D&D table! 

Sorry I am a few days behind with this one folks, the past week has been a real doozy, but hopefully you enjoy this fine fellow. The art is maybe one of the goofiest things I've ever seen but I really love this monster and I'm sure your players will get a kick out of it, at least until it starts assimilating the elf. The video is on its way! See ya there!

Namorrodor

Straight to your gaming tables, from Australian Aboriginal mythology, comes a brand new fey creature for D&D. Following the style of the last monster I did, this critter is a wholly original creation from a real-world folktale. I hope you enjoy it!

Gashadokuro

The biggest thing you'll never see. 

This week I am doing a little experiment. Instead of creating a statblock for a classic D&D creature,, I created a statblock for a classic Japanese myth! Let me know what you think!

Who's that at the door? It's the Murska!

It creeps, it crawls, it impersonates your friends! It's the murska! These gnarly beetle monsters literally are what they eat, and they are horrific! 

I look forward to talking all about them this week!

The Obliviax!

Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the latest Monster of the Week reveal post. 

This week's monster is an old favourite, and one that can be found all across D&D. The Obliviax Memory Moss! I hope you enjoy it, and don't forget you can find all of the D&D stat blocks in the patreon google drive folder. Have a great day!

KAIJU

Hey guys! So I apologize immensely for my lack of presence, and I thank you all for sticking by me. This month that I've been away for work, I've been pulling 60 hour work weeks and it has left me with almost no time for doing what I actually want to be doing. That said, the long haul is almost over. I'll be back home in 10 days, and then we'll be back to business as usual. 

In the mean time, here is a link to what I've been working on. It was probably not the smartest idea to take on one...

Muggle jobs

Hey everyone, just as a heads up I am currently travelling for work until the end of the month, which means living out of a suitcase. I did, however, bring my computer with me so I still intend on making videos. I just want to apologize if I’m not uploading as regularly. We’ll be back to normal in November, I love you all.

The Hundun

From the depths of whatever came before time and space, comes the hundun. In a similar vein to the spellweavers, these creatures come to us from the Lovecraftian worlds of ancient gods and empty vistas. 

Enjoy, I look forward to talking all about them in tomorrow's video!

Monster of the Week - The Janni

The latest and greatest Mosnter of the Week!

View Post

By The Elements Combined!

It's time for the janni to make their 5E debut! What's a janni you ask? basically, it's a genie comprised of all four elements! Hope you like it, and hopefully you've got a desert looking for new tenants.

Ilithid Dragons? But Why?

What a task this one turned out to be. I proudly present the brainstealer dragon! This is what happens when you mix mind flayers with the most deadly creatures in the title of the game! Oh my! Here are three full pages on which you will find statblocks for all four different age categories, a writeup, regional effects, and of course lair actions. I hope you like it, and I can't wait to talk about it in tomorrows video!


Please see all three images attached below!

The Return of a Classic!

What's worse than a rust monster you ask? More dastardly than the disenchanter? Why, it's the Aurumvorax! 

This eight armed critters dine on gold and the foolish meat bags who carry it. They're kind of like a dire honey badger that wanted to be an octopus. Any way you slice it, horrifying. 

Hopefully you enjoy, and the video will be out shortly!

A Shocking Little Lizard!

This week we have a small but feisty little creature coming your way! One of my personal favourites from 3.5, the shocker lizard! These guys are truly awesome, and I can't wait to tell you all about them in this weeks video! Until then! 

View Post

The Light of Amoth

The light of Amoth has risen from 4th edition, and brought us another elemental! These guys belong to a very weird group of monsters known as apocalypse spells. They are literally monsters that gained sentience in the aftermath of a crazy powerful spell that killed a demon lord! Much more on them and more in the near future, but for now enjoy that statblock! 

View Post

New Gear!

I owe each and every one of you a massive thanks. Because of your support, I was able to purchase a new camera to film the show. The first episode since it arrived just went live, and it has made a huge difference. I honestly don't have the words to express how grateful I am. All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I hope you enjoy the stuff I make.

Slidikin!

The slidikin is here, all the way from Numenera! This myriad of mouths is sure to mix up your D&D game. The video all about these folks will be here soon!

The Visilight

Hey guys! Brand new monster of the week coming at ya! 

The visilight is not only spooky looking, but has a ton of potential for all kinds of situations. Looking forward to giving you the lowdown on what I think is a really newt mid-tier creature. Enjoy the statblock, and you can expect the video up this weekend. Until then!

A comprehensive place for statblocks.

Hey guys! I have come up with a solution for something I have been thinking about for awhile. Since I started doing the patron statblocks, the only way to really have easy access to them was to either save the images for yourself, or to go digging through tons of posts when you needed to bring the images up.

What I've done, is set up a google drive that will be storing all of the monster statblocks I post here, so everything will be in one easy to find and convenient location. This should also...
