From the Vaults of IO, this was an item from Spire of Euclid in Phase 2 - and introduces a new concept to your 5e games - Companions!
If this were to be on the same par as Spire of Euclid, the Voidling Egg would of been Rare with a more powerful Voidling inside. However - I wanted to make this item more accessible to lower level play - allowing the introduction of companions to characters Level 1-4.
Enjoy!
Originally premiered in Deadbeats, remade for 5e games!

Howdy folks,
Today we’re going to go over about learning new items to craft. This is being used in IO as a reward of sorts for defeating powerful enemies, and will also be shown off in our next book - Fiendish Forge.
By the way - ...

Another entry from our Vaults of IO collection - this is an unreleased item form Phase 2!
I had the idea of eight remaining dragons existing in Io after the death of DIV and VOID - since dragons were so attuned with gods - most dragons would not have been able to survive. However - those that did were powerful ancient dragons - already blessed with immortality. This blessing would of been more of a curse - as primal urges would have taken over their now weakened mind. ...

Howdy folks,
We’ve recently been using the latest version of our crafting system in the Io campaigns, which has been working well. I know folks have been asking for it, so here it is! This version of our crafting system will also be featured in ou...

Our first item from the Vaults of Io is the Amulet of the Alchemist - which was featured in Phase 3's campaign - Deadbeats!
This is a great starter item, making standard potions (and even later potions) more formidable. It is limited to only the wearer benefiting from the bonus healing - which keeps the price tag down.

Howdy folks,
Today, we will discuss one of the new systems in our next book - Fiendish Forge. Since Fiendish Forge is inspired by games such as Monster Hunter, I wanted to include a carving system (what we call material gathering) that was in the same spirit and gave the same amount of enjoyment. After some experimentation within IO sessions, I feel like I’ve hammered out the system to pre-release for you all!
Material gathering...

Howdy everyone,
Wanted to let you guys know we are doing some reworking on the Patreon to give you more content to sift through.
The $10 Tier will become The Vaults of IO tier.
Starting March 6th, and then every Wednesday afterwards - we will be releasing items created from the Io Campaign - rebalanced for standard 5e TTRPGs - all with newly illustrated art as if from it's very own book!
Gamemaster Tier ($20)
The Fate Points is a ruleset we introduced in the Hardcore campaigns of D&D - also known as the “Fate Fragment” system.
The Fate Point ruleset is a great way to add some variety to your leveling up outside of the usual mechanics - adding some variety and choice - while allowing players a chance to ‘rewrite fate’ as it were.
This system works best for rulesets that allow for the rolling of stats and hit points - and works very well with the Hardcore Ruleset.
Every...

Hello!
Today, we will discuss the latest version of the Hardcore Ruleset. Like Rulesets I’ve released in the past (and will release in the future) - each one is modular - meaning - you can apply as many of these as you want to your game!
Typically - Character Creation for D&D and TTRPGs revolves around a player building their character around a concept. However, this is the reverse in Hardcore, as a concept is developed around what is created as a ...

Today, we’re going to talk about running a Level 1 game, and how to increase the odds of party survivability to what I consider to be one of the most controversial levels in 5e.
Because a player’s hit points are so low, the dice have a lot of sway of when someone will be knocked out or not. A successful hit with high rolls on the damage dice can easily lower someone’s hit points from max to unconscious in one hit - and that’s not even considering Critical Hits.
Yet, ...
