This post contains all of DMDave's content organized for your benefit first by type (Dungeons & Lairs, Asset Packs, Books, etc.) and then by patron tier availability.
Latest Update: May 20, 2023
Below, when a patron tier has a "+" sign beside it, that means the listed tier plus all other tiers beyond it have access to the content. For example, Silver+ means that Silver, Electrum, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond have access to that content.

Hey folks!
Just a heads-up, I'm reorganizing the tiers, so if things look wonky for a minute, that's why. Once I'm done fiddling around, I'll make an official announcement on the changes.
Thanks!

Hey everyone!
The next Just Passing Through will be the highly anticipated cities version of the book. After that's finished, I'm unsure which direction to go next with the series. Below, I've listed some ideas. Pick the one that you like best.
If you have any additional suggestions, let me know down in the comments.

Hey everyone!
Thought I might go ahead and share with you all the upcoming slate of books coming your way in 2023. As I noted in my other post, I'll be focusing on three series:
- Dungeons & Lairs (Fifth Edition)
- Just Passing Through (System Agnostic)
- Horror (Year Zero Engine)
I've also left some space for "interesting projects" which will include things like Badge Quest, Cats vs Evil, Starfinder, Vaesen, Dragonbane, and more.

Hey folks!
What a wild year it's been.
We started things off with the fear that Wizards of the Coast was going to make it impossible for us to create content and ended up defeating the dragon, so to speak. However, the entire OGL fiasco left a pretty horrible taste in my mouth, not just with the company but the entire brand, which is sad, considering that I've been playing the game since 1991 or so.
We will continue to make 5e content for the foreseeable future.

Hey all!
If you didn't hear the news, I'm opening up a retail store to serve as my base of operations, fulfillment center, and retail store. This spot will be in my town of Norman, Oklahoma. It's relatively small to start—I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew with the first outing—but will focus almost exclusively on roleplaying games.
Keeping that in mind, how would you like to see such a store organized? I've got a few ideas on how I want to do it, but I'm k...

The Hills Have Eyes! John Webb and I are putting together a particularly large adventure module to be released... well, at some point in the near future. It features a bunch of mutated miners who've come to enjoy the taste of human flesh. We've got five total levels on this bad boy, so I will need some one-word prompts.
Here's how it works:

Well, maybe.
With desert close to wrapping up (we're 3/5 of the way through) and grasslands already under construction, it's time, once again, to start thinking about the next batch of Dungeons/Lairs critters. This time it's hills!
Below I've listed 15 monsters common in hills that we haven't already done in another series.

Hey all!
After publishing three books this week (woof), I thought I might make a quickie horror module using my horror ruleset. Our buddy Tom Cartos just put out a couple of maps. One of a gas station and one of a retro diner—I plan to do both, but will start with the diner. I plan to have something crazy happen at the diner, forcing the people there to band together to fight whatever it is. Kinda like the Mist or Night of the Living Dead.

A bit of a spoiler, but we'll be making content for Paizo's Starfinder soon. The content we're going to create will be very similar to the Dungeons & Lairs series, focusing on a single creature in the Starfinder universe in its ideal habitat.

We're starting to put together the Ostenwold series and have the first locations picked out. However, we don't have an underlying theme for the series and its villain in place yet. This will be sort of the reason behind all the stuff that's happening in the village which will come to a head in the third (or fourth) part of the series.
Below, I've picked the most common villain themes. Pick the one you like best.

Hey all,
I've been chatting with our dear friend, Tom Cartos (you know... that map-makin' British dude we always partner up with), and we've been thinking about creating one or more books based on the Ostenwold series of locations. Ostenwold would operate both as the home base as well as the site for adventures. Those who've been with me long enough may remember I attempted this once with Qua-Soko Unveiled but didn't go all the way with it. I'll be attempting something ...
