[Major Poll!] BroadSword Monthly Adventure Path #1

Hey folks!

Hope you're having a BAD-ASS day. This poll is a pretty big deal, as it will help dictate the course of the content's flow for the next six months and potentially shape the campaign that you run for your players.

Starting soon, I'll be crafting a 6-part adventure path that will appear exclusively in BroadSword Monthly (don't worry folks who don't get BSM, we'll make sure you can scope out the content beforehand to make a good buying decision). 

Announcements!

Hey all!

Some big announcements coming from the DMDave Team.

Print-Friendly Content

First thing’s first. Starting this Friday we’re going to be offering a new benefit for all of you: print-friendly versions of our PDFs. All Patrons at the $7 tier and up will receive the option to print the adventures in black/white format sans unnecessary images to help you save on ink. You should see a tier that reads “PRINT FRIENDLY VERSION” when these appear. 2022-02-07 22:02:23 +0000 UTC View Post

Word Prompt #68 - Abandoned Fortress

Hey all!

I'm on a roll this week. Got another for you: abandoned fortress. There are a ton of areas here, so Ima needs some great word prompts.

Leave a word down in the comments. I'll make an area based on your word.

Rules:

• 1) Keep it clean
• 2) No proper nouns
• 3) Nothing anachronistic
• 4) One word per patron
• 5) No "defenestration" (this place doesn't even have windows)

I look forward to you guys' wacky words!

One Word Prompt #67 - Alien Tower

Hey everyone!

I've got another adventure I'm working on, this time set in a strange, alien tower. So that means I need some cool one-word prompts from all of you.

Here's how it works: leave a single word down in the comments below. I'll create an area keyed to your word.

Usual rules apply:

• 1) No proper nouns
• 2) Keep it clean
• 3) Nothing too anachronistic (although, this one does have a bit of a sci-fi element to it)
• 4) One word per patro...

One Word Prompt #66 - Casino Heist!

Hey all!

I'm working on a pretty dang important adventure and I could use some one-word prompts from you.

If this is your first time, here's how it works. Leave a word down in the comments. I'll create a room based on that word.

Here are some rules:

• 1) No proper nouns
• 2) Keep it clean
• 3) Nothing too anachronistic
• 4) One word per patron
• 5) I'm kinda over the word "defenestration", so I'm liable to skip it

Monster Lairs Poll #32 and Dungeons & Lairs Index

Hey all!

Thanks for voting in our last poll to help us decide our next monster lair. Looks like mimics won out, which means you'll be getting some sort of crazy mansion filled with mimics. Both oni and purple worms survived to the next round.

This post will decide the next *three* monster lairs that will follow those listed below. Pick the one that you like best. The top three get made and the rest get cut.

This poll will end in one week to give everyone ple...

One Word Prompt #65 - Great Old One Adventure

Hey all!

I'm working on a nifty little adventure that should release next week featuring some good ol' Great Old Ones.  Our friend Tom Cartos has a pretty big map for me to fill, so I'm going to need some one-word prompts from all of you.

In the comments, leave a single word comment. I'll take your word and create an area using it.

Usual rules apply:

Monster Lairs Poll #31 and Dungeons & Lairs Index

Hey all!

Thanks for voting in our last poll to help us decide our next monster lair. Looks like owlbears won out, which means you'll be getting a cave with some grumpy owlbears! Mimics continue to hang on and they're joined by oni; both move on to the next poll.

Below, vote for the monster you want to see get its own Dungeons & Lairs style module. Voting ends soon, so vote quick! Top choice wins, and anything with 20% or more of the vote moves on to the next p...

Monster Lairs Poll #30 and Dungeons & Lairs Index

Hey all!

Thanks for voting in our last poll to help us decide our next monster lair. Looks like minotaurs won out, which means I'll be making us a maze! Mimics came in second with over 20%, so they'll move on to this poll.

Poll #225 - Gamemaster's Survival Guide #2

Hey all!

If you haven't been following, I've been working my way through the very first Gamemaster's Survival Guide 02-30: Writing 5e Adventures. It will be live on Kickstarter as soon as the other two Kickstarters finish up. We estimate this will be sometime in March.

In the meantime, you can check out all the content on my Instagram.

With that content about to wrap up, it's time for me to ...

Monster Lairs Poll #29 and Dungeons & Lairs Index

Hey all!

Thanks for voting in our last poll to help us decide our next monster lair. Looks like mind flayers won out, which means I'll put that together via the Fan Content Policy. It looks like both merfolk and mimics got the runner-up spots, so they'll move on to the next poll.

One Word Prompt #64 - Mind Flayer Lair

Hey all!

Mind flayer is pretty dang far ahead on the latest poll, so I've already broken ground on it. Even if somehow doesn't win, who cares? Who doesn't like a good mind flayer adventure? In fact... are there even any mind flayer adventures?

I've got a pretty cool map from one of my favorite folks, Tim Hartin. It's got 32 unique locations to fill.

Suggest a word down in the comments and I'll turn it into a room of the mind flayer layer.

Usual rules apply:

Monster Lairs Poll #20

Hey all!

This is the last poll of the night, I swear. (Family's got COVID and I'm bored.)

The last two polls already show some pretty convincing trends: folks like the Dungeons & Lairs content and they like them to have 6-8 encounters. 

So, keeping that in mind, I'm reviving the old monster lairs poll. 

Pick the ones that you like best. 

• The one with the most votes gets made.
• Any that get more than 20% move on to the next poll.&n...

Poll #222 - Adventure Length Poll

Hey hey again,

Unsurprisingly, adventures are the most popular choice for many of you awesome patrons. Therefore, I'll be focusing a bit more there (probably about a 3/4 ratio with what I release each month). 

With that said, how long do you prefer your adventures? Below, I've given three choices. Feel free to add any additional varieties that you like.

Poll #221 - What kind of content do you want?

Hey all!

There's a lot of new folks here along with the old tried and true gang. I think January is as good as time as any to see what kind of content people want to read in the next few weeks. 

Below I've offered some suggestions for stuff that I'm toying around with here, on Instagram, and in my massive backlog (you think I write a lot? you should see the stuff that never sees the light of day!)

Keep in mind that:
