Poll #199 - More Monsters Series: What's Next?

Hey all!

I'm pretty excited to announce that we're going to be doing a More Monsters series.

These variants are based on the 4th Edition "monster roles" rules, which are actually pretty cool. That means each monster will get an elite version, skirmisher, controller, legendary, and s...

Poll #198 - Aegreyan Subclass

Hey all!

The volcanic island of Aegreya lies a few miles off The Summer Land’s Coast. Known as the last refuge of the dragons, it is home to the Great Chromatics and their progeny. After their defeat during the War of the Burning Plain, the dragons fled to nigh inhabitable island to lick their wounds. In the s...

Usual rules apply:

1) One word per patron. Leave your word down in the comments. No cheating with compound words!

2) Nothing anachronistic.

Leave a single word down in the comments below. I'll turn it into a room in the night hag's lair.

1) One word per patron. That includes trying to be sneaky and smooshing a bunch of words together with hyphens or no spaces.

2) Keep it clean. This is a family restaurant.

Poll #195 - Adventure Name Choice

Looks like Tom's Frontier map will be the focus of our August collaboration. Since this will be a story driven adventure, I want to give it one of my spell name titles. I've generated 5 random spell names from the players' handbook. This will not only serve as the adventure's name, but also as the main theme of the adventure. 

Pick the one that you like best. Voting ends in 24 hours.
