The Twisted Tunnels - Campaign Setting and Game Rules

DOWNLOAD THE RULES BELOW

Hey all!

Over the weekend, I worked up a new campaign setting for patrons to enjoy. Our inaugural game was on Saturday and it was a hoot. We plan to play again this coming Thursday, April 29th at 8:00 pm CST. There is also a marathon game scheduled for Saturday, May 8th from 12:00 pm CST to 12:00 am CST (split into four shifts).

The PDF attached to this post contains the rules for play as well as details on the campaign setting. ...

The Twisted Tunnels of Tupan the Turbulent Part 3/8

Hey all!

Just ran the first portion of that megadungeon you helped me build. Now it's on to part 3 (the first chunk was two pieces combined). Just like before, I need you to help me decide on the contents of this portion of the dungeon. Parts 1 and 2 had aberrations and constructs, so those won't be included in this poll. And I've removed celestials for simplicity's sake.

First place is dominant. Second place is pet/ally.

Poll - Emergency Dungeon Alert!

Following up my last post with all of you (and considering I'm trying to go a whole day without passing out midway through since I keep staying up 'til 4am every night), I thought I might busy myself by working on a dungeon for my Saturday D&D group.  The party is currently at 2nd-level.

Some of my favorite adventures that Fifth has put out are the ones in The Yawning Portal. So I figured—why not make one? They've all got simple setups, interesting floor plans, and they're re...

Druid Circle of the Wasteland | New Druid Subclass for Fifth Edition

At 2nd level, a druid gains the Druid Circle feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The Circle of Wastelands option detailed below is available to you when you make that choice.

Druid Circle of Wastelands

Wastelands, deserts, barrens. These terrain types rarely inspire hope in the living. But as a druid of the Circle of Sand, you recognize that even the cruelest biomes hold wonder and magic. And as a druid of this circle, you draw on the elemental powers of the wast...

I apologize - no more "half adventures."

Hey all,

I want to apologize for the last two releases. I didn't realize that the collaborators were giving me half adventures until it was close to time to release them. This decision came from within our organization, so I don't blame the collaborators. 

Even still, I should have made the call and said no to the concept straight away. So I take full blame.

I've made it very clear that I won't be doing this again as it harms this brand more than it boosts the collabora...

One Word Prompt Time for The Silver Pyramid

Hey all!

I've got a big ol' pyramid to fill with all sorts of dangers. I wanted to make this one pretty unique with lots of crazy death traps, horrible monsters, etc. I'll need some one word prompts from all you.

The usual rules apply.

1) Everyone gets one word.

2) No proper nouns.

3) Keep it clean.

Looking forward to seeing what you throw at me.

[Poll] Desert-themed Subclass Poll

Taking a break from my normal projects, I'm still poking around with desert-themed stuff for The Burning Borderlands (BSM #17).

What desert-themed subclass would you like to see? This poll is quick and will end tonight around midnight (CST) so I can launch it tomorrow.

Saguaron Playable Race

DOWNLOAD THE PDF BELOW

Some folks call them cactusfolk. These same people assume that these tall, green plant-humanoid hybrids have personalities as prickly as their hides. Of course, locals who know them by their chosen name—saguarons—recognize members of this exotic race as loyal, thoughtful, and resolute.

Desert Warriors

As one might guess, saguarons thrive in hot, sun-soaked environments where water is scarce. Many desert travelers share stories of...

Desert Races Poll

Hey all!

Here's the poll for the desert races based on your calls for suggestions from earlier. Pick the one you like the best. It's a quick poll, so pick quick (sorry Euros, I know this is late for you, but I plan on writing this tonight).

Hope you're having a good day so far.

What sort of desert-thriving species would you like to play in a game?

Let me know below in the comments. After we get a few ideas, I'll hold a poll.

Looking forward to it!

The new Dungeons & Lairs series keeps moving forward. In week one, you all voted on skeletons; Skeleton Tomb should be out this week.

Now, into week three,...
