Hey all!
Today, while working on the new Omeria book, I started wondering—what kind of adventures do my patrons really like?
I love polls. Polls give me an idea of exactly what you all like. That way, I can continue to make those things.
Here's a few suggestions below. Thanks for your feedback!

Hey all!
Production is well underway on Pexia's Guide to Omeria which will debut on Kickstarter on May 5, 2021. Above, I've posted a link to the timeline myself and the Discord Loremasters just put together.
While there's sure to be far more events posted, so far we've collected a total of ~160 bits of history for the Omeria and Casar. This includes a lot of the details from the past adventures and monster lore blocks, as well as all new stuff.
Keep an eye out...

The overcrow looks like a mundane crow with a glowing red pustule growing out of its head. Of course, it is much more than just an ordinary blackbird. The overcrow possesses such a strong sense of self-awareness that any creature that comes within 100 feet of it begins to believe that it, too, is a crow.
One may wonder, "Where did overcrows come from?" The last scholar who asked this brave question returned from a 10-year quest gibbering like a loon. All he could say was "CHAR-LO-MAIN!"...

We're brainstorming the goods for the upcoming Kickstarter books and needed some ideas for different rogue subclasses to bring into the books. Wizards has done a pretty good job covering all the bases, so we weren't sure what to go with. That's why we decided to turn to you.
What sort of rogue subclass would you like to see in Fifth Edition?

That night in Medrok started like any other night. The air was cool and quiet. What few clouds dotted the night sky did little to block the fat, white moon and twinkling stars above. Children lay in their beds dreaming of heroes slaying dragons while the citizens of Medrok gathered around fires to unwind after a long week’s worth of work.
But then the screaming started. A black mist bled down the streets of Medrok. It seeped around c...

Hey everyone!
A quick update to the upcoming content slate. After Queen of the Shadows comes out tomorrow and Awaken hits next week, I'm going to spend the next 60 days or so focusing primarily on Omeria content. That means more Omeria lore, monsters, player options, and of course, Hand of the Eight.

So here's the adjusted slate with new dates:
The inaks (EE noks) are an intelligent undead species that haunt the tunnels below the northern portion of the Basilisk's Spine Mountains. Superficially, they appear to be skeletons bound together by thick, boiled leather. However, their skeletal structures consist of more than just humanoid bones. Inaks build themselves out of any parts they have available. One inak may have the head of a ram with six long appendages while another may crawl like a scorpion and have a six-foot-long neck termi...

The Cave of Caerbannog is the home of the Legendary Black Beast of Arrrghhh (named for the last utterance of anyone who ever saw it). This is guarded by a monster which is initially unknown.
King Arthur and his knights are led to the cave by Tim the Enchanter and find that they must face its guardian beast. Tim verbally paints a picture of a terrible monster with “nasty, big, pointy teeth!”, so terrifying that Sir Robin soils his armor at the mere description.

Tonight, I spent a few hours planning out the big Omeria book we're going to Kickstart in May so I can figure out what resources we need, what materials we need to curate, and so forth. Since I've always been one who enjoys sharing my process, I figured: "Why not share this with everyone else so they can get a good look at what to expect from this huge tome?"
Also, I get asked a lot how I write the stuff I do. This document should serve as a "Rosetta Stone" to the way I think. I l...

If you didn't hear the big news, our next major Kickstarter campaign will be a two book set that includes a book detailing the world of Omeria, Pexia's Guide to Omeria, and the completion of Hand of the Eight in 10 lovely chapters.
Be sure to follow the Kickstarter project for updates. Plus, we're offering 20% off early bird special for the first 125 backers. Also, it'd be super awesome if you could start sharing so we can get as many eyeballs as we possibly can on ...

It's official, folks.
Our next Kickstarter will be a two-book set. The first book, Pexia's Guide to Omeria, will have all of the Omeria lore put together into one book. The second book, Tales of Omeria: Hand of the Eight, will feature the full 1st-10th-level adventure path.
Stay tuned for details.

Coming in May, this Fifth Edition adventure takes three to five 1st-level characters all the way to 11th-level. The characters must find the last ten dragons in existence in order to stop an army of unstoppable demonic forces who seek to enslave their world. It takes place in a brand new epic fantasy world developed by myself and Torchlight Press and features 10 unique dragons.
More details coming soon.
Release Date: May 2021
Okay, so I took some of the ideas from the call for suggestions and added them to the poll below. I also tossed in my own idea (can you guess which one it is). Sorry I couldn't add every idea to the poll! There were a lot of good ones! Just had to pick the ones that I hadn't really tackled before.
Vote on the idea you like the best. Poll ends tomorrow at 8:00 pm CST.

Now that Mechagnome is out, it's time to figure out our next major adventure. I don't really have any ideas cooking, so I'll turn to you all to see what you're interested in.
I probably won't do a megadungeon (sorry, they're just tough to do and I hate making promises I can't keep... or at least, I'm trying not to anymore) and Hot8 will probably be the next major Kickstarter...
But otherwise, I'm open for whatever.

Right now, the poll on a second class has worldbuilding at 50%+, a clear winner. Looks like y'all want to know about worldbuilding! While I can go on at length about different parts of the subject, I'm interested in knowing your actual questions.
Drop a question below that pertains to worldbuilding and I'll try to get an answer for you as soon as possible.
Looking forward to learning what you want to know!

You voted for it, you got it.
At the end of April, I'll be releasing this wild story, Wandrossa's End. It will be an adventure that takes characters from 17th-level to 20th-level (and possibly beyond) and will be set in my own version of the Feywild. Plus, since Far Realm is so darn close to winning, too, it'll involve the Far Realm as well. I'll be pulling pretty heavily from '80s high fantasy movie influences such as Labyrinth, Legend, and Neverending Story....
