A DMDave Comic Book is Coming!

Hey all!

Nacho Lazaro and I are teaming up to create a comic book based on my adventures. The only problem is... which story should it be? Below are a few options I'm kicking around. I'm interested to see which ones you all choose.

Note: this comic won't cut into the content production here as I'm bringing on additional content creators starting in April.

Kaldrfjell is a Fifth Edition adventure designed for three to seven players of 5th to 7th level. It is optimized for a party of five characters with an average party level (APL) of 5. Parties with a cleric or paladin as well as those equipped with magic items will have an easier time than those without. This campaign is set in the DMDave campaign world of Omeria, but you’re free to set it anywhere that you like.

One Word Prompts for The Treasure

Hey all!

Got a helluva adventure that I'm adding super quick to the March slate. The premise is simple—what happens when a 1st-level party comes across a huge pile of gold and magic items?

The adventure starts with a fun dungeon romp. So I need some one word prompts.

Usual rules apply:

• One word per patron
• Keep it clean
• No proper nouns

Gimme them words in the comments!

Huge Announcement! Foundry VTT is coming this Friday!

Big news everyone!

We're FINALLY adding Foundry files to our benefits. We're going to start with one of our most famous adventures, Kaldrfjell and start putting them out fairly regularly after that.

Here's how it will work:

Upcoming Projects Slate (March 16th, 2021)

Hey all!

Happy middle-of-March! In recent weeks, we've been pivoting more towards highly-polished, tight releases. So more quality less quantity, as it were. Anyways, this is everything that's currently in the works from us along with the current status on each. Keep in mind that this doesn't include other content that we might slip in as a surprise.  This is stuff that is 99.9% for sure coming. 

Let me know what you think down in the comments!

Our next Kickstarter project? You choose!

As Legends of Omeria enters the final stages of development, we're now looking toward our next major project. We know that we want the next project to be a book since we can easily fulfill those without any issue. However, we're stuck on two projects that we're interested in doing.

Since all of you are incredibly important to us, we want to know what you think should be our next project. Below are two mock-up covers I've created for books we're itching to write. Let me know which one yo...

BroadSword #12 is shipping!

Hey all!

To everyone who was subscribed to Gold+ in February, the latest issue of BroadSword Monthly—the Milestone 12th issue!—just hit our shipping facility and is ready to head out.

Thanks all for your patience! This one included the Blutstrom content (us toying with the connected series a la Vaskil), so it's got all the demon-loving goodness anyone could ask for.

Looking forward to putting it in your hands, folks! <3

What have you all unleashed? (Sneak Peak)

So you voted for Dark Fantasy (with some Swashbuckling).

Then you voted for sixth level.

Then the DMG gave me a bunch of cool random results involving a cursed humanoid obsessed with bringing a loved one back to life who uses famine to cause chaos (and might be seeking revenge).

So I put this little mock-up together. Hope y'all are ready... for Queen of the Shadows.

I'm shooting for a release probably at the end of the month!

What Level for the Next Adventure?

Looks like we're going to be doing Dark Fantasy with a mix of Swashbuckling for the new adventure.

For which level should I write this adventure (at least to start)?

My Next Adventure!

Hey all!

I just wrapped up the draft on my GaryCon tournament module, Vault of Terror, which will debut in two weeks. In April, I plan on writing Awaken which will debut sometime in the early part of the month along with a bunch of other nifty Mystery Island content (BSM 15's theme).

But I need something to work on in the meantime. Below are a few ideas I have kicking around for a shorter adventure (probably 1-2 levels). Which would you like to see?

I thought I might pick on...

To whoever it was who chose "bunnies" as a prompt...

Although I can't share what this means (yet), this is one of the biggest riddles that appears in the upcoming tournament module I'm writing for GaryCon XIII, The Vault of Terror.

So if you're the one who chose the word "bunnies", congratulations. You've frustrated hundreds of future players of this module. ;)

Tomb of Horrors - An Analysis by DMDave

A big part of my job involves reading and analyzing adventures throughout the history of the game. As I'm starting to prepare my next module The Vault of Terror for GaryCon '21, I wanted to breakdown a similar module. So I chose Tomb of Horrors, the classic dungeon romp written by Gary himself waaay back in 1975 for Origins 1. 

Originally, Tomb of Horrors was played as a tournament module. Basically, players were to test their wits against the dangerous d...

For what level should The Vault of Terror be?

The Vault of Terror is coming!

I'm hosting a game for PLATINUM and LEGENDARY patrons on March 25th, 2021 at 12:00pm CST for GaryCon 2021. This game will call back to legendary tournament modules like Tomb of Horrors and The Hidden Shrine of Tamachoan. That means lots of traps, lots of secrets, and lots of puzzles! The party will be scored on h...
