Sometimes called bone weirds or bonepiles, boneyards are fierce undead creatures imbued with the ferocity of the mightiest dragon and the cunning of an ancient lich. In its resting state, a boneyard resembles a huge pile of bones. However, its fluid nature allows it to take on the form of a mighty serpent, dragon, or any other form it pleases. Although its size varies, "full grown" boneyards are approximately 20-cubic-feet and weigh. While assuming a monstrous form, the boneyard can stand as ...

Hey all!
I'm a little behind on releases mostly because I've been focusing on some of the larger PDFs coming out this month including our TOP SECRET awesome book and Legends of Omeria, both of which should drop either tomorrow or early next week.
I've also got a few new adventures in the fire both from myself as well as the collaborators. If you haven't seen, I've also got two big projects working: First up, the writers and I have completed Vaskil Valley: Wrath of the Wyvern Kings...

Hey all!
I write a lot of tier 1 content because 1) it's easy lol and 2) there's a pretty high demand for it. However, I thought I'd branch out a bit and see what you all are looking for.
Anyways, let me know what content you'd like to see with this poll.

Hey all!
We're working on a Mythic Monster Hunter-style game for Roll20 and hope to get some feedback from all of you on subclasses. Currently, I've got a Mythic Ranger Monster Hunter (seemed the obvious choice) scheduled. But I want to see what others you'd like with the release of the game.
I've listed the other 11 classes below (I can't do Artificer since it's not SRD). The three that get the most votes will get made.
Looking forward to seeing what you like!

Skeleton's convinced the children that their world is nothing more than an elaborate illusion from which they must escape (but secretly never can). This deception grants Uncle Skeleton control over their powers and allows him to construct exquisite re...

Nuckelavees are horrific demons that resemble one-eyed, skinless warhorses. A man's equally skinless torso rises from the center of the creature's equine spine; this torso terminates in a gaping maw, lacking eyes.
Of all the horrible things created to serve the danaavrakti of The Obsidian Plain, nuckelvees are always considered the worst—perhaps even more despicable than the danaavrakti themselves. Nuckelvees led throngs of fiends from the Dripping Portal at Shred into The Wither and ...

A saguaron is a huge variety of desert cactus given sentience by the efreeti that once inhabited the Desolation of Ditimaya. These neutral, gentle plant creatures still thrive in the deserts that cover most of the central Omeria. Saguarons are extremely long-lived, living 200 years or more. Like the cacti they closely resemble, the older a saguaron is, the taller it is. The oldest saguarons can grow to be 30 feet tall or taller, towering over even the largest desert giants.

Long horns, leathery wings, and a twisted, ghoulish face—it's no wonder these creatures are often mistaken for fiends. However, chiros—or batfolk, as they're often labeled—are actually humanoids.
Habitat/Society. Tribal creatures, chiros live in small family groups called cauldrons, ranging between 10-20 adults with half as many children. Cauldrons are usually led by their strongest warriors. It's not uncommon for a cauldron to be led by a rare albino chi...

Horrible things lurk in the The Other, the endless sea of shadow at the edge of reality. The shadow symbiote is one such horror. At first glance, these fiends resemble ordinary undead shadows. That's a mistake, of course—they lack the same sunlight weakness common shadows do. In addition, they feed of the despair and sadness they create and prefer to keep their prey alive as long as possible. Thus, they have more in common with parasites.
Shadow symbiotes latch onto unsuspecting creat...

I'll be cracking into new content for January this week, so I'll need some monster requests from all of you.
Below, give me a short (preferably Twitter-length, 140-characters or so) description of a monster. A few rules:
1) No intellectual property. IE, don't ask for Wolverine, Batman, etc. Also, a few 5e monsters can't be used due to the SRD—as much as I'd like to, I can't use beholders, mind flayers, etc.
2) Keep it clean!
3) No controversial s...

Sorcery is a mixed bag, granting certain blessed individuals powerful arcane abilities. However, there are a few instances where a sorcerer might actually become blessed with "too much magic." When this occurs, the blood itself becomes sentient and escapes the sorcerer (typically killing the sorcerer in the process). These wild magic storms appear to be small, floating clouds of blood that crackle with arcane energy.
Once freed of their host, the wild magic storms set out looking for mo...

Also known as fools or court jesters, jesters are specialized entertainers who act as members of a noble or monarch's household staff. They also entertain the common folk in town and at marketplaces, and often travel with troupes or carnivals.
Generally, a jester wears motley clothing, eccentric hats, and makeup or masks that makes a caricature of a strong emotion such as happiness or sadness. They're prone to outbursts of singing, joke-telling, or even speaking in riddles. Many jesters...
