Hey all,
I'm working on a MASSIVE release. This thing is HUGE. It's top secret, so I can't give too much away, but this will probably be the biggest release I've ever done and it won't be out 'til Monday or so.
As such, I'm focusing exclusively on it this weekend.
If any of you need anything from me, send me a ping. And expect some monsters tomorrow!
Thanks all... much love! <3

Ong-ongs, the unusual, fur-covered dwarves that live in the southern edge of the Wallingmiotta, are known for their love of nature. So, it's not uncommon they are surrounded by animals. One can easily find small creatures like squirrels, rabbits, skunks, and small lizards in their homes. There are even a few animals (and animal-like plants) that ong-ongs love, such as the mist dogs and bobo cats.

Vadriken's adventure continues on page 2. Last we saw Vadriken, he'd crash-landed in the Basilisk's Spine Mountains. Now it appears that he's made some new friends.
This comic series is a collaborative effort between myself and Bodieh, one of the interior artists for BroadSword Monthly.

The Demiplane of Shadow is home to countless spiteful creatures whose cruelty is limited only by their imagination. While it's unusual for shadowkind to band together, occasionally a singular goal will arise that will draw multiple forces together. When this happens, the races of shadow might build a fortress of shadow. United under one dark roof, the creatures of shadow can plan, prepare, and execute their depraved designs.
This side trek is designed...

Owing their origins to the latent transmutation energies that swirl through the endless black of The Other, vanliorn are pale, intelligent reptilian humanoids.
One of the vanliorns' most shocking traits is their unbridled wickedness. Devoid of empathy, vanliorns view all lives other than their own as a wretched mistake that should be erased, manipulated, or extorted. Shadow goblins, in particular, fear the vanliorns, as the vanliorns often capture and enslave them.

Vanliorns are pale, reptilian humanoids who inhabit The Other, the Realm of Shadow. Unlike lizardfolk, half-dragons, and dragonborn, vanliorns do not owe their existence to a draconic bloodline. Instead, they were mundane reptiles mutated and given cruel intelligence by the latent transmutation energy that pervades The Other. They are wellknown for their depravity.
Black Glass Mountain. While Vanliorn can be found at all corners of The Ot...

I'm looking to put together a Frequently-Asked-Questions guide for Hand of the Eight. I have a few that I can think of, but what are some questions that you've had that I can help answer?
Let me know in the comments below! I'll add your question to the FAQ.
Thanks!

Uncle Skeleton is putting out the request again for one word prompts! If you're a long time DMDave follower, you know what to do: gimme a single word. Anything you want. I won't tell you how many I'll use, but I'll try to use as many as possible.
One word per person. That's it!
This will go into Neverending Dungeon Tile #2.

I plan on cranking out another adventure tonight (I'm in kind of a NED mood) so look for that. Right now, I'm not in the Discord as I gotta focus on knocking this stuff out for them. If there's an emergency, hit up one of the admins there or Sarge and they can probably get in touch with me or help you out.

My last days at my day job are creeping up soon. And one big project I plan on doing is creating a full length Omeria guidebook.
The book will cover a lot of the cool stuff that's already going on that I've shared in other docs. But I want there to be a starter city/town in the book that works as a jump off point for adventures (likely with a couple of one-shots based in that area).
I've listed some of the most popular cities below along with a few others I'd be in...

For nearly 2,000 years, a race of hill dwarves known as the Roe'dgopé (ROE-da-GO-pay) have thrived in the Vaskil Valley. These dwarves are well known for their lyncanthropic nature. They are able to transform into lynxes, large, thick-pelted mountain cats. This ability was passed down by the chief god of the Roe'dgopic Pantheon, Omjun, to protect them against the dangers of the Basilisk's Spine Mountains. Although their condition is contagious, the dwarves never share their lyncanthropy with...

One of the trademark characteristics of frogfolk is the "kingdoms" which they form in the swamps of their homelands. These bizarre mockeries of legitimate monarchies may seem amusing, but make no mistake: the frogfolk themselves regard their king or queen with the utmost respect and authority and will tolerate no perceived slight against them.

I've put out some material about Anorian elves of Vaskil Valley before, notably today with the new bard subclass.
If you aren't familiar with Vaskil, it's where the "used-to-be-evil" elves, the Anorians, moved after their city got sacked 1,000 years ago. Now they live sort of a free-roaming vaquero'ish lifestyle there. They'll be featured in an upcoming adventure, too.
Question, though: before the Anorians moved into the valley, what other race was there that may or...

Over a thousand years ago, when Imfe Mythse Anore fell and the surviving Anorians were expelled by the Pressonians, the city's musicians—known as Taznarchi (TOZ-nar-key) in the Anorian dialect—led the Anorians across the mountains with their music. Vhonlanna, perhaps the greatest Taznarchi who ever lived, created a melody that helped lift up the spirits of the exiled elves. It also protected them from the dangers of the Basilisk's Spine Mountains.
Tragically, beloved Vhonlanna...

Beings of pure dread and horror, boglikins are 8-foot diameter, flying, spherical creatures with massive maws filled with countless, razor-sharp teeth. Boglikins can have up to twenty eyes (typically, at least eight). And tentacles sprout not just from the sides of their bodies, but also from inside their mouths.
Their presence alone warps and bends reality, turning organic creatures into piles of unintelligent ooze. It is unknown if oozes existed before boglikins or were an unfortunate...

Eighty years ago, the village of Tenellón was founded ten miles north of Uqamarte. Tenellón is surrounded on all sides by thick salt marshes with few trees. The only way into the hamlet of thirty-some inhabitants is via a narrow path that is known to flood over during the wet season. Like many of the towns and villages in the Lost Dragon pass, Tenellón owes taxes to Arruquetta. In exchange, it is awarded a single Cord, one of Arruquetta's not-so-secret ...

Resembling large, distorted toads with a third eye in the center of the bulbous foreheads, the bufonems were the dreaded servants of Loikiel. In the late 6th century, after Loikiel was defeated by the danaavrakts, the bufonem fled Aspaeth. Using their humanoid disguises, they took to rural areas where many still hide. Even today the witchhunters of Aspaeth travel Omeria seeking the toadfolk of Aspaeth. On more than one occasion, the witchhunters have set fire to entire villages caught hosting...

The mad illusionist Uncle Skeleton is at it again, this time with an even more nefarious dungeon than the last. His latest work, The Neverending Dungeon is a pocket dimension that exists outside the known planes. Its name isn't some cute moniker either. It is exactly what it sounds like: a dungeon that never ends.
Adventurers who enter the dungeon find themselves permanently trapped as each section of the dungeon loops in on itself. Then, just as the adventurers solve one section of the...
