Constructed from sturdy dark timber and stone, this inn’s exterior exudes a rugged charm, no doubt weathered by years of exposure to the town's misty climate.
Inside, a large hearth dominates the common room, filling the air with warmth and the scents of spiced stew and fresh bread.
The Gloaming Hearth Inn is a well-known establishment on the outskirts of Crnigrad, situated at the crossroads that lead to the Witchfen and other shadowed territories. Nam...

How important is it that your adventure features a map? And how important is its overall design?

This book is a tabletop roleplaying accessory that contains content and lore usable in any game system or campaign setting of your choice. While the adventures are tailored specifically for Tales of the Valiant and Fifth Edition, you can easily adjust them to suit whatever ruleset you choose to employ.
The people of the Witchfen are as diverse and enigmatic as the land itself. In Yargovic, a city at the north edge of Lake Mourushka, a mix of Novarian settl...
2024-10-17 00:41:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone (particularly Gold+ members),
I'm going to be catching up on books soon. After all, it's been a year plus since we've released anything.
Here's how it will work:
1) If you've been a gold member or higher, I've got a complete list of the number of months that you were a member. This applies to only certain regions, namely domestic US, UK, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Patreon keeps track of all that stuff.
Hey friends!
Just a heads-up on where I've been over the last few days. We're already six days into October and I haven't really released anything. That's because I've been working an enormous project which has taken up most of this week:
Basically, I'm rewriting the entirety of Castle Ravenloft to release with the fan content policy. This enormous bastard required me to basically rewrite every square inch of the infamous cas...

Hey all!
I'm neaaaarly done with my redux of Castle Ravenloft. But I've just hit the catacombs, which essentially adds another 40 areas to the castle. Woof! Keep in mind this is in addition to the other 100 or so that I've already written.
Anyways, I need some more one-word prompts!
In the comments below, leave a one-word prompt. Here are the rules:
1) Up to two words per patron.
2) Keep it clean
3) You can use proper nouns, but only if it's a punny-name (nothing...
Hey all!
The guys are nearly done finishing up the art for the dark fey, which will be the back half of October and November's theme. This means I need to start planning new assignments for them.
Below, pick the monsters that you like best. They will feature heavily in adventures for next month and likely make it into their own book series which Gold+ subs will get ahold of.

Hey friends!
I just got my COVID booster yesterday, and it straight-up kicked my butt. I spent most of the day sleeping off some pretty intense chills. But I'm feeling a bit better now.
Anyways, per my last One-Word Prompt request—for my Ravenloft Redux—someone said "Laszlo Cravensworth." It just so happened that the prompt came up on the staircase connecting the ground floor to the larders just below the big ol' glass heart. Using my random chamber contents generator that I d...

Hey all!
I had kind of a nutty idea today... what if I took the original Castle Ravenloft from Curse of Strahd and remixed everything in it, making it far more random and different than the original. After all, we've all had friends who've played it at this point and the internet is full of spoilers galore. This would be a good way t...

The characters have been summoned to the perilous Witchfen, where a group of Great Yew crusaders awaits them with critical information regarding their most recent quest. The swamps, steeped in ancient curses and eerie silence, are rarely traveled, but the urgency of the crusaders’ message compels the party to venture into the treacherous landscape.
When they arrive, the scene is far from what they expected. The crusaders are locked in a desperate battle against hideous goblyns—creat...

Hey friends,
I'm putting the JPT on pause for now since I've got enough lore to keep going. I wanted to bang out a quicker adventure than Mist Elemental Swamp today since I've got some other priorities to focus on, so I'm working on a callback to the old 2e adventure, Feast of Goblyns.
I need some one-word prompts, though!
In the comments below, give me two words in two separate comments. I'll create a scene/room based on your word.

Above is an image of the city Yargovic, which will feature both as the jump-off point for the next adventure, Mist Elemental Fen, as well as serve as the subject of Just Passing Through #6. This is the first time writing a Just Passing Through that focuses on just one city and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm combining my favorite elements of Balkan folklore and Eastern European history into a full-fledged city to launch campaigns.

The characters find themselves on a perilous quest for the Grimoire of the Black Veil, an ancient and forbidden tome said to hold knowledge of great and terrible power. Their journey leads them to the mysterious and foreboding Ten Tumuli, a series of ancient burial mounds shrouded in secrecy. These tumuli are guarded by the Grave Lords, a shadowy order sworn to protect the secrets within.
Upon their arrival, the Grave Lords, ancient elemental beings, offer little comfort. "The tumuli ar...

Despite taking the day off today, I did manage to write up most of the next adventure in the 31 Days of Halloween series I'm doing. Unfortunately, it's pretty huge, with 33 locations and a pretty nifty puzzle that computer science nerds will surely adore.
You can expect it to be released tomorrow, though. I should also make up for the lost day sometime during this week.
See you then!

After months of relentless pursuit and unraveling hidden agendas, the characters have finally uncovered the dark truth behind the Blood Cultists—descendants of the once-noble Silver Chalice Order, now corrupted by the cursed blood of the fey witch, Druvela the Bleak. These fanatics, driven mad by the lingering evil in their veins, have been working in secret to reunite Druvela’s scattered remains and unleash her dark power once more.

Hey folks!
As I'm working my way through the Halloween daily adventure series, I've now just come up with remakes of the classic Ravenloft "death elementals"—basically, grimdark versions of the traditional four elementals. They are blood elementals, grave elementals, mist elementals, and pyre elementals.
The next four adventures in the Halloween series will feature these beasties. And I plan on having them all be in pretty cool, unique spots, to...

Upon arrival, they discover a scene of bloody carnage—the entire gang slaughtered by an unknown force, their bodies savagely torn apart. Clues lead them to a large, ominous chest, the apparent source of the massacre. As they investigate the outpost's grim remains, the adventurers will uncover the dark secret of th...

I like polls because it’s fun to see what people want and stops me from guessing. I guess it’s just a part of my ADHD.
Otherwise I’ll just make whatever strikes my fancy.
But maybe you feel differently?
Should I stop polls and make this the final poll?

The town of Pommera seemed like any other—peaceful, nestled in the shadow of Mount Vesurion—until the strange apparitions began to appear. At first, they were nothing more than fleeting shadows, pale figures glimpsed at the edges of lantern light, fading with the dawn. Though the spirits seemed harmless, their presence soon set the townsfolk on edge, turning their quiet lives into a blur of whispered fears and sleepless nights. The local priest, in desperation, tried to banish them throug...

Where to next?

Okay, we just added a new corridor to our neverending 3d dungeon. We still have four ways to go. Which way do you want the maze to go? It ends tomorrow, so this one is for you night owls!

Another poll for us today, as I've slated today as my Patreon planning today. The next adventure is called Bussengeist's [Disaster]. Where a sad spirit serves as a harbinger for a great disaster or tragedy. The only trouble is that I don't know what the catastrophe should be.

Creatures who were once human beings—known as the "Animal Men"—have taken refuge in the crumbling ruins of an abandoned farmstead. Twisted by failed magical or scientific experiments, their bodies now bear grotesque mutations: tusks jutting from mouths that once spoke, hooves where feet should be, fur and scales blending with scarred human skin. Rejected and feared by the world that created them, they form desperate bands, raiding nearby villages and caravans out of necessity or rage. The...

I've been printing up a dungeon using the DMG's "Random Dungeon Generator" from the index as my guide. So far, I've got two rooms printed: the starting room and a passage with a door. Only trouble is, I can't decide where to go next, so I need you all to pick.
First 31 votes decide!
PS I might stock this soon doing a room a day as I generate it. We'll see!
