Folks, here is the promotional cover photo for the Hand of the Eight, the level 1-20 campaign I'll be crafting for the next 35 days in my 35-in-35 challenge. I think I did a pretty nifty job of making it look like a real 5e cover. Thanks for Dean Spencer for the awesome commercial art license and thanks to everyone who voted earlier for the overall title of the campaign.
Here is the breakdown of how each day will break out from December 1st to January 4th.

King Evadimus of Riva is dead and the Omerian Throne sits vacant. Childless, Evadimus had no clear heirs. Consequently, it is now a time of grim politics, war, and intrigue as powerful lords and ladies from across the Shining Continent vie for the spot as the land’s greatest monarch. Who will become the next ruler of Omeria? That is the subject of the Rivals for the Omerian Throne game.

2019-11-30 20:19:53 +0000 UTC View PostAll right, just one last post and then I'm going to be working on content for the rest of the day.
If you didn't already read about it, I'll be doing 35 Adventures in 35 days. It's going to be set in the world that I've been creating with Cze/Peku and the rest. Beyond that, I don't really have any idea of what to make it. Platinum will help guide, of course. But I thought that I might turn to y...
2019-11-30 17:55:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Last night, I was sitting around staring at my phone thinking of what to offer all of you awesome folks for the holidays. I kept scrolling through my cartographer friends' feeds and they were all wrapping up Mapvember (where you make 30 maps in 30 days). And then it hit me:
"What if I did an adventure a day for the month of December?"
I started plotting it all out after that. Here's what I came up with:
Adventuring Day XP. I decided...

While I'm mailing the physical #2's (which just got here Wednesday), make sure that if you want to get your physical copy for this month that you upgrade to Gold or Platinum tier.
Gold is if you're in the US or in a US territory, and platinum is for World Wide. I'll be running lists today before 5pm CST.
Thanks all and have a great holiday!
2019-11-30 17:19:10 +0000 UTC View PostI've long been trying to decide where to put platinum folks and get them the right goodies. Physical stuff is a headache because it'd all have to be print-on-demand so I feel like the value wouldn't be representative of my work—unless it was, like... t-shirts and stuff.
So this is what I came up with:
The Return of Gods of Wandrossa. Coming up, soon, Cze/Peku and I will be creating worlds based on his regional maps. This is the perfect opportunity for the Platin...

The following spells are available to sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards. It's worth noting that many of these spells are considered "evil" and may affect a character's alignment.

Welcome to the Neverending Dungeon! The adventure starts when characters wake in a dungeon with no recollection of how they got there. Each room of the dungeon is loaded with traps, monsters, puzzles, treasure, and more. As time goes on, I'll create more and more rooms, building out at least one room per week plus an additional room for every 10 patrons that follow my Patreon account.
You are free to play the dungeon as it lies, or you can take the individual puzzles, traps, and room la...

Blood gods are often dark, malicious gods cherished by those who creep in the shadows and feed off the life force of the living. Vampires, ghouls, and even many demons and devils give respect (and fear) to the blood gods. There are other blood gods who are worshipped by the mortal weapons of war. Whatever your connection to your god is, you must always respect two things: if a creature has blood it can be controlled, and if you cannot spill blood in combat, you have failed your god.
2019-11-28 19:43:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe books are here and going out. So long as you were a gold Patron on or before October 31, you’ll be getting a copy.
Thanks for being patient!

Elves have a natural tolerance against undead effects. However, there are times when elves are bitten by undead creatures—particularly vampires—when, instead of turning, they contract a passive infection in their blood stream. If a female elf contracts this virus, there is a chance that they can pass it on to their young. Almost immediately, the child is seen for what it is, a blood kind. Blood kind are neither living nor undead, but instead something in between.
Unlike other creatu...

2019-11-27 14:02:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
I’m going to work mostly on bite sized content for the rest of the week and probably into December.
Going to experiment with weekly themes.
What should the first week’s theme be?

It’s second tier, so go nuts.

As a favor for a friend, I needed to put together a quick map and dungeon set in an ice cave. Here's the dungeon for it... brrr! Cold! I made the map using Donjon's Random Dungeon Generator then used a bunch of cool tricks I know in Photoshop to make it look icey. I added in the frozen lake for fun.
I'll probably have some details on this later this afternoon.
This behemoth of an adventure takes you the lost city of Hearth: a once great and radiant city. But who are these strange cultists? Who were the Couatl Heralds? What lingering magic still lies dormant here? There is a tremendous wealth of content to explore and uncover for parties level 7 and up that can even...

Hearth is just a day away. I just sat and made 18 fancy player handout cards for the adventure.
Hope you're all looking forward to this one!

Hearth (out on Tuesday) has a single puzzle with 73 steps to it. Don't worry. It's not as crazy as it sounds.
Or maybe it is?

I know I've been quiet, but this massive project is what I've been working on. It's looking to be at least 60 pages. It 100% will be out this Tuesday.

Here's an excerpt from the upcoming Maze of the Storm Lady:
This area only exists if the Tempusfuge is not set to a state. This area is nothing more than a dark hallway that loops back in on itself, appearing this way in almost all of the maze's states, including the second.
Creatures in this area who try to open the Reality Door (the double-doors connecting this Area to Area 7) while the Tempusfuge is set, discover that it is sealed shut and remains tha...

Before releasing the adventure (it's nearly wrapped up), I thought I'd release a list of NPCs from the Maze itself to get you all interested.
In addition, I've included more of my Monster Boosts. They're basically feats you can apply to creatures to give them a bit more flavor.
Enjoy!

Here it is! There's was a lot of back and forth on the design elements, so it took a little longer than expected, but it's already off to the printers.
Lot of great content in this one so I hope you enjoy.
Note that this version is the "off to the printers" version, so we might have a few changes that need to be made between now and print. If you catch anything, let us know either on Discord or here on the patreon.
Woot woot!
We finally got #3 wrapped up. I still gotta make some corrections, but the bad boy will be out tomorrow at 9:00am.
Remember, it's Electrum up only. This mofo is 100 pages of RPG goodness with a sh'load of adventures this time.
