I got a request to make a John Wick style class. I figured the best way to do this was take the Monk Way of the Kensei and alter it a bit. And that's just what I did.
Here's a dangerous monk killing machine.
Enjoy!
2019-09-20 20:16:42 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
The shirt saga continues. I had to switch away from RedBubble because they didn't make it that easy to fulfill the shirts, so I'm switching to Printful. For those of you of Platinum tier and higher (US and Canada) you'll get a code from me and a link to where you can buy the shirt.
Thanks for being patient on this. What a pain LOL
2019-09-20 15:41:22 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks!
We will probably hit 200 today. When that happens, I’ll start working on Strange Races immediately and will hopefully have it ready by Monday.
The only thing that might slow me down is the BroadSword books are showing up today, so I’ll be spending the weekend getting those ready for delivery.
After Strange Races comes Oz which should be fun. Been reading up a bunch on it, trying to figure out how I want to do it. Stay tuned!
2019-09-20 12:43:49 +0000 UTC View PostOne last note folks!
The books officially arrive tomorrow. If you want a physical copy without having to wait until they hit Amazon, make sure you upgrade to either Gold or Platinum now and I'll get your name on the list for the rest that'll go out over the weekend.
No pressure, of course, you can still get BroadSword in PDF format if you're an electrum member or higher. Just wanna make sure nobody fusses at me for missing out LOL
Thanks!
2019-09-20 01:24:01 +0000 UTC View PostSince we're within striking distance of 200 patrons, I figured it was time to announce the NEXT DMDave Stretch goal.
If we reach 270 patrons, I'll create a fully playable Wizard of Oz campaign setting based on Frank L. Baum's awesome books.
It will have new races, subclasses, magic items, spells, monsters, and more.
270, here we come!
Edit: I've been picking up 10 patrons per day, so I decided to make it a more realistic number (otherwise, I'll swamp myself ...

Closing out the August requests, here are two fun races. First, I've created two subraces for lizardfolk and second, I created a half-undead race that allows the player to turn incorporeal. Watch out, though, because your compulsions just might drive you insane.
Enjoy!
Edit: one minor adjustment to Veiled for clarification on its Etherealness ability.
2019-09-19 21:38:17 +0000 UTC View PostI had a great chat with one of my patrons today about the content getting made here. And he suggested that I take everything and sew it up into a big fat PDF at the end of each month.
Okay! I will, dang it!
Starting this month, all of the exclusive content I made this month will get put into a big, fat, PDF for you to download, print, roll around in the nude on, whatever tickles your fancy.
And I'm going to call it... Buckler!
Get it? Broadsword and Buckler.

A new, Native American-inspired race of half-deer/half-human hybrids. These creatures have a connection to the Ethereal Plane.

Pop in and say hello!

I've been secretly working on a project where I've reverse engineered all the races in 5e and created a point system for developing your own 5e races.
That means you can quickly create balanced, cool races of your own design, and you're no longer limited by the "folks on the coast" put out.
If my Patreon hits 200 patrons, patrons of EVERY tier will get a copy of the PDF (which really, all I need to do is format it).
Right now I'm at 167... so not too far to go.
As alwa...

Thanks so much for your support and I hope you’re enjoying the exclusive content.
Keep looking for more!

Originally, this was a request for a monster. But I thought it was cooler as a class. But I wanted to make it so the class wasn't super restrictive. In other words, you can be a barbarian spirit of vengeance or a ranger spirit of vengeance or whatever else you want.
It's Marvel IP, so I can't put it in PDF. But either way, here it is. Enjoy!

Mjölnir (pronounced myol-neer) is the hammer of Thor, the Norse God of Thunder. Often, Mjölnir is depicted in Norse mythology as one of the most powerful weapons ever created, "capable of leveling mountains." (Mjölnir - Wikipedia). In some stories, Mjölnir can only be wielded by a creature of good alignment, deemed worthy by Odin the All-Father.
Here are its stats for Fifth Edition in PDF format.

Here is the semi-final version of the space luchador. I've made a few changes, fixed a few typos, and added 50 moves to the list.
Enjoy!
2019-09-15 23:56:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
Another announcement for today. BroadSword #1 is here next week. If you want a copy, 1) make sure you’re a gold or platinum patron and 2) make sure you’re in the US (I’ll make exceptions for Canadian platinum members) and I have your address.
So long as you stay in those tiers, you’ll get the books Monthly in both physical and PDF format.
Cheers!

I've been thinking about editing the monthly requests a little bit to open it up some more, especially for new folks. Here is what I'm thinking.
In addition to the wrestling moves, what Patreon Exclusive would you all like to see for tomorrow?
Let me know in the comments.

Here is the first part of the Space Luchador class.
Tomorrow, I'll finish up the moves and post those, too, likely doing so as part of the same PDF. In the mean time, as promised, here is our friend the Space Lucha.
Enjoy!

The first monster is this beastie: the dire elephant.

It's that time! While I'm working my way through creating the August requests, I'm asking for the non-promotional requests.
Also, the first issue that includes the requests made for August should be out at the end of the month. Woo hoo!
Here are rough counts of what you can expect word-wise:
Note: This is a rather old adventure and may have some typos, continuity errors, etc. We've recently shared it as part of the "history of Omeria" on Kickstarter.
