Ice & Wind: BroadSword Adventure Pack 1

My dear, loyal patrons,

Exciting news today, as I am officially announcing to you (and only you) my top secret October Kickstarter project. With BroadSword now rolling out, it's time to start going on the next cool thing and that's an old school boxed set adventure pack.

It will feature art from Dean Spencer, Miska Fredman, Rick Hershey, and more, with adventures by me!

Expect poster-sized fold-out maps, adventure books, monster tokens, and more.

For those of you at th...

Predators to hunt your PCs with

Look what I made! Have fun.

[Call for Suggestions] It's COLD in September - FREE requests

The theme for September is all about winter and cold stuff. That includes:

In the comments below, suggest cold spells, magic items, and feats.

These will be in addition to those normally offered! 

Let me see what you got!

(These requests will appear in BroadSword Monthly #4. If you do not wish to have your suggestion or name appear in the book, please let me know in the comment.)

[PDF] BroadSword Monthly #1

As promised, here is the very first copy of BroadSword Monthly . Thanks everyone whose been patience with DMDave and the mag over the last months. It was a blast to create and I hope I can continue creating awesome content for all of you!

Enjoy!

This title has been retired to the DMDave.com store:

Quarantine in PDF form

One last goodie before the month comes to an end: here's Quarantine in sweet, sweet PDF form by Mr. Scott.

Enjoy!

Aliens!

Y'all some weird people haha! 

But seriously, these suggestions were great. There were only two I didn't make because they wouldn't be "legal" in BSM, but I'll probably end up making them as promotional bits/Stat Anything.

Well, hope you all enjoy. Thanks again!

Patron Stretch Goal: Get FREE Subclass Requests in September

As part of the September promotion, if this patreon account hits 175 total patrons regardless of tier by the end of August, I will give EVERY partron a subclass request that will appear in an exclusive ebook in October (and probably in print too).

This is a huge deal as I don’t normally offer subclasses!

How you can help:

Share this Patreon account and tell your friends about this benefit.

Thanks everyone for your continued patronage!

The first official Blueshift adventure is here!

This adventure was so fun to write, I knocked it all out in one day. It has everything I love about great science-fiction: mystery, danger, killer robots, space ships, talking computers, and more.

I hope you enjoy it!

This will appear in BroadSword Monthly #3.

Let me know what you think.

[Patreon Exclusive] Sorcerous Origin: Witchborn

Got this idea last night and today I put it together. I think it's a lot of fun: it's a subclass that actually encourages multiple players picking the same class.

Other than BroadSword, this is ONLY available on Patreon.

Let me know what you think!

Last call for requests

Heya peeps!

Last call for requests for this month. You get your normal requests (if you haven't already requested those, look on the front page for details) and then you get your alien race request.

I should start working through those as soon as this week.

Thanks1

PDF - Another Converted Adventure (Rapax Spoilers)

I'm a on roll today! Here's another adventure for 3rd-level. This time I actually went through it and fixed any typos and included the maps lol.

Just a heads up, this thing is BRUTAL, so take care.

And if you're one of my players, you're forbidden from reading it.

PDF - Mountain Sanctuary (3rd-Level Adventure) + 5 New Monsters

Hey folks!

Here's a quickie adventure I converted yesterday. Hope you enjoy!

EDIT: I'm an idiot and realize I forgot the map, LOL. Also, I fixed the CR on the swarm of Spectramice.

3-Page Adventure Suggestions (Electrum+)

Hey gang!

I'm wrapping up BSM #2 as we speak, but was hoping to get some ideas for some quickie 3-page adventures.

The theme is horror. Here's what I need from you:

• An "elevator pitch" for a story idea. Basically, what it's about, sorta like what you'd read on the chapter header or on a social media headline.
• Your name so I can credit you if I use the idea.

Thanks! Looking forward to your suggestions.

Here it is... all 22,500 words of it!

Still needs some editorial love, but this is the bulk of it. Enjoy!

Quarantine nearly finished. Expect a PDF late this week or early next.

This adventure is pretty huge and a lot of fun. Scott should have it in PDF sometime this week. Then, it will appear in the October issue of BSM.

Stay posted!

The First Month of Swag!

With the release of BSM right around the corner, I suppose it’s time I announce swag to the platinum folks!

BroadSword T-shirts! Let me know your size and you’ll have one in the mail by EOW (US and Canada only). Platinum members only plus gold members with 2 months or more of membership. ❤️

Thanks!

EDIT: I will send to Canada for these, too. If you're from somewhere outside North America, let me know! Sorry for the confusion.

HALP! NPCs needed!

Currently, I'm working on the adventure Quarantine (about 8500 words in), but I need the names of 8 NPCs who are stuck at a local inn. 

Here's what you can do, my dear, dear Patrons. In the comments, provide the followin information:

• The name of the NPC
• The NPC's alignment, gender, and race
• The stat block of the NPC (must be one of the ones in Appendix B of the Monster Manual)
• A short description of the NPC--no more than two sentences...

Working on a huuuge adventure

Hey gang. Big adventure coming soon.

It’ll show up here as a blog post first, then as a PDF shortly after. Stay tuned

BroadSword #7 Theme

Hey yall!

I've got most of themes for BroadSword planned out through the first of the year. However, I don't know what to do beyond the February issue. Thought I might ask all you kind folks.

Pick a theme for March below!

Inspire me...

I need some ideas for subclasses that would fit into a monster hunter campaign (a la Supernatural). Whatcha got?

DMDave's Fifth Edition Dark Sun Conversion (Fixed)

Happy Monday friends! Here's my complete Dark Sun conversion in PDF form. 

This PDF comes free with every membership and is not for sale.

Enjoy!

Edit: I've fixed a lot of the errors and typos in the document. I'm sure there's one or two left, but for the most part, it's way more presentable.

Something special coming tonight...

Hope you are all having a nice, sunny day!

There's some cool coming tonight. A big fat PDF with tons of goodies.

Stay posted!

What’s up with all the body horror? 😂

Here’s the second batch of creatures from the July requests. So there weren’t any redundancies I changed a few concepts a little. But overall, some killer ideas!

DM’s workshop?

One thing I get a lot of requests for is tips on how to make stuff for Fifth Edition. While I’m pretty busy most days, it’s something I feel would be valuable to folks.

If I set up a weekly or every-two-weeks workshop, what kind of stuff would you like to learn?

Here they are... and they're horrible!

What's wrong with all you, freaks?  What kind of depraved, sick bastards come up with such horrors?

Kidding, of course, these are great! Not only will these appear in BroadSword Monthly #2, but I will also try to work each of them into the Secret of Forsaken Peak Part 2 in the adventure. Should be fun!

Status Update on Psionics and Other PDFs

Hey all! I've been steadily working m way through converting all of the cool, old psionics stuff from second edition.

Psionics will debut with BSM #3 (the sci-fi) issue, so you can expect to start seeing more of it by the end of this month as well as an ebook.

Also, the previews should start debuting soon. And as soon as the books are printed and hit the US (eta, mid-September), I'll have the PDF for BroadSword #1 to silver members and above.

Thanks!

Call for requests

Hey all! Place all of your August requests here. They will appear in the November issue of BSM and PDF next month

August Requests - Alien Races!

Hey everyone! Happy August.

Great news: got a lot of cool requests for monsters to put into the Horror Issue of BroadSword Monthly, so thanks for that. Look forward to seeing those in October (and on here in PDF eventually).

Also, this month we'll be gearing up for the November issue of BroadSword which is all about science-fiction. So I'll need some ideas for Alien Races.

Just like last month, everyone gets to put in a request for an alien race. Use just a couple short, con...
