Requests for everybody!

After putting together a new list of feats today for a request, I noticed that most feats shake out to around 50 - 100 words. So I figured: why not offer rewards for everyone?

Here's how it will work. Everone gets a number of words per month at a rate of $0.10 per word. So if you're at the $3 tier, you'll get 30 words.

You can then cash in your words for content whenever you like. Just drop me a message on here or PM me on Discord.

Here are rough counts of what you can expec...

See your requests in print...

In addition to the return to requests for Patrons, I'll be taking the requests I make and put them into BroadSword Magazine. Because of our creation schedule, it will probably be a 3 month lag or so until you see it in print, so expect to see requests ahead of time in PDF format.

If you aren't already a gold or silver tier patron, check out the benefits now for upgrading.

Thanks, all!

BroadSword Magazine Affiliate Program

Hey everyone! Just started an affiliate program for BroadSword Magazine. Details are on the site.

The Return of Requests!

I've been stewing on it for a bit and been doing a bit more research. I've decided to reincorporate requests into my Patreon. Here is how it will work:

Silver+ - The Trial of Heroes - New Adventure for Fifth Edition (BroadSword Preview)

Hey all!

Big thanks to Scott for getting this PDF together. Trial of Heroes is a throwback to the Challenge of Champions adventures from Dungeon Magazine. It was a ton of fun to make and probably in my personal top 10 creations of all time.

Hope you enjoy!

PDF: BroadSword Preview - The Battle of Dragard Mine

Happy end of the month, folks! 

You probably notice I've been quiet the last week. I've been working on three things:

• First, BroadSword Magazine is getting its layouts together. Scott and I have been hard at work to make sure it perfectly captures the look of the old magazines.
• Next, I'm working on the psionics book. It's probably going to be bleed into next week some, but I'm nearly done with everything I want to put in it.
• Finally, I've been hard at ...

The Complete Psionics Handbook... what else should go in it?

Hey all!

Working my way through the content for Complete Psionics. 

So far I've got the Psion class, 12 subclasses, rules for Wild Talents, new monsters, and plenty of psionic powers going into it.

What else would you like to see in it?

Oh Snap!

Submissions are now open, folks!

Looking forward to see what you've got!

Just a taste...

Here is the first major part of what I'm working on for June's book. 

Psions! A lot of you guessed that's what it'd be and you're 100% right. The book will feature this class (fixed up), plus a few subclasses, monsters, and a whole boatload of new spells/power and mechanics.

Let me know what yout hink!

June Book Details

Heya folks,

This week, I've probably put 30,000 words to paper, mostly kept in the background. So sorry if I've been quiet. I've got a new book that I'm working on that's a revival of an old 2nd edition book as well as working on the content for BroadSword magazine.

This new book will have all sorts of nifty stuff:

• 2 new full classes
• probably a few new subclasses
• new Fifth Edition game mechanics
• new spells
• new monsters

New Class Coming Soon

Hey all!

Sorry for being quiet lately. BroadSword's kept me pretty busy (as well as work) so I've been a little quieter than normal.

Just a heads up on what I am working on though. I should be putting up a new character class soon in full PDF format. 

In fact, it might include TWO new classes haha

So keep an eye out for that. :)

Kaiju World #5 - A Wild, Wild World

So who are the big winners of the class poll?

Looks mostly like the classes of the wild: 

• Barbarians 40%
• Druids 24%
• Rangers 12%
• Bards 8%
• Monks, Rogues, Sorcerers, Warlocks 4%
• Clerics, Fighters, Paladins, Wizards 0%

What really stands out is the high presence of bards, more so than even rogues and fighters.

Kaiju World #4 - Most important class?

As we continue to build out our unnamed "Kaiju World", I wanted to send out a poll to see what you all think the most important class in this world is.

This doesn't have to be the most common class, but the one that's most needed in a world dominated by powerful monsters and punishing seas.

Once the poll is done, I'll place the classes in order. The most important one will get a dose of lore while the "least important" will have a reason for its diminished status.

Kaiju/Waterworld - Base of Operations

As you can see, most of the world has been drowned by the seas and there's hardly any ice caps left. The remaining lands are covered in desert, jungles, and dense swamps.

Let's narrow things in a bit more now since we have our theme. 

We need a base of operations for our starting party.

What ideas do you all have for a good base of operations? Bonus points if you find a spot on the map to place it.

[Poll] "Kaiju World's" Dominant Terrain

Okay, so we've got some thematic ideas for our "Kaiju World."

But what should its dominant terrain type be? I'd like to keep it narrowed to a single type just to give it a little more flavor.

Choices are below! Vote once!

The Trader Class

Hey all! Sorry for being so slow to posting.

This new PDF is HUGE. So it took a little time to work on.

Anyways, here it is, the Trader class. I am VERY happy with this way it turned out and I hope you like it, too.

Welcome to "Kaiju World" Community-Generated World

Perhaps it's because we've all got Godzilla fighting monsters on the mind, but it seems that a lot of folks were kinda interested in an idea of a semi-post-apocalyptic world over run by colossal monsters.

Here are some of the elements I want to work into this:

• A series of cities built on the back of massive ancient creatures that serves as guardians and local "gods"to the citizens. Also think a sand ocean would be interesting so i guess sand pirates  2019-06-03 23:32:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Lets Build a New Campaign World

Hey all!

A while back I did a Wandrossa campaign setting that got everyone involved with the process of building a campaign world. And while that may have been a little extreme in its execution, I think the core idea--a community built campaign setting for Fifth Edition--was pretty good.

This month, I'd like to try to do that again. This time, though, it will be solely through polls and content suggestions and none of the game play that goes with it.

Before I get sta...
