October is the beginning of my favorite time of the year. The air gets crisp. Green gives way to oranges, reds, yellows and browns. The rustle of leaves. My favorite holiday, Halloween, which brings us things that go bump in the night, this month’s Blog Carnival.
With that I decided to jump ahead thru my collection of Dragon Magazine, to issue # 138, which brings us a crypt full of undead creatures.
You can find this on the Dungeon Masters Guild as part of Van Richten’s Notebook, a hastily thrown together product that I put out before the release of Curse of Strahd.
Welcome traveler from an antique land.
You hold in your hand one of Dr. Rudolph van Richten’s numerous notebooks. In his travels, Dr. Van Richten took copious notes that later led to the publication of his many Guides.
This is some of what he has seen. The unheard of monsters, who slither and bite. Wondrous items and and artifacts he has found, their mysteries yet to be unlocked. Of the vexing spells and enchantments he has encountered.
Seven monsters, six spells, and nine magic items!
Bestiary includes the allip, amorphous blob, bloody bones, cobweb golem, dry bones, skotos, and slaugh.
Spellbook includes amorphous blob, creeping darkness, crimson scourge, undead control, vampire mist, and wall of bones.
Magic items include the cloak of night, eyes of the undead, gauntlets of the ghoul, ring of lycanthropy, skull mask, specter wand, sword of night, trumpet of doom and withering scythe.
You can pick up Van Richten’s Notebook on the DM’s Guild now.

I don't know if it is just my browser but the stat block bleeds over into the sidebar.

Thanks, I didn't notice that before. I was just trying out a new format on my stat blocks that I didn't use before. I changed the size of the columns to fit better.
