Plane Shifted: The Channeler Class Review

I've been struggling to come up with a class that would best represent a Magic the Gathering type spellcaster, using the 5 Colors of Magic. What I had found or worked on myself had all been a bit clunky at best, overpowered or unworkable at worst. Now that the DMs Guild has opened up for…

Van Richten’s Notebook

Just (barely) in time for your Halloween games! A collection of monsters for your players to fight, spells for their opponents to hurl at them (or for your players to find in forbidden tomes), and magic items to reward them with! All suitable for Halloween or Ravenloft themed adventures. My newest entry to the DM's…

Cobweb Golem

The Cobweb Golem is a magically created automaton given the semblance of life by a particularly powerful spellcaster. The Cobweb Golem appears to be spun from spiderwebs. Twigs, brambles, and other flotsam cling to its sticky surface, and small spiders can be seen scurrying about on the creature. Cobweb Golems are usually encountered in long-abandoned…

In the Shadows of White Plume Mountain

Yes, things have been quiet from me here. Partially is that I've been getting some overtime at work, which these days leaves me drained. The other is that I've started a project. I'm writing an adventure, In the Shadows of White Plume Mountain, which will detail the areas surrounding the fabled feathered mound. As a…

Product Review: Nerzugal’s Dungeon Master Toolkit

Reviews are something new to me here at the blog. Those that follow me on Google+ know that I often share posts from other blogs that I read. I try to help turn up the volume, so to speak, on things that I find useful. Not that this item needs much help, as a Platinum Best…

Bazaar of the Bizarre: Archer’s Best Friend v2.0 Major Update!

I'm excited to announce a major update to Bazaar of the Bizarre: Archer's Best Friend! Expanded from 8 to 23 pages with over 20 new items and lots of new artwork. I scoured Deviant Art and found some great artists that I was able to work with that I feel really helps bring this to life. If…

Bazaar of the Bizarre: Archer’s Best Friend

My newest Pay What You Want entry to the DM's Guild is a collection of ten bows and ammunition converted mostly from an article in Dragon Magazine #127, but I also updated the Bow of Doubling from Dragon Magazine #99's Treasure Trove II that I had previously converted here. I present to you, Bazaar of…

Grognard’s Grimoire: Sorcerers

After the comments I received on my Arcane Casters of Eska post, and another session of playtesting I'm quite happy about how the rules work. My sorcerer player was usually quite content to spam cantrips in combat, with the occasional spell thrown out. Last session was a complete flip. He cast a variety of spells,…

Arcane Casters of Eska

I was a lapsed gamer, coming from 5e straight from 2e, though I did buy and read 3.5e. Wizards I get, and sorcerers as well. Warlocks are overall new to me, never playing in or running a game with one. While they are present on Eska, they will probably be the least fleshed-out of the…

Bazaar of the Bizarre: Rings that Do Weird Things

Dragon Magazine #117 was a good one for content for me to work with. In addition to By Magic Masked, there is also a collection of reader submitted magical rings. I converted a bunch of them over to 5e rules, as well as updating a collection of magical rings from Dragon Magazine #82 that I had…
