Gunlock (D&D 5e)

By player request, inspired by the Gungeon final boss – The Lich. GUNLOCK Gunesis 1:1 In the beginning, the Gungeon was formless and void, and bullets moved over the face of the deep. Studying the mystical arts takes a lot of time and effort. Some find this overly onerous or lack the means to learn, […]

Broodmother Skyfortress (5e)

I am currently using Odyssey of the Dragonlords as a skeleton for my Clash of the Titans campaign – a science-fantasy Greco-Roman camping set in the distant future of Earth. For those that are not familiar with Dragonlords, the campaign is split into two parts. Part 1 is level 1 to 14 and part two […]

Broodmother Skyfortress (5e) – The Broodmother

See the index post for the context of this monster. My PCs never fought the broodmother because they woke Zeus (skygod) who killed a party member before the rest prostrated themselves, Zeus then promptly killed there remaining broodfiends – Swordmaniac, Runt Runt and the Broodmother – giving the party enough time to flee. With the […]

Quetzal the Sidh Sorceress-Queen

I used the adventure “Spire of Quetzal” as the exit from the Gardens of Ynn. My PCs did what they could to avoid combat with Quetzal and after she possessed a character, knocked that character out before fleeing back to their homeward – The Ninth World. Here are her 5e stats. I changed Quetzal to […]

Gunlock (OSR/AD&D)

Identify (House Rule)

5e identify makes identifying magic items too easy, 1e/2e is too hard and I feel its onerus for both me, as the DM, and the PCs. So my goal with this to not have it as onerous as 1e, etc, but not so easy as 5e and, as the DM, not track anything: Automatically know […]

Cleric of Persephone (5e)

My wife is playing a Priestess of Persephone – mostly because that was her bloodline role and she likes playing Raven Queen style philosophy – shepherding the dead to their afterlife and combating undead with religious zeal. Since I play a very OSR version of 5e I tend to create custom classes level 1 to […]
