YOU ARE DEAD (or Hardcore/AD&D for D&D 5e House Rules)

Gnome (5e, reinterpreted)

Here for my player’s reference as, gnomes in my world are more like invader Zim than the traditional D&D gnomes. Kwalish, for example, is a mainstay in my campaign and one of the reasons my PCs love him as a patron is because of how outlandish he is. They even have their own custom class […]

Here is a list of those monsters; […]

Temple of Elemental Evil – Final Battle

In my 5e mashup of Temple of Elemental Evil (Reincarnated) and Princess of the Apocolypse, my PCs ended up having to face Olhydra and the Prophet of Water in the Water Node.

Marlos Urnrayle (Updated Boss Version)

In my version of ToEE/Princess of the Apocolypse, I have a party of 12 characters (7 PCs, with 5 henchmen/followers) which means they can railroad most default encounters in published material like Princess of the Apocolypse. Here is an upgraded version of Marlos the Maeder (male medusa) – WolrdAnvil Link. In my game, he ended […]
