Storm Oni Iogaka

In season of the ghost I wanted to turn Iogaka into an oni that would challenge 5 level 5 characters. Here is the conversion/update of her to make her into an oni (some of these updates are specific to how oni’s are portrayed in my game world):

Glitch Faerie

Glitch Faerie This lithe, diminutive creature looks like a humanoid with wispy, mothlike wings and long, thin ears. Glitch Faerie […]

accumulator (electric elemental)

A conversion (at least in spirit) of the original from Arcana of the Ancients with a trait from the Stormsheep (found in Veins of the Earth). Worldanvil link here.

Malboro

Watching my son playing FF16 reminded me how awful this monster is, 5e version for my game. Works well in any science-fantasy setting in particular. MALBORO Huge Plant, neutral evil Armor Class 16 (natural armor) Hit Points 138 (12d12 + 60) Speed 30 ft. STR DEX CON INT […]

Xenomorph Queen Boss Fight (Grendelqueen)

Check out the rollable (and cleaner) version on World-Anvil. This was a great encounter, brutal attacks and the ongoing status effects really shutdown a lot of the PCs ability. But the PCs (a 8 man party of level 8-12) won in the end. No small amount of inspiration was also taken from the Tyranids. Pharsis, the EverqueenCR: […]

Pharsis the Everqueen

Named after a Xenoblade Chronicles X super boss but based on the alien xenomorph queen, my PCs took on one of Pharsis’ progeny – a juvenile broodmother. Was a great fight as the PCs had no idea what they were facing. I had no prepared anything and because I figured she was a juvenile version […]

World Anvil Monsters

For my most recent campaign – a mash-up of the various Temple of Elemental Evil (ToEE) adventures through D&D’s history and Princes of the Apocolypse (PoA) – I started using World Anvil so that I could run these directly from a laptop (not just monsters but whole modules). Here is a list of those monsters; […]

Rethiarius the Sentinel

As part of the Expedition to the Barrier Peaks campaign, my PCs took on their first boss. 8 PCs and 4 Henchmen/NPCs with an average level of 6. The boss was a Rubik-like cube robot/mechanical entity called Rethiarius. Corrupted by a creature known as a Telepath (a reskinned mind flayer, inspired by Prey 2017). The […]

Phinegol Atropos (5e D&D)

Recently read through the 3.5e version of Kedge Keep. Kedge Keep is one of my favourite video game dungeons even to this day. I liked the expanded lore and details provided by the 3e conversion of the dungeon, and thought it would be cool to create a 5e version. The original Phinegol is a CR […]

Birdfood v2.0

As my party goes up against the Air Temple Cult (Cult of the Howling Hatred – a mishmash of every ToEE from 1e to 5e) one of my PCs remembered fighting this guy back in our first 5e campaign known as the Iron Gods. Considering this particular villain stuck in her mind for so long, and she […]
