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 […]

Adimarchus/Phaeros (Boss Fight for 5e)

During the early days of 3.5e I ran the Shackled City Adventure Path. I and my players really enjoyed this first Adventure Path, however, one thing I never liked was the final boss fight with Admiarchus. The way the battle was designed and the way 3.5e combat rules work it ended up just being a […]

Vampire King Boss Fight (5e)

I built this for Curse of Strahd some time back but never got to use it as my PCs voted not to play Curse. I dug this up as my PCs as part of my Clash of the Titans campaign when they went to visit the Blood King as a Halloween adventure, and, of course, ended […]

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 […]
