Greco-Roman Ettin

I am currently running my players through an O5R (D&D 5e hacked to feel and play like OSR) version of Odyssey of the Dragonlords and decided to google up some monsters to see for inspiration and found this (and other) great entries. I like this version of the ettin and I also like the examples given. […]

alienist assassin

Working my way through Vornheim. Some clever ideas here for running a city campaign. But what spiked my curiosity were the unique takes on some monsters and some of the unique monsters. Can definitely imagine using these in my 5e OSR game. The original was a librarian (a rogue) who had made contact with […]

Zipper Demon (Cerniera Daemonium)

Working my way through Vornheim. Some clever ideas here for running a city campaign. But what spiked my curiosity were the unique takes on some monsters and some of the unique monsters. Can definitely imagine using these in my 5e OSR game. This would probably work well as a template as well. Based on […]

Goatscorpion

Working my way through Vornheim. Some clever ideas here for running a city campaign. But what spiked my curiosity were the unique takes on some monsters and some of the unique monsters. Can definitely imagine using these in my 5e OSR game. Goat’s head, giant scorpion’s body. It despises innocence and will attack the […]

Candelabraxian Peryton

Working my way through Vornheim. Some clever ideas here for running a city campaign. But what spiked my curiosity were the unique takes on some monsters and some of the unique monsters. Can definitely imagine using these in my 5e OSR game. Mysterious creature with the body of an eagle, breast and head of […]

Encounter: AMONG US – THE ELD’S REVENGE

When my PCs stole the Golden Barge from the Eldar during the Slumbering Ursine Dunes adventure Major Xhom got away and has been attempting to retrieve the Golden Barge – a piece of eldar science-wizardry artifact. I decided to do an Among Us style encounter using the Werewolf boardgame to play this out. I did investigate lots […]

Nuclear Dragon (Gloomium)

Living in the varying depths of Middergloom, these rare dragons occasionally rise to the surface world for reasons known only to them. The younger the dragon, the higher up they are usually found, favouring large chambers in which to spread their large translucent, gloomium-hued wings and fly; using the space to soar through the rifts […]

Legends Blade of the Legendary Rodrigo

Welp. I gave my PCs the ability to craft magic items as part of the Odyssey of the Dragonlords so something like this monstrosity was bound to be created. It’s expensive and time-consuming but of course one of my players came up with this. Here it is including the time to build and requirements. Ingredients Fume […]

Gunlock

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, […]

Heavy Metal Warlock

One of my players thought it would be cool if there was a warlock version of the Child of the Atom sorcerer – a warlock built around radiation, mutation, and nuclear power. Inspired after the party met some salt dryads (stolen directly from Deep Carbon Observatory) who, while chatting to the party, told them they […]
