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 […]

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 […]

Priestess of Persephone (OSR/DCC Style)

Magus Deck of Mercurial Magic

This deck of cards enhances a veneficus’ (sorcerer) spellcasting. All your spells now the deck of cards as a material component. Whenever a card is used as part of spellcasting you may adjust the result of 1 die by +1 or -1. However, when used in this way, it triggers an effect based on the […]

A Mushroom Mercenary in the City of Broken Clocks

Inspired by the zine “Ten People You Meet in the Undergarden”. I think this whole zine works well in the Gardens of Ynn. Gerard guards the City of Broken Clocks within the Garden of Ynn from looting. He has been doing this for long time. He is getting bored and he may be tempted to […]

Cybermancer

Request from one of my players – a new player – who, after realising my world wasn’t a typical “forgotten realm kitchen sink” setting but more a “dying earth, crossed with shadowrunner by way of the 80s” he requested to switch from a wizard to something more cybery. Here you go. CYBERMANCER Technomancers are metahumans […]

Clash of the Titans (Session X)

Game log for session 6 one of my players (my daughter) wrote – part of the Clash of the Titans campaign. For context, the party is meant to meet the oracle and have to be there within 7 days but it takes 6 days by Golden Barge, longer by normal ship. However, Rodrig the Blue Medusae […]

“THE” “Vorpal” Blade aka, the Dragonbone Smasher

The Court of White gifted my PCs with this rock-shaped-as-a-sword. Its power is only unlocked when it tastes the blood of the Jabberwocky. The court refers to it as “THE” “Vorpal” Blade (and they pronounce the quotes as well) it is not a Vorpal Blade, it is nevertheless a deadly anti-dragon weapon. Dragonbone Smasher “A […]

Gardens of Ynn Chess Set

Converted here for my own reference, statblock light. Built of earth elementals for the Court of the White Queen who is eternally at war with the Black Mountain King. My PCs decided to actually play chess and the Court of the White Queen won. As a reward, they received a wand of wonder, a bag […]
