9 New D&D 5E Fan-Created Resources!

Welcome to another installment of my D&D 5th Edition fan creation roundups, where I scour the web so you don't have to. This time around, I've found aquatic and oriental campaign options, a new Injury condition, thoughts on a setting based on the Americas, and a look at a couple of monsters- the Choker and the Nothic.

• Creature Spotlight takes a look at the Nothic for D&D 3.5 and 5th Edition.
• The Infernal Captain's Pact was featured in Dragon Magazine in 2008. Dan & Sally update it for D&D 5th Edition!
• Trentin Bergeron has created a new condition called "Injury". "Injury measures how beat up your character is. It represents the punishment the body takes in the course of combat and adventuring. These optional rules add a new special condition called Injury. Injury incurs reductions to hit point maximums and movement penalties. It imposes disadvantage and even eliminates the possibility of advantage."
• Charles Akins discusses the issues with tides, sun, and moon. How much detail do you need?
• Charles is also thinking about an American setting for D&D, instead of the common Euro-centric settings.
• Tribality has some monster and hero race options for a D&D 5E aquatic campaign. Plus a similar article on Oriental Adventure themed campaigns.
• Here's a 5E conversion of the Choker.
• Eldecrynn LeRoy is continuing his illustrations of the D&D Basic Monsters. Here's his Blink Dog!

The link to 'Injury' is broken.

Here's the correct link https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_lJhbSwBglnWVctajViTkgyaU0&usp=sharing

Dang, that injury document should be included with the canonical definition of 'death spiral'.

That is a draft for discussion version! I'm already looking to simplify it. I will create a thread here. Stop in and give me your thoughts!

Just read Charles Atkins' write-up about basing a campaign in a setting more akin to Colonial America than a developed Europe analogue. What a great, fresh idea. I highly recommend reading it if you're interested in world/campaign building.

I'm glad you liked it! My plan is to keep building it throughout the year and then to release everything as a free pdf for everyone at the end of the year.

I'm in the process of brainstorming my next campaign and that article was like a bolt of creative lightning. Of course, that means it blew up some of what I'd already created, but so be it - the ideas are flowing now.

Thanks for the link on my choker conversion!

How do you get your stuff onto this list? I have written quite a bit for 5E, posted about it threads, linked it under one of these announcements. perhaps it is not worthy, but I was wondering how these 'Fan-created Resource Lists' come about anyway.

Oh, and on a colonial American setting, that was the first 'region' I developed for our Kage Campaign Setting (to which we expanded). I love this and African-styled settings.

Thanks for linking my blog! With the Creature Spotlight I try to highlight interesting creatures across all versions of D&D/Pathfinder. Hope you enjoyed the Nothic entry.
