I wrote a supplement to Waterdeep: Dragon Heist called Cruel Summer on the DM's Guild that takes the Summer story arc (which already has a hidden cult to Asmodeus) and blends in a demonic cult that is working against them. It's decidedly urban, and draws the party into a gumshoe-style detective...

I once wrote (and never used) a scenario with aquatic enemies under an old dock, shoving spears up through the cracks to attack the PCs from below. I still think this could be really exciting as part of a bigger battle, but be sure there are lots of barrels, piers and crates for the characters...

5e Add a bit of pulp-detective style adventure to your Waterdeep: Dragon Heist summer campaign. After the Cassalanter's Founders' Day celebration ends in death and destruction, their twin children are found to be missing. Waterdeep is in an uproar, the Cassalanters aren't talking and it falls to...

My latest work is up on DM's Guild as a Pay-What-You-Will: a collection of 10 unique magic items to liven up your loot! In this collection you'll find: A Bedroll which conceals a portal to a luxurious parlor A pouch of ball bearings which roll around at the user's command A shield which greats...

Seven unique and bizarre beholders for 5th edition, each with their own goals, personalities and opportunities for adventure. They include: Dagmarth, who dwells in a hidden tower of Candlekeep searching for the key to break his curse Craggenoth, a beholder who has taken up a life of piracy on...

I am- so far you're the first to respond. I've heard a lot of people get together at the Gaming Goat up in Gurnee on Friday nights, but I haven't made it to a get together yet.

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but I figured if anyone would appreciate this, it would be the folks here. Ive submitted a gaming shirt design to a site which counts votes to determine which designs they open up to crowdsourcing. If you like it, please vote for it- if you do, you'll...

You could inject some tension by having the portals not be accessible to all- in my own campaign world I've been playing with a large port city where the wealthy work in an elevated, mostly walled-off ward by day, running businesses that siphon off the profits of the dock workers and sailors...

I'd love for it to be collaborative! If we follow the model of the art challenges, we'd need a thread where people can post their "work-n-progress" ideas to get feedback and suggestions from other members of the community. I'm envisioning a scaled-down version of this...

Just had a thought after visiting some weekly art challenge sites (where a challenge is issued, everyone posts their works-in-progress for crits and suggestions, then everyone posts in a finals thread and the community picks a winner). It seems like we could do a similar thing here with...

If you don't mind having your NPC noblewoman's brain being eaten, an intellect devourer makes an excellent infiltrator!

Tha Lamia can cast disguise self at will, and is the same CR (I think) as the Succubus.

As someone who played "The Morrow Project" back in the day, I couldn't agree more!

I'm a long-time gamer (i.e. an old guy) in the Libertyville area, looking for a 5e campaign to join or possibly start. Would be willing to DM or run a character, with an eye towards eventually play-testing an adventure I've been writing. PM me or reply on this thread if you're interested or...

The Geese Just outside of town the party finds a gaggle of geese loitering along the path, unattended. Nearby lies a basket and a shepherd's crook, implying that someone was leading the geese to market up until a short time ago. The situation looks like something sinister may have taken place...

I realized I've been getting off track and writing whole adventure seeds rather than simple encounters, which I think this thread was intended for. Still, I came up with a couple more during my morning commute, so here they are. From here on, I'll try to get back on the encounter track.... The...

Couldn't resist some more: The City of Ash While traveling through a mountainous area, the party stumbles across the partially-exposed city buried long ago in ash from a nearby volcano, which smoulders to this day. Lying strewn around the ruins are the contorted figures of the towns' doomed...

an honest question- if you're fighting a 4 hour time slot, how much time for false leads do you allow for before the mystery basically becomes unsolvable? Do you allow for one red herring, or two, or three?
