Crystal bats are awesome too! And looks like I’ll be adding those to my list to stat out…

Neat! I'll have to look that up (and maybe stat it up if there isn't a 5e compatible block for it yet).

Hi Faolyn! I just posted in the Homebrew forum, but thought you might appreciate the spell and magic item I cooked up, inspired by your Tome: The Gamesmaster’s Judgement: Melty Doom — VSR Ink

Green skinned witch threatening your auntie? Has someone who’s betrayed you been caught and now needs to be unalived? One of your players ghosted you for the last time with their PC just sitting there needing an exit from the game? For those times when a simple death just isn’t good enough, get...

Who needs a death ray when you've got a horn, wings, and gooey, oozey appendages? Don’t be fooled by its mesmer eye and soothing tune, these one-eyed, one-horned aberrations have a penchant for hunting and devouring people! Unyclopteryges Unblinking Grotesquery: Unyclopterx — VSR Ink

These giant beasts make excellent mounts, flying pack animals, or group air transportation, especially for airborn Elementaari (GPG #18), but stay on their good side or risk finding yourself at the wrong end of their horns! Stripe-Horned and Airborne: Wooly Air Rhinos — VSR Ink

Getting ready to Kickstart a brand new class for LevelUp5E: The Shamanist, which takes inspiration from Korean mudangs (shamans), Japanese miko (shrine maidens), Kpop Demon Hunters, and DanDaDan. Read the blog post (No More Hiding: My First Kickstarter!) to learn more, and sign up for the...

Hi this is Anthony (author of the Ferocity and Power article). Sorry for the delay in responding. Hopefully I can answer most of your questions. You are correct, this should be disadvantage for the target's saving throw. IIRC, when I first started designing this tradition, I think VRC and the...

I know it’s late in the day now, but how do folks feel about April Fool’s releases for TTRPGs? For me, it’s a time-honored tradition of tomfoolery that I rather enjoy. In campaigns that I run and play in, I typically prefer epic story arcs and more realistic world continuity, but there’s...

SAMPLE (2 of 4) Option c) New monsters and unique player options for an awakened construct creature made of living glass. Glassborn (Heritage/Species) Initially created as a magical glass dragon construct with instructions to guard a priceless treasure, your life did not truly begin until you...

Since the original post already included a monster from Jabberwocky (option a) I'll come back around to that category later on. In the meantime, here's a small bit from stuff I've been doing for the second option (which happens to be leading the poll at the moment): b) A spiritual successor to...

Yes! This is a great idea and aligns with some other things I have worked on and/or supported in the past (the Homebrew and Hacking series from PJ Coffey comes to mind), and though it wasn't in the survey, I am plotting to continue on that track in the future as well...

Thanks to everyone for the poll responses and additional feedback so far!! I've been quiet here for a few days, first to let the survey sort of evolve organically without additional interference from me, and second to give me time to review the results and decide what "interference" if any I...

I’ve recently been working on a bunch of game design, including stuff compatible with 5e /Level Up A5E, and realized I need help prioritizing and getting focused if I want to get content out sooner rather than later. But first, A Slithe of Toves is a free mini-encounter with statblocks...

Jinx!! And thx, seems I should check it out. Just got the QuickStart FreeRPGDay download.
