My most recent game was run in my custom "D&D Jazz" system. There's a thread about it here somewhere- the Jester's Perfect DnD or something like that. It's going great. The pcs are 3rd level, and the xp system is working great. Basically, rather than giving xp for each monster or trap, the...

Horrified in Torog's torture den.

That also fits the fact that the master vampire dwells on the Shadowfell.

It's hard work, but it's sooo rewarding eating what you grow. We have a lot of fruit trees that haven't produced yet because they've only been in the ground a year or two; but eventually we'll have blood oranges, kumquats, mandarins, tangelos, limes, Meyer lemons, figs, and apples, as well as...

That's the skulk vampire- the real boss is a (formerly human) spellcaster vampire.

Hey! First off, if you play in my Cydra game, especially in the Ghost Wagon group, please depart the thread. This isn't for you and reading it might spoil some stuff. Okay.... . . . . . . . . . That said, a group I run has acquired a vampire spellcaster (5.0) as a nemesis. Said vampire is...

Here's my version: EYEWING Source: 2e Monstrous Manual. Eyewings are minor fiends that swarm through the Lower Planes like winged rats. They are obedient, loyal, and stupid, making them ideal servants for powerful evil gods, fiends, and other mighty creatures. An eyewing is a fat, hairy blob...

That kinda reminds me of the eyewing, a 2e monster from, I believe, Dragonlance.

For those who are into bitters, I just picked up some mole bitters. I saw it and knew I had to check it out. Haven't tried it yet but am eager to do so!

If you want a change from orcs, you could run L1- the Secret of Bone Hill. Assuming you have access to it- it's an old 1e adventure and pretty sandboxy, but has a significant focus on undead.

I have a conversion of the boggart that I did: BOGGART Source: 1e Monster Manual 2. A boggart is the immature form of a will-o'-wisp fey variant. It haunts the same areas of the world as its grown form does. It usually appears as a 2' tall humanoid form covered in coarse, dark fur, with long...
