The Broken Blade A sword that just can't keep it together. ******** 1. A longsword of elvish make—not that this means the sword is terribly fancy. The longsword is straight, it carries a sharp edge on both sides, its width does not vary, the cross-guard is one sturdy piece of metal, the grip...

Tymora by a mile. After her, all the countless lesser aspects of the deities. That's where the action is at.

I plan to purchase official 5E products, but I won't be budgeting money for the adventures anymore. Xanathar's Guide to Everything has proven useful just about every time I sit down to create content for the DMs Guild. Likewise Volo's Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. The...

I try to include sample/preview content every time I post in my promo thread. To me this seems the best way to meet Morus's requirement that OPs "check in" with their thread from time to time. Potential buyers ought to be given a good idea of what's coming down the pipe for a new release, too.

XGtE Magic Item Backstories set in Cormyr. Item the Eighth: Cloak of Billowing Xanathar breaks wind: Cloak of Billowing, from Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, p.136. Permit me a little bit of doggerel, ere we get started: At night beneath the Moon and Stars, Pirates and swanmays dance...

XGtE Magic Item Backstories set in Cormyr. Item the Seventh: Charlatan’s Die Xanathar gambles to win: Charlatan’s Die, from Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, p.136. • A test for apprentice clerics (aka: underpriests) of Tymora: keep on their person for a year one die crafted to obey their will...

This is the kind of map someone could build a great DMs Guild adventure around. Thanks very much for sharing, Dyson!

December Preview: Dragon Dreams of the Forest Kingdom Work continues on the next Dragon Dreams article. Below is a pdf preview for a pair of monster mockups. These two still have to go through review and revision, so you can expect the final versions to be different.

Moving on to #11 on the list of thirteen: 11. The Men of the Black Hand The eleven members of the Black Hand speak in clipped sentences and radiate quiet confidence. Their leader, the mercenary-turned-adventuring-warlord Grimmun Bloodtower, survived the destruction of Myth Drannor when the...

December Preview: Dragon Dreams of the Forest Kingdom Here's another work-in-progress-preview for the December "Dragon Dreams" article. If this paragraph seems familiar to you, then you've probably been reading the newer entries in my Adventuring Companies thread. ******** The One That Got...

Ooh, I like the idea of magic item property tables for making magic items on the spot. That's a pretty smart idea. Congrats on getting this book out the door. It always feels good when the job is done and the book is published (read: uploaded).

December Preview: Dragon Dreams of the Forest Kingdom For the December "Dragon Dreams" article, I've found the right adventure map: "The Bronze Vault," by the eminently talented Dyson Logos. The question is, should a wyvern lair inside or a dragon? EDIT: I'm thinking wyvern. Here we go.

Best gift is of course their time. It's something they'll never get back, and it sure feels good knowing they'd prefer to spend some of it in your campaign. Since we can't gift extra time to our favorite GMs, the next best thing is, in my opinion, the gift of rulebooks followed by the gift of...

December Preview: Dragon Dreams of the Forest Kingdom Under the new, albeit experimental, publisher/promo guidelines issued by Morrus, publishers are required to check in with our promo threads. To that end, may I present a teaser for the upcoming "Dragon Dreams of the Forest Kingdom" article...

Starting at #9 on the list of thirteen, we have: 9. Shasslan’s Swords The adventurer Shasslan leads this band of cold hearted crafters-turned-thieves. Shasslan’s Swords are skilled at sabotaging things (e.g., a shutter made to fall apart when closed; a door made to fall off its hinges when...

(Posting under the experimental promo/publisher guidelines outlined by Morrus yesterday.) Dragon Dreams of the Forest Kingdom is a series of free articles inspired by the dreams of sleeping dragons that lair on Cormyr’s borders. The inaugural article recounts the events ensnaring the Mist...

Next on from the list of thirteen are: 7. The Ferocious Five A quintet of sword-wielding Thunderlans that evince all the stereotypical behaviors Cormyreans ascribe to the people of Thunderstone, in eastern Cormyr. The four men and one woman that comprise the Five hunt from the saddle, brew ales...

More fleshed out adventuring company names: 4. The Dragon Chasers A favorite activity of elder Buckfast Lords is to tell stories to Thunderstone children of their adventures in the Thunder Peaks and Hullack Forest. These tales are embroidered by the imaginations of the Buckfast storytellers, so...
