He'll have them!

Hey thanks for all this feedback! Super helpful all around. The DMG guidelines don't worry me too much, since many of the monsters in the MM don't follow the guidelines. I'm looking at the two CR 30 monsters I have (Tiamat and Tarrasque.... which have a big power difference... guessing 30 is...

Good points all around. I based (or stole) many of these points from Tiamat in RoT, but she has a lot more than just fire going on. Thanks!!!! Really helpful!

Hey all! Finishing up a 5e campaign and the ultimate villain is Bel, former duke of Avernus (first layer of the Nine Hells). I'm hoping to get some feedback on this baddy before I throw the empowered version at my players. Note, Bel is EXTRA powerful because the players have unwittingly helped...

I see a lot of "this child is destined for greatness" signs in the backstories of my players, so I decided to create a background that encapsulated that idea. Check it out and let me know what you are all thinking. Link: https://worldbuilderblog.me/2016/11/10/blessed-background/

Thanks Bupp and Hawk! I appreciate the feedback.

So I like the idea that characters gain proficiencies in tools, but I wish there was more that could be done with some of them. To that end, I've come up with some uses for tools in my D&D game. What else can we do other than these? https://worldbuilderblog.me/2016/10/27/what-a-tool/

Hey thanks! That's what I was going for!

So I really like Storm King's Thunder and Kobold Press' Tome of Beasts. To that end I created a 16 page PDF that adds new content for chapters 1-4, a new magic item, new monster, and a whole new chapter (Pyramid of Desert Giants) so folks can add a desert giant lord to their SKT campaigns. Take...

Do you like fantasy roleplaying games? Do you enjoy stories? Do you like laughing? Then you're going to love the new podcast from the mind of The Tome Show's Rudy Basso. Have Spellbook, Will Travel is a fantasy comedy radio play about a party of mercenary adventurers and their various quests...

I definitely made it my own a bit. Seemed alien enough and if gugs were going to live in the underdark it made sense for them to have an ability like this.

Thanks for the heads up. Link fixed!

I needed a few more high-CR aberrations for my game. The Monster Manual is a little light on aberrations in general and only has a few above CR 10 (and none above 14). I've converted a few Lovecraftian horrors for 5e and my latest is the gug. (There's also a moonbeast and hound of Tindalos on my...

Thanks for coming on!!! It was great to Skype-meet you!

So I noticed that there's only 19 aberration stat blocks in the Monster Manual and that the highest CR aberration is a 14 (beholder in lair). Aberrations are the big villains in my home campaign, some I'm converting some of Lovecraft's horrors to give me a greater gallery of evil to pull from...

That's a good point about the gothic horror. Maybe I should begin the story by telling them how many people they've seen die horrible deaths in Barovia to set the mood...

So I really want to run Curse of Strahd to get a fix of that sweet, sweet gothic horror, but I also don't want to stop the games I'm currently running for a few months to run something else since my players and I are invested in those stories. I had an idea for running Strahd as a one shot that...

Thanks for the kind words. Definitely understand what you're saying. We'll keep tinkering!

So I made a superhero short film. It's a 3-minute proof of concept for a TV series I'm hoping to pitch with my writing partner. Since it's just a proof of concept the characters aren't super fleshed out, but I think the idea of a dark, gritty, over-the-top world which takes itself seriously, but...

If any are interested I've put these spiders and scorpions with my zombie dragons, blazing and dread wraiths, and werespider into a Pay What You Want DMs Guild PDF.... http://www.dmsguild.com/product/177095/Arachnids-Wraiths--Zombies--World-Builder-Blog-Presents
