Yes! These are great. I love #6. Made me feel for a mind flayer!

Nice! I like these a lot. Love the Star Trek reference too!

Again, we agree to disagree. The way you've generalized here works, but it's also cool to be specific. You might think one way is stronger, but others would say specificity is the soul of narrative and want to see something more focused. I'm cool with people contributing to the list any way they...

Cool. We agree to disagree. It's really an exercise in thinking about how you could humanize a demon lord, if you wanted to. I did want to and I don't think my players would balk at it. If yours would, don't use the hook. If you've got some of your own ways to humanize more human villains, go...

So in my latest blog post, I discussed some humanizing villain motivations to craft a deeper, more layered story rather than having some villains who are evil for the sake of being evil. I thought maybe we could come up with some more relatable, humanizing motivations here that can work as...

I agree. Things break down a bit at higher levels and it can really depend on party makeup and number of resources remaining how a fight goes. I have a level 15 group now and everything is so swingy.

Thanks, Dave. Great question. I loved the catastrophic dragons, but for fifth edition I wanted them to be able to compete with the beefier dragons that already existed. 5e combats, in my experience, are quick and brutal with weaker creatures, so to get close to the payoff of the catastrophic...

And now I've updated and put the archons into a shiny, new, pay what you want, DMs Guild PDF. http://www.dmsguild.com/product/171477/Archons--World-Builder-Blog-Presents?

And now you can grab the updated catastrophic dragons in a shiny, new, pay what you want PDF on the DMs Guild. http://www.dmsguild.com/product/171480/Catastrophic-Dragons--World-Builder-Blog-Presents

Thanks for this feedback. I understand your criticism. It's always good to have constructive feedback and I appreciate what you're saying. The idea behind the article is actually to provide the stat blocks for high CR monsters since there aren't as many at the moment for 5e. NPC personalities...

So I wrote a companion piece on my blog to help promote the article. Get a free 6th baddy, the orc punisher, over at World Builder Blog if you want a little preview. http://worldbuilderblog.me/2016/01/07/the-orc-punisher/

Hey everyone, for the last few weeks I've been working on an adventure for my players where they fight Santa. But what? Why? How? Hopefully it all makes sense in the PDF I put together. Check it out. It's my gift to the RPG community for an awesome year...

So I created 5e stats for Santa and his crew because I'm designing a free adventure on my blog where folks can clash with the North Pole crew. Check out the map of the workshop and let me know what you think. Thanks! http://worldbuilderblog.me/2015/12/22/map-of-santas-workshop/

So I designed monster stats for Santa and his minions, but I needed a reason for my PCs to fight him. So I created an ultimate mind control item that an empyrean on the naughty list got its hands on. After centuries of getting coal, he's taking it out on everyone else by taking over Santa's...

I'm designing a holiday themed high level adventure and I'm hoping to get some feedback on Santa and his minions (long story why the party is going to go after his big red oneness, but in a word - mind control). Take a look and let me know what you think of these...

So I'm writing a holiday themed adventure on my blog... which meant I needed create stats for Santa! Take a look and let me know what you think. http://worldbuilderblog.me/2015/12/08/5e-santa-stats/

Awesome!!! Thanks, Connor!
