Whatever you do end up using, I know that Fey Gifts and Bargains is a very well reviewed supplement to spice up the social aspect of fey adventures. Note that it is not itself an adventure though.

Zoe Keating, Jessica Curry, and Christopher Tin are a few of my standbys! If there's a video game you feel really immersed in, you should always look up the composer (even if the music isn't leaping out at you; that might even mean it's better ambience!)

Hello and welcome! I suspect that you'll want to look at Monk, Fighter, or Rogue depending on what elements of Eskrima you want to emphasize. If they're more of a traditional warrior and/or have supernatural vibes, then a Way of the Kensei Monk might be good starting point, especially if you end...

Not only is it not real now, but if I'm honest the tradition of optimization in D&D has largely been about avoiding the 4-8 encounter day (depending on edition) for a long time. Rope trick pocket dimension shenanigans, 5 minute utility spamming in 4E, and so on. It's incentivized by the system...

Absolutely they can (assuming proficiency). I don't think that the original fluff reason for it is well thought out at all. Cured and boiled leather carved into fitted armor isn't any more "natural" than ore from a vein smelted and forged into armor. If anything, the one that requires killing or...

The problem with spec work is that it allows established business interests with a lot of leverage to get free or near-free labor that they then turn a profit on. Fan art is on one side of this line, and though it acts as indirect marketing for a product, it is not drawn for explicit commercial...

Updated the post with a new video review from the Home Brew Crew! Gives a great summary for those interested 🥘

... But I'm biased, so watch it yourself! The Monster Menu is currently just $2.95 during the DMs Guild Christmas in July sale! As always, comments are open for feedback of all kinds 😌

The Monster Menu provides over 100 campfire meals based on creatures from the 5E Monster Manual! I was inspired by the dangerous yet promising prospect of eating monsters during Rogue-like dungeon crawls. It was developed in the Spring and released to the DMs Guild earlier this month. Every meal...

Thanks! I'm also trying to gage whether my audience wants more weird stuff, so it's basically a 2/3 split between normal/weird. They're all things I could get excited about though. Gotta avoid burnout!

FOLKS! I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm doing some grassroots research for my next supplement, and if you have a couple minutes to spare, I'd love to get your weird/cool nerd opinion. Behold, yonder google form! (I'm of course also open to comments and questions in the thread :alien:)

A bunch of stuff on the site, including everything ranging from the 4E Monster Manual to the original Temple of Elemental Evil to the most recent mainline Eberron book, is all up to 25% off! The site's sales are usually way more narrow than this, so you'll probably find something you like. Also...

Howdy folks! I had a neat chat with the folks at Worlds Unending about my DMs Guild work, it's an easy read that I think a lot of folks in this particular forum will find relatable 😎

Howdy folks! Now that I have my nifty [Publisher] tag I'm gonna try to do a thing and see if there's any interest. Basically, this is an open discussion of a previously released 5E supplement with its author... me! Think of it as a casual AMA where anyone interested can ask about the design...

In 5E, I played a Divine Soul Sorcerer from 1 to 7, then had them die off dramatically and took a break. Then, I rejoined with an Eldritch Knight Fighter at level 10 and it looks like the campaign will wrap up by level 15. Yes, I ended up playing two characters for their power spikes and I'm not...

I like this, especially since if even a single one of the player characters has a background tie to wealth or a title or an important NPC or an artifact hook, a rational BBEG might want to use them for ransom.

Circling back to the OP's theme, I think the other side of the coin from [viewing non-European-coded cultures as inferior and/or evil] is [viewing western/colonial points of view as superior/good]. The 5E alignment system, aside from being pretty juvenile from an ethical philosophy standpoint...

There's a definitely a tension between these solutions (both the core legendary/lair action economy and its alternatives) and the verisimilitude of facing a foe who feels governed by the same reality as the party. A dragon's lair actions are fairly intuitive, but Some Cool Evil Guy With Class...

This concept was one of the more popular choices in a poll I ran back in late April / early May, which I used to decide what my next DMs Guild project would be. Ultimately the Monster Menu won out, but I'll definitely include something deep on fantasy mining/smithing that focuses on materials...
