Location: The Menagerie of Dawn Spire of the Salt Flats by Mark Fonzen of Art Station. The dangers of the Dungeon are self-evident, from damage to the surrounding environment and monsters getting loose. But what if one incursion of the Dungeon was more targeted, more discriminate in who and...

The Houri is your archetypical seductress, using a combination of magic and social skills to attain power. Like the Demonist they are a class that’s supernatural yet doesn’t use Vancian casting, opting for percentile skills to represent their more magical abilities. They have the Hit Die, THAC0...

Builders of Might, Hunters in the Night: Integrating Other Classes Into the Beast World The Beast World is home to all manner of specialists, drawing upon the three cosmic powers of Nature, Arcana, and Divinity as well as their own gifted talents. While the setting is broad enough to support a...

Dark Mages are spellcasters who bypass the restrictions of Vancian magic by drawing upon their very own life force to power their spellcasting. As this magic draws from realms of nightmares, pain, and negative energy, their disciplines are banned in most lands and they organize in secret...

Drive-Thru RPG Store Page. The evil-aligned PC. The very phrase stirs many emotions: fear by the Dungeon Master, of players indulging in repressed fantasies; frustration from players, suffering from inter-party conflict; curiosity in all, of trying a subversion of the typical RPG story, where...

Dragonlance Dragons of Despair Cover Art, by Clyde Caldwell. With its strong emphasis on character development and plot, it’s no surprise that the Dragonlance setting’s more monstrous races got their fair share of personal expansion beyond dungeon-dwelling enemies. Draconians and minotaurs...

D&D by angiewolf of Fur Affinity. Sometime last year I reviewed the Delver’s Guide to Beast World. The initial concept is a D&D world dominated by anthropomorphic races, with a specialized social class of adventurers roaming the lands in customized wagons. Although not a pre-existing IP, it...

Location: The Biplanar Friendship Summit Edit: Removed AI art image. The bats of the Astral Sea are newcomers to the Beast World, with both discovering each other last year in 1364. The bats have taken well to exploring this strange new land, with some eager to prove themselves as guests with...

About a year ago, I wrote a review for a furry-themed campaign setting for 5th Edition, the Delver's Guide to Beast World. It entranced me with its in-depth world and neat ideas, and over time I began thinking of things to add into a potential campaign. After sprucing some of them up, I'm...

3.0 was the first Edition of D&D that I played. My exposure to TSR-era D&D came through OSR retroclones, and I played quite a bit of those along with some AD&D. I still play my fair share of 5th Edition and am not currently in any old-school campaigns, but I would definitely be up for doing so...

Thank you for your input. I may get around to doing that when I have the time.

The OSR is no stranger to thematic trends among publishers. Grimdark and weird fantasy were popular about seven to ten years ago, and Conan-style swords and sorcery can be spotted in publications like DCC's Lankhmar. But I've noticed among some of the more popular products a hewing towards...

I get the feeling that these books are put on D&D Beyond to drive interest to the main setting on the publisher's sites or Drive-Thru, but I'd love to see the worldbooks of Midgard, Grim Hollow, etc be put up on D&D Beyond like what happened with Tal'Dorei Reborn. It would be nice to see more...

How much of a harpy's magically charming song comes from sheer skill, and how much is from supernatural power overwriting how the harpy would "normally" sound? Beyond just asking for curiosity, it does make me wonder if a harpy can voluntarily "turn off" this power when singing, should they...

It's nice to hear from people who worked on the original book. I'm always happy to showcase third party products, particularly when they try something interesting and novel. As for the parts I felt were the most cumbersome for NPC bearers, it's more in that certain things are reworked rather...

Given that the Origins of Sentient Weapons are technically their Backgrounds, the mechanic usually used for representing a PC’s pre-adventuring occupation and lifestyle is reflavored to be something else. Thus, a weapon’s “background” represents a preferred mindset in regards to their ideal...

DM’s Guild Store Page. There’s always been a demand among a subset of players desiring to play as less conventional species in the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons. “Monster-lite” races such as tieflings and warforged were PC-friendly versions of common creature archetypes, to say nothing of more...

Happy to help! Curse of Strahd is an amazing adventure, I want others to enjoy it like I did.

Sounds like the Paladin is a homebrew result, unless you moved Sir Godfrey Gwilym out of Argynvostholt. A paladin will definitely increase the party's combat potential if this one can Smite Evil. However, if they end up as the one doing much of the damage in combat, will the PCs feel...
