Hey all!

Some folks ask about what I do at my day job. I write for a tech company that creates software for e-commerce sellers. Just this week, I started a series that shares the steps I took in building DMDave and everything else tied into ...

[Poll] New Adventure + Huge Announcement!

Our first big proje...

[Patreon Exclusive] New Warlock Patrons

At 1st level, a warlock gains the Otherworldly Patron feature. The following options are available to a warlock in addition to those normally offered: Mindscrew and Possessor.

[Sneak Peek] Aberranterra warlocks be like...

Mindscrew warlocks—they call themselves patchheads, blankies, or whateverlocks—are insane. Or brilliant. Neither. And both. Sometimes their effects are felt but they are never seen until the end, revealing themselves with a cackle and a bow. O...

[Poll] Tonight's content based on your requests.

Today, to celebrate Patron's Day, I put up a call for requests. I got 26 responses! Wowza!

I figured I'd then offer up a poll to see what I make first. I should start digging in around 8:00pm or so.

I hate to cut out a bunch of the stu...

Happy Patrons Day! Gimme some requests!

Hey y'all,

Been a busy week—as it always is when I'm working on a TSH adventure—but today is Patrons Day! Wheee!

Conveniently, it's also request Tuesday. So what sort of requests would you like to see made?

Let me know in the...

Quiet today.

Still plugging along on the super adventure for the month. Right now it’s clocking in around 60 some pages.

Regardless I hope to have some new stuff tomorrow.

[Sneak Peek] TSH Adventure #4 is officially drafted!

Boy oh boy. Check out that word count in the corner there. You Tether was huge? This sucker's looking to clock in at 55 or more pages. 

Of course, now comes the fun part: editing and formatting! Oh, and like... the 12+ players handouts ...

[Sneak Peek] Just a skull with gems in it... no big.

So what am I working on today? How about a colossal adventure that'll be out on Thursday?

Oh yeah... this sucker is already up to about 40-pages of content with likely another 20 or so to go.

[Sneak Peek] Something I'm tinkering with

I love hex-crawl exploration in Fifth Edition. It's a lot cooler when both the players and the Gm have no idea what's in store. I had kinda a cool idea recently (well, cool to me at least) where Abby didn't have a set map. But instead, you can onl...

[Patreon Exclusive] How to Create Puzzles for Fifth Edition

Fifth Edition has a lot of cool elements to it that GMs can use: combat, exploration, and, of course, plenty of role play. These are often considered the four pillars of a tabletop RPG. However, I believe that there is a fourth that's just as impo...

[Patreon Exclusive PDF] Serpent Men of Yig

The Serpent Men are humanoid reptiles who possess the head of a snake. They are magical creatures with many abilities, but the one they use most commonly is their ability to cast illusions upon themselves in order to appear as a regular human. Acc...

[Sneak Peek] The Original Snake People...

Tomorrow, I'll be putting out some cool, Lovecraftian (well, Howardian, really) content with a couple cool monsters.

Plus, you'll be able to play Thulsa Doom! Woo hoo!
