PIRANESI AND THE LIBRARY OF SIGIL IS NOW LIVE ON DMSGUILD!!

10 new species 8 subclasses and 4 species altering lineages and features are here alongside lore on the strange Library of Sigil!

With amazing art from folks across the community and layout done by @sunevial and art from incredible folks like @crowvaarts @mind-or-matter and more! This book has been so big it’s an intense labor of love for the DND multiverse, our little collective multiverse that my friends and I run the game and tell stories in, and those stories we’ve told together! It’s 4.99 on DMs Guild and Day 1 is always kinda important so either picking it up or spreading the word is such a big deal and turbo appreciated! There is so much in here I think players and DM's will be into!

Finished! I think.

A book, scribble and dice based D&D session.

I’ll be exploring the possibility of getting some notebooks printed with this as a wraparound cover, but in the meantime it’s just a fun drawing!

Good evening everyone, we have a surprise for you!

We have come a long way since the beginning of this project and after a while of deliberation we thought an update is in order. Here is the new cover of the future players guidebook for the Hollowed Kingdoms Project.

Made by @mebis-art-dump who did an amazing job of bringing this cover to life.

Oops I dropped the link to my personal file collection I use to supplement this.

It would be a shame if someone found where I keep the nerdy things I've compiled, along with lists of other resources. It would be silly if I left pdfs for Eve of Ruin, manuals, the now 66 card deck of everything, and maybe more out in the open.

Since this is actually what I use to organize and store files, there aren't listed sources of where everything came from. I might be able to help find some things, too.

The means of casting arcane spells is not easy to explain to beginners. Even with the help of an artifact such as this, it can take days to master a simple cantrip.

Okay folks.

Happy spooky month.

Happy open your ribcage and devour a victim month.

Happy best time of the year.

Happy Grimdark.

Grimdark & Dangerous 50% off for the entire month of October. Just use this link.

Don't know what Grimdark & Dangerous is? You must be new here. It's my magnum opus of 5e homebrew. Normally it costs $19.99. This month, if you use this link, it costs $9.99. I'll give you a second to wipe up that water you just spit out of your mouth using your excellent comedic timing skills you glorious potential Grimdark player.

Reader for the kicker?

This month, Grimdark & Dangerous gets it's first milestone expansion. Currently we are poised at 49 copies sold (as of writing). The next person that buys a copy triggers a file update. After 50 copies sold, all past and future buyers of G&D get an extra G&D expansion book for free as part of buying G&D. Grimdark & Dangerous: The Living Grimoire Expansion is a whole thing in and of itself, and if I were going to put a price on it, that price would be $8.99. On its own. Buy G&D, get the second book free. In fact, the only way to get The Living Grimoire is as a free expansion. This is content I've never shared before or published elsewhere. And if you wait, after this month, the price goes back up to $19.99.

Is this clicking for you yet? In the spirit of the month of October, I am slashing the price of a massive homebrew book in half so you can play as a horrible dark fantasy monster in your Halloween game. Not planning on doing a Halloween oneshot or mini campaign? Do one anyway, the amount of content in this book could write multiple distinct campaign outlines just from mixing and matching descriptive text.

You do not know how much self control is has taken me not to start this post with a Destiel meme, this is that big of a deal.

→ If it wasn't clear already, this is one of the very few posts of mine that you need to reblog.

I've always wanted to run a dnd campaign in the Elder Scrolls setting. I'm very passionate about it, and i have enough knowledge of generally everything that i feel that i would be prepared enough for any kind of campaign.

Cyrodiil is the central province of Tamriel, so it could be the starting point for the campaign.

There are only 10 player races in the Elder Scrolls games, and I feel like I know what pretty much all of their deals are, so they wouldn't be hard to implement (i know i could just repurpose dnd races into tes races but that's no fun and some things would be missing from the original tes races that i feel would be missed)

There are plenty of bad guys, too! The daedra are probably the ones that people think of first, maybe even the dragon cult or Mannimarco. But the BIGGEST villains of the setting are the Aldmeri Dominion, which is already such a classic evil empire.

The spell slots could be converted into magicka (because mana points make more sense than spell slots, sorry but it's true) and the spells and subclasses that players picked would simply have to be checked for lore accuracy.

Anyway I am very passionate about this, so if anyone out there loves dnd or the elder scrolls and is queer please reach out and entertain my madness

Wondrous Item, very rare (requires attunement)

“This journal's appearance betrays its magical nature. An ordinary collection of half scrawled pages, bound and stuffed, this book of inspiring rhymes has had many authors.

Do you hate DnD 5e's food system

I do too. That's why I went and rewrote the entire system for it, inspired by Baldurs Gate 3. As well, I went and rewrote the potion creation system just as a little extra treat. Feel free to contact me through my asks or DMs with any questions. if there's enough clarification needed I may post a rewrite with the clarifications added :D

[dandelion-jester]

Would anyone be interested in reading a book based on a DnD campaign? I'm unsure if I'll ever put it out for the public but if I did would anyone actually be interested? It's my project 'Legend of the Rat Bastards' and its based on a heavily home brewed Curse of Strahd campaign I played in. There's more info in my writeblr bio.

Please reblog for better results

Dimeritium, the cursed, wicked silver

Common, metal, weapon, armor, ammo, throwable

Dimeritium or it's common language name, cursed or wicked silver is a rare type of silver like mithril however dimeritium is an illegal metal it can still do extra harm to devils, demons, monsters and undead much like mithril and regular silver but it also drains the magic of those who are touched by it

In it's ore form it looks completely black like that of obsidian but when in it's ingot form it looks like silver but gives off a sickly bright lime green tint unlike mithril which gives off a pure pale blue tint

Dimeritium is illegal due to it's magic harming properties it is mainly used by "witch" hunters who are considered criminals due to the people they hunt are either innocent mages and nonhumans and they make bombs, weapons, armor, ammo and shackles out of dimeritium

Guys I’m dming my first ever dnd session tonight!!!

I am so nervous that I didn’t prepare well enough or balance the encounters right so I don’t know how it’s going to go but I’m really excited about it

[mostlyghostie]

A new commission, a collection of fictional books from a customer’s D&D game!

Really fun to draw and imagine how all of these fit into a campaign.

Piranesi and the Library of Sigil

Hey folks! On Tuesday when the D&D Planescape books release I will also be dropping Piranesi and the Library of Sigil on the DMsGuild! (We changed the name to avoid confusion!) But here is the front and back covers, Table of Contents and a show page of a wizard subclass. It will be releasing for 4.99 for 31 pgs! This has been a huge labor of love and I am so excited for it to release!

The Spellsmere Circus Thoughts

Are we brainrotting more? Yes! This is just a masterlist that will compile all of my little itty bitty details for the Spellsmere crew. A solid 90% of this applies to both their OG story and the D&D Campaign for the Rizz, since I'm humming and hawing having them just...be the same.

Aspen

By the gods, where do we start with Aspen. My lovely little sunshine incarnate...Well, she's originally from Barovia, one of the oldest Domains of Dread out in the Shadowfell. If we really want to be specific, she's from Vallaki, which was a fortified settlement in Barovia. She isn't overly open about where she's from, but if you get to know her and earn

She loves toys. There was a toy shop in Vallaki, Blinsky Toys, that she recalls fondly walking past growing up. Even when she was thrown out onto the streets, she would set up to rest in front of the toy shop to make sure that she wasn't alone. Gadof Blinsky, the owner of the toy shop, took her in for a little while and had her aid in dressing the dolls that sat in the front window.

Aspen's parents were a part of the Thaani, migrants from Bluetspur that were experimented on by mindflayers. She's not overly open about this out of fear of being chased out.

At the point where the Rizz meets her, Aspen is around 22 years of age.

She is a human/tiefling mix. She appears mostly human, except for sharp teeth, eyes, and tail.

She's always been very energetic and upbeat, but she's definitely learned a lot of her chipperness and positivity from her upbringing in Vallaki. The burgomaster in Vallaki mandated that there was a weekly festival to keep spirits up, so it's no surprise that she's...the way she is.

After her time with Gadof, Aspen ended up in a brothel in the settlement and...worked there for a good chunk of time. While she was a minor, she did work as a barmaid and was responsible for rushing plates and mugs to patrons. The matron was good to her but the patrons were a different case altogether.

Aspen is extremely loving in her gestures, but she is not physically affectionate for a majority of people. She'll do acts of kindness and gifts as her main love languages, but if she lets you touch her, then you're in her golden circle of trust.

Aspen is...naive. She's tried to see the good in the world to the full extent, and does tend to be blind to the damage around her. She's adopted the Burgomaster's way of life, in a way.

The Spellsmere Circus, however, is her family and no one can change her mind. Ciceran had been putting on a show for the dread lord and had met her at quite the opportune moment. They were careful to watch her, seeing if she needed the help or if she was going to be a prime candidate.

With having joined the Spellsmere, Aspen is one of the few who is not in a mirror, and never has been. She thoroughly enjoys the circus.

She sees people like Salem, Toby and Mikko as siblings (even referring to them as such), and Cici, Hjaitr, and Dita as parental/guardian figures. Chase is in a league of his own.

Aspen is not a mainstage performer. She can perform if needed (like she was needed for the Midnight Soirée), but she prefers her little shows along Artists' Alley.

Aspen's main act is contortion, but she can manipulate water with little spells that she's picked up here and there.

She loves bubbles. She firmly believes they're a blessing from the gods.

She used to be afraid of fire until she met Mikko.

Her shoulders are badly scarred from her past. She doesn't hide them, though.

She loves to climb and be thrown about. She's so full of energy that she just has to do something! Anything!

She has four tressyms that protect her tent. Three are hers and have been since she arrived at the Spellsmere (They were a welcome home gift from Ciceran), and the last one was one her and Chase adopted together.

She is a pacifist.

Chase

Chase, our beloved little meow meow, is the newest addition to the Spellsmere family outside of the Rizz members that have fallen...well, into the charm of the place. Note: he is not originally my character, and does belong to @crimsonpups (Thank you, lovely, for allowing me to use him in this beautiful little setting.) The details for this setting are what I've used to adapt him and give him my little flare, but his mannerisms and physical appearance are all crimson's design.

Chase is a painter! A lovely one at that. His nerves get the better of him at times, and his strokes can be shaky, but he's responsible for a majority of the posters and art work around the Spellsmere Circus.

Chase is a recluse. Prior to arriving at the circus, he lived in the Upper City of Baldur's Gate and did not leave his manor. He had a fully prepped staff that did his errands and whatnot for him.

It was love at first sight when he met Aspen. The two connected instantly, and they were wed about two years after he first came through.

Chase is extremely observant. Very, very observant. It's his eye for detail that helps him with his craft, but it also means that he's very aware of the going ons within the Circus Walls. He's just more keen to keep it between him and Aspen rather than share it with everyone else.

Mikko scares the shit out of him. If he sees the man coming, he'll head in the entirely opposite direction.

He's bonded with Salem and Tobias extremely easily. The three of them can be seen eating breakfast together a little earlier than some of the others.

Their proposal was absolutely adorable! He proposed to Aspen as the sun rose on a winter morning. It was just as the snow began to fall, and he knew it was the perfect opportunity. Toby officiated! It was adorable. They did a hand binding ceremony, in honour of Aspen's heritage.

He is a pacifist.

Wizards think they're so smart, with their arcane geometries and runic equations. They imagine that they can master the world through logic alone. They're wrong of course; the mysteries of nature go beyond that which can be understood using only pure reason. Even with magic items like this one, wizards will only ever be able to mimic a fraction of what sorcerers can do instintively.
