House Rule #3: Reading Scrolls

Context for this house rule
The scrolls you're providing as loot just aren't being read. Spell casters would prefer casting their own spells than relying on scrolls and no-one else can read them anyway. Why even bother dishing them out as treasure! This house rule allows others to cast spell scrolls, at a ...

House Rule #2: Removing exhaustion

Context for this house rule
If House Rule #1 : No Mo' Yo-Yo (I immediately regret this name) is adopted, exhaustion is mechanically easier to receive and therefore we need more ways to remove.

Rules as written provides few such occasions (only 2 by my count: long rest removes one level and greater re...

House Rule #1: No Mo' Yo-Yo

Over the years, we've all home-brewed our games across all the versions and systems to fix the little things we personally find problematic. Maybe it's to make the game a little grungier or perhaps more heroic. Maybe the house rule is only for a specific campaign as its inclusion contributes tonally to the game. Whatever ...

Grimthorn (CR10)

torgny hylén post Grimthorn (CR10) from patreon

A Grimthorn is a cathedral-sized carnivorous plant, found exclusively in the upper canopies of vast jungles. The mass of trunk-thick black aerial roots anchored in the upper canopy allow the plant to position its singular enormous, thorn-rimmed flower-maw near the jungle floor. The ambusher preferes arboreal man-made cons...

Airship crash landing [70x50]

torgny hylén post Airship crash landing [70x50] from patreon

Scenario 1
You know how it goes, flying along in a perfectly good airship when a frikkin' red dragon swoops in out of nowhere and we begin "emergency descent protocols", although I think our problems are only really beginning if we survive the crash.

Scenario 2
There you are, concerned with all the th...

Omu ruins [70x50]

torgny hylén post Omu ruins [70x50] from patreon

In the lost ruins of Omu, its resplendence covered in a century of jungle growth and mold, its tiled roads broken and dull, lies an otherwise nondescript intersection. In the south an old reservoir choked with reeds and pond scum, towards the north a series of dilapidated ruins - some still standing, although their interiors ...

Hi all, I'm making the TotEM pdf available for free and the first 50 images.

TotEM : Theatre of the Elucidated Mind

Hi and welcome to a little idea I’ve been working on for a couple years. Consider this a prototype as I iron out the kinks. If you have any revelations while playing, I’d be happy to hear what worked or what didn’t work for your group.

This is an idea to augment Theatre of the Mind storytelling for VTT spaces by u...

Build-Your-Own River Pack 2

torgny hylén post Build-Your-Own River Pack 2 from patreon

Each transparent object has been coloured corrected for each of the 3 water types, so now you can have sunken ships in the brown bog or floaters in the swamp green. Lovely. The underwater ruins delta map is a massive 80x80 and is an example of a kit bashed river map made using only these and River Pack 1's assets.

Build your own river encounters on 3 types of water (fresh, brown and swamp) in a range of map scales from 20x20 up to 80x80. Use the transparent objects to create river banks, islands, sunken ruins and ships, fields of lily pads or floaters (of the humanoid kind) or just keep it open water. Five canoe sizes and a few boats r...

Executioner's Run

torgny hylén post Executioner's Run from patreon

As found in the Tomb of Annihilation, this is a 15' deep pit, 50' wide and 200' long that determines the innocent from the guilty. Those charged with a crime are kept manacled to stakes on the left until it is their turn to drop down (or be thrown down) into the pit unarmed with only simple rags on their back. At the same tim...

A 40x40 map of an icy lake with ice floes. You could use this map for the Lake Monster encounter in Bremen. Included are 5 variations as to the large ice floes, two 4-man rowboats (one of which is leaky), a capsized boat and an oar. Oars are critical to manoeuvring a rowboat and so are wonderful mcguffins to use against your ...

Base 12 Glyph Numeral System

An original 12 based glyph numeral system for use in your game. I reckon this can easily fit in a fantasy setting as a lost civilisation's numeral system, it's straight up and down design being good for stone. That said, this could also be a weird alien cypher in a sci-fi setting, using a digital display instead of stone.&nbs...

Accepting map requests

Hello patrons,

I've just wrapped up a massive map creating project for Tomb of Nine Gods and so my calendar is relatively open to accept new map requests. Drop me a line if you have an idea. No guarantees of course, but if it sounds cool to do — I'd be happy to create something you specifically need.

Treehouse Boss Assassin Vine

A four staged boss battle against a monstrous assassin vine in a wooden treehouse that is being torn apart during the course of the combat. Worse still, the tree house is a hundred feet up in the tree canopy. At first everything seems normal, a nice treehouse replete with beds, fireplace, bookshelf and a lute... but all the w...
