Cheese of Burning Protection (herbalism item) (a Febru-dairy creation)

This is so powerfully spicy that it drown out other sources of pain and mental influence.

Created for day 13 of Febru-dairy.

Cheese of Comfort (a Febru-dairy creation)

This cheese is a magical comfort food that you enjoy during a short rest.

Created for day 12 of Febru-dairy.

Moonlight Cheese (herbalism item) (a Febru-dairy creation)

Something new has started to appear at the parties of the young and wealthy, but there has been at least one story of such a party ending in the deaths of dozens of nobles and servants.

This glowing cheese is a mild drug for most people that consume it, but it is infused with pure moonlight, so...

Map: Forest, Wooden Bridge, 20x20

I created this map for one of my daughters' D&D games that she DMs for her friends.

It's a pretty simple wooden bridge over a river that flows through a section of woods. I personally think it looks a bit like spring, with some trees growing leaves and a few that haven't started yet. It could also be for a bit of fo...

Bowl of the Milky Way (a Febru-dairy creation)

This blue-glazed ceramic bowl does something useful, other than hold your morning cereal, when you put milk into it.

Created for day 10 of Febru-dairy.

Bag of Dark Gold

You never know when you might needs a bit of soil for planting things, and this bag can conjure that soil for you.

NPC: Greta Veshtarku, Farm Druid (a Febru-dairy creation)

That observant, peaceful cow is actually a powerful druid that retired to a quiet life of farming.

Created for day 9 of Febru-dairy.

Cheesehead Hat (a Febru-dairy creation)

Inspiration for this one: I live in Wisconsin.

Created for day 8 of Febru-dairy.

Spell: Cheese Shuriken (a Febru-dairy creation)

This absurd spell is directly inspired by a real life activity that would occur in an apartment occupied by myself and a few others during college. Granted, the cheese slices in question at the time were wrapped in plastic, but each would take enough abuse that nobody would want to cook with or eat it afterward.

While o...

Spell: Plowing Wedge (a Febru-dairy creation)

This spell gives me a fun, cartoonish mental image, as a giant wedge of cheese just shoves everything out of your way, leaving a clear path for you to move along.

It's 15 feet wide so that you can run down the center of the cleared path without attacks of opportunity from normal people with normal (non-reach) melee weap...

Spell: Colloidal Suspension (a Febru-dairy creation)

Sometimes you just need to moove your enemies out of the way for a moment.

I do admit that the science teacher in me shows a bit with the name of this one, but it's that knowledge that inspired the spell itself.

This was created for day 5 of Febru-dairy, a month of daily dairy-re...

Limburg's Cheese Bomb (alchemy item) (a Febru-diary creation)

Designed to be a prank by a young alchemist, this alchemical weapon can be used as a quick smoke screen...if you are desperate enough.

The  cheese within the bomb make everything smell like stinky feet, and the scent seems to attract mosquitoes, which just seems to add insult to insult.

This was created for d...

Hole Milk (a Febru-dairy creation)

Groan all you want at the obvious dad joke here, but this jar of full-fat milk is really good at making pits in the ground, short tunnels through walls, and piles of rubble from rock monsters.

This is my 3rd creation for Febru-dairy, a month of daily milk-related homebrews.

Spell: Reveal the Hidden

Sometimes you want to carefully search an area, but you just don't have the time.

This spell mentally reveals everything a 20 on an Investigation check would have given you, in a matter of seconds. It won't reveal things you would not otherwise have noticed, but is a great time-saver.

This was another spell I crea...

Holy Cow Milk (a Febru-dairy creation)

This magical milk comes from a holy cow. It stays fresh for a very long time, unless it's taken too far from the cow.

This was created for day 2 of Febru-dairy, a month of daily milk-related homebrews.

Monster: Holy Cow (a Febru-dairy creation)

These udderly peaceful celestial cows can sometimes be summoned with magic or gifted by gods of farming. Always a blessing, they provide nearby animals with health and serenity.

This is the first creation for what I'm calling Febru-dairy, a month of daily content (somehow) related to m...

Spell: Retributive Stomp of Spores

This was created in response to a homebrew prompt over at r/Brewjammer. The prompt included nebula, vindictive, and stomping ground. I used always try to use all three.

This is a 4th-level reaction spell that affects multiple targets around the caster.

Blurpmirf's Staff

This magical staff is great for going underwater, for spellcasting (it's a focus), and for fighting (it's a magical weapon). You just have to keep the staff's actual owner happy.

This was created as an entry for a homebrew contest. The contest entry, with the artwork by the contest sponsor that inspired it, can be found...

Spell: Reveal Magic

You can use this spell to show everyone the magic that is within an area.

This was originally created for my 3e games a long time ago, and I'm now updating it for 5e.

In my game, this spell also reveals faint traces of the 2022-01-31 14:52:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Dressing Mirror of the Dynasty

This easy to carry hand mirror can create a magical set of mirrors that let you see yourself and your clothing from many angles.

In my games, such an item would be something created within the Islirith Dynasty, a society that takes great pride in appearances.

Metamagic: Reinforced Spell

Add a little extra magic to your spells to make them harder to dispel or counter.

Metamagic: Gifted Spell

Share your cool caster-only spells with your friends and allies.

Metamagic: Second Spell

A new option for sorcerers that allows them to concentrate on two spells at the same time.

Arc of Stars

Even if you don't use this curved sword's magical abilities, it's still got style. :) 

I'm mentally picturing someone in a nighttime fight on the desert sands, gracefully spinning around as tiny motes of light are flung at their enemies. Or that same someone instead calling up a larger version of the scimitar's bla...

Earring of the Timely Wing

Sometimes that creepy bard or horny barbarian just won't get the hint that you're not interested. Wouldn't it be great to be able to instantly call in a helpful (and very effective) wingwoman/wingman/wingmage to get that annoying person to just go away?

This magic ring was inspired by a prompt over on 2022-01-21 05:19:05 +0000 UTC View Post

What has that dragon been up to recently?

Hello, all.

For no other reason than I felt like connecting a bit and keeping everyone updated...here's what's happening with your local D&D guy that uses the name of a purple dragon.

Coming Up Next Month:

In the past couple of years, I've sometimes done entire months of daily h...

Flying Scimitar of Tusmit

A creation from my days in high school, this magical sword has now been updated from 2nd edition to 5th edition.

Spell: Kiss of Lysis

Bestow the gift of luck on a creature with a benevolent kiss.

This spell originated many years ago when I was running my games in 3rd edition. At the time it was a 5th level spell exclusive to clerics of the goddess of luck in my world, but gave bonuses to every d20 roll for a very long time.

I made this version a...
