NPC: Malpa, Silver Queen of the Jungle

This NPC was created as part of a Secret Santa program run via Discord. It was inspired by the keywords sci-fi, animal, and primitive.

Gift of the All-Father

This item was created as part of a Secret Santa program run via Discord. It was inspired by the keywords norse, sorcerer, and hinder.

Mantle of the Berserkir

This item was created as part of a Secret Santa program run via Discord. It was inspired by the keywords norse, sorcerer, and hinder.

Plot Hook: Unwanted Celebration of Life

Inspired by a prompt on r/Brewjammer with a set of keywords (return, dead gods, and cheer), I came up with this plot hook.

What if something ancient and powerful real...

NPC: Clupea the Red, Distraction for Hire

I got the idea for this NPC and her name a while ago, and then as I was building the character today I used a little further inspiration from Peggy Carter (Agent Carter), Carmen Sandiego, and "The Woman in the Red Dress" (The Matrix).

Metamagic: Crashing Spell

Do your enemies keep using counterspell to ruin your day? Ruin their day with this new metamagic option.

I imagined this as the sorcerer sending part of the broken, disrupted energy of the blocked spell back to the caster of the counterspell like some sort of bad feedback.

Metamagic: Echoing Spell

Adding a new option for sorcerers. This one causes a spell, such as fireball, to repeat in the same location after a very short delay.

Amulet of the Spirit Bond

My next video will be highlighting homebrews related to familiars. The idea for this magic item just for familiars popped into my head, so I made it.

The idea behind this is that it uses and adds to the bond between a spellcaster and their familiar, benefiting both.

Enjoy.

Dart of Speed

I created the original version of this back in high school almost 30 years ago.

This version is updated for 5th edition and is better balanced than 17-year-old-me's creation was.

Stonestrike Hammer

Somebody out there wants a hammer made of stone. This might fit their character.

It's a magic hammer designed to break things. Constructs are close enough to things to qualify, and just for fun it is also great against creatures made mostly of stone or dirt.

Patreon entry visuals poll

Greetings all.

Since I started posting on Patreon back in 2019, I've added colored images to each of my entries for consistency (blue for spells, yellow and blue for items, yellow for subclasses, blue and red for monsters, and so on).

While this does give me a little bit of control over how each entry looks on the...

Spell: Tenacious Life

Let's start off 2022 on the right foot, with a brand new spell for the harried healers out there!

The idea for this spell struck me about 20 minutes ago, and I had to make it instead of just adding it to my ideas/to-do list.

This new spell lets a target have all of the yo-yo fun of falling down and getting back up...

Sandman's Ammunition

Perfect for when you want to knock out a group of guards all at once so you can sneak into a place without causing too much trouble, these arrows, bolts, or sling bullets release a burst of magical sleep dust on impact (becoming the center of an up-cast sleep spell).

Endless Acid Vial

It looks mostly empty, but you can use this vial to splash acid at creatures you don't like.

Sticks and Stones

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never...ouch!"

This pair of magic clubs not only allow you to hurt things by hitting them, but they also make it so your words do hurt them.

Merry Xmas. :)

Emberspark Wand

Anyone can use this magic want to throw a bit of fire at their enemies.

Updated 2023-03-22: Added new feature and clarifying text. The wand casts the lowest possible version of the cantrip, but if you go with the optional attunement, it improves with your character level like a known cantrip.

Spell: Slay Bells Ring

My son showed me  a weapon he got in a video game that looked (and sounded) like a set of handheld sleigh bells, and I was instantly inspired to create something called "slay bells".

The result is this dangerous spell. The rings involved in the visual and the spell's name come, of course, from a popular holiday son...

Map: Ice, Open Sea, 50x50

If you need a large expanse of frozen sea for an epic winter conflict, this gridless battle map may serve your needs.

This image is intended for a 50x50 square map, using Roll20's usual 70x70 pixel squares. You should be able to stretch or shrink it for other VTTs without issue.

The full map is nearly 5 mb, so the...

The Hagstaff of Torum Gek

Inspired by a post found on Facebook, this magical staff allows a spellcaster to draw on the power of a slain green hag, but only while attuned to and holding the staff.

Button of Distraction

If you need to distract someone with the sound of your voice, this magic button lets you do just that.

Perfect for diverting someone's attention when you need it. Could also be fun for a ventriloquism act.

Homebrew Highlights #8 - Food & Drink

Latest video has been posted to YouTube. In this one, I highlight some of my food/drink-related homebrews, as well as creations made by others.

Button of Taking Back

"I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that."

It is said that you can't unsay something you've already said, but with this simple button imbued with powerful magic, you can do just that.

McComb's Mystical Mover

This magical horseless wagon allows you to move rapidly across the land or even through a battlefield.

You can drink this potion to get most of the benefits of a short rest in a matter of seconds.

Patron's Connection

This magical ring allows you to ask your otherworldly patron several questions every day. As a DM, I would also allow you to speak with your patron to check in and report any progress on whatever your patron has you doing.

Created at the request of a patron.

Unpleasant Surprise

This magical sword cane is not only a concealed weapon, it lets you start a fight by knocking your foe to the ground. Plus, if you get hit, you can use it to instantly retaliate.

Created at the request of a patron.

Sword Cane (weapon)

This type of weapon is a thin blade concealed within a cane or walking stick. Useful for when you don't want to appear armed.

Button of Boom

Not just a harmless button for holding your shirt closed. This magical button can be activated to cause a noisy, and deadly, explosion.

Boom.
