Medallion of Holy Radiance

Shine like the beacon of divine power that you are while wearing this magical medallion.

This paladin's item originated back in my AD&D 2nd edition days. Now it's been remade for 5e games.

Secret Santa Gifts of 2024

For the past 4-5 years, I've been participating in a Secret Santa homebrew gfit exchange on the Discord of Many Things server. Each is inspired by a set of key words/phrases given by the giftee.

I volunteer as an elf, helping Santa with las...

Treasure: Moonlighter's Silver Still

When an old silversmith decided to moonlight as a distiller, he ended up with an unexpectedly popular product. He supposedly hid the recipe in the hammered dents of his still, but the still vanished soon after the old man passed away in his sleep.

This was made for the 80th Treasure Tuesday. 2024-12-31 21:13:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Hammer of Blasting

The basic idea behind this weapon, and its name, came from my earliest days playing D&D. Now it's a 5e creation you can use in your games.

Enjoy.

Treasure: Portho's Bell Ringer

This piece of wood, valued by those familiar with the man who carried it, was inspired, in a word-association way, by constant songs about ringing bells that have been playing recently.

It was supposed to be for Treasure Tuesday #79, but it's a few days late because I got distracted by holiday baking and other prep this...

Spell: Verminguard Aura

This spell functions as a magical pest repellent that works on more than just mosquitoes.

Tinder Stick

Light things on fire by hitting them a few times with this big magic stick.

Treasure: Silvra's Seven Skeletons

This strange collection of nearly complete skeletons was found concealed beneath the floor of a bakery, with no clue as to their origins.

Made for Treasure Tuesday #78.

Shield of the Righteous

This shield lets you blend the abilities used for your cleric and paladin features, and gives you an extra use of your ability to channel divine power.

Spell: Punishing Pratfalls

Made for a secret Santa thing, this spell was inspired by the words teleportation, twice, and laugh.

It's basically hideous laughter combined with picking up and dropping the target a couple of times (or more when cast at higher ...

Treasure: The Valarana Archive, Volume 17

This giant book was once part of an extensive records archive, most of which is now lost.

Made for Treasure Tuesday #77.

Solar's Flair Ammunition

The idea for this one came as I was naming the previous creation.

Enjoy!

Solar Flare Ammunition

This magical bullet, bolt, or arrow is very powerful, but can be very dangerous. You probably want to make sure your target is quite far away from you or your allies.

Blade of Immense Confidence

This magic weapon instills you with a sense of immense confidence in yourself. It could be because of all the attention it brings to you, it could be because it's a big sword.

It's probably the magic.

Treasure: Scara's Golden Gun

This golden blowgun is both very valuable and very useless. It was made for someone who thought having things made of gold mean they were successful.

Things didn't work out well for Scara.

This was made for the 76th Treasure Tuesday, the day each week I make a free, unique, nonmagical tre...

Point of Interest: D&D Club (a Club-vember creation)

While this may seem like a group of people sitting around rolling weird dice (which it sometimes is), it's actually a business that provides magical services to clients.

Made for day 30 of Club-vember, a month of (almost) daily club-themed creations.

This one is a day late. Sorry. I blame...

Monster: Fight Club (a Club-vember creation)

Rule #1.

Created for day 29 of Club-vember.

Diner's Club (a Club-vember and holiday creation)

Happy Turkey Day, all.

This wondrous magic item was inspired by the 20-pound turkey, pies, and all the other dishes made and served today in my house.

This was made for day 28 of Club-vember, an entire month of me making (almost) daily club-themed homebrews.

Plot Hook: Missing Lions Club (a Club-vember creation)

There's a mystery afoot, and it starts with a lion and a club.

A day late for day 27 of Club-vember, but here you go. I blame having to bake multiple pies for today while also distracted by other stuff going on in the house.

Mile High Club (a Club-vember creation)

This magical weapon can make a couple of creatures feel like they're flying, but they'd just be falling at a safe speed.

On an open field, the magic of this large club could take two people away for almost 9 minutes (feather fall speed is 60 feet/round, 1 mile = 5280 feet, 5280/60 is 88 rounds (8 minutes, ...

Treasure: Ceremonial Bowl of the Scarlet Host

This gaudy gold and "ruby" bowl was once used by a blood cult. Now it could be anywhere.

Made for the 75th Treasure Tuesday, the day each week I make a free, unique, nonmagical treasure for DMs to drop into their games for treasure hoards, nobles' collections, museums, black markets, or anywher...

Point of Interest: Chess Club (a Club-vember creation)

This is a place where people go to play chess. It's not exactly fun for everybody.

This was created for day 25 of Club-vember, a month of me making daily, club-themed homebrews.

Rotary Club (a Club-vember creation)

Things go round and round while you wield this large piece of wood.

Made for day 24 of Club-vember.

Yacht Club (a Club-vember creation)

Travel in style thanks to the power of this magical belaying pin.

Created for day 23 of Club-vember.
