On one of our recent streams, we made some status effects for Roll20. The link above is to the RegalGoblin's Toolbox page where you can find the "Roll20 Token Status Effects Download". This is a .rar file that when unpacked has the AC tokens we made on stream, plus the other ones I've been using for a time. I'm also attaching...

The campaign is coming along! We've got art, overlays, and a first play date: This Tuesday (14th) at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern, so an evening show in the US and a VOD for the EU.
Final details are still being fleshed out, and things can change up to the last minute, but here's what I'm expect as of this moment.

Hello there Patrons,
What I have linked for you here is a playlist of various cartography sessions, all speed up at 8x or 10x speeds to give an overview of the map making process. As time goes on and more maps are made, this playlist will be updated.
Greetings!
I've been building up a few things in the background that may be interesting, but aren't worth spamming inboxes for. So here they are in one bigger post collecting lots of little bite size nuggets of back end content creation.
Maps!

5th edition D&D is a well packaged and streamlined machine. Its rules are simple and straightforward, which makes it very easy to tightly package reminders for our players. The attached images are ones I give to my players for our 5th edition games to remind of what actions they can take in a combat round, and to keep hou...

Hello there Patrons! Here are some backend details for you. We've got some screenshots of overlays, and a little bit more about the details of the campaign. The only spoilers here are details that will be revealed within the first few minutes of play, so you can read on ahead without problem.

Our first new campaign of the year is also going to be our first foray into a series of shorter campaigns. It is called, "Light of Illumis" and centers around 4 clerics who want to use a Philosopher's Stone to render all undead vulnerable to sunlight. We will pick up their story near the end, as their agent is delivering to t...

Below is the short backstory of a wandering cleric PC that I will probably never get to play.

When I work out details of the world, sometime I write backstory or lore for NPCs that never intends to see the light of day. The idea is to build the structure of the world and how things came to be, and then to show the players to consequences of these things. That is to say, I might write many paragraphs explaining how a p...

This test class is very similar to the MP rework for mages, but with some significant differences.
1) Spell casting is limited by encumbrance, so it can be done while wearing armor (in theory)
2) Sorcerers don't pick their spells, they learn them based on the direction of their theme / flavor / what they've been d...

One of the maps I'm working on (sometimes on stream, sometimes in the background), is the original formation of Arcadia, pre "The Breaking". This is a WIP (work in progress) for the year 0 map, mostly looking at different biome types.
F = Forest
P = Plains
D = Desert
B = Badlands
H = hills / rough terrain
This winter, with may campaigns wrapping up, is a time to do some side projects I've been thinking about for a while. This instruction video on how to change the way you eat your ice cream is just the tip of the iceberg.

I was sitting on the porch having a good reflection on what the best way to organize this Patreon account and realized I've been going about this the wrong way. Rather than a series of titles and rewards that mostly go unclaimed and unused, this should be a way for people to fund the specific shows they like.
