Alright, the Darkness-spammers are here to party; Devils have a huge natural advantage in darkness, so it just makes sense to keep some squidlocks around to ink the place up. More even than that, though, these warlocks are built around looking and feeling powerful, around making sure that when they take an action, something o...

Experimental Blood-fueled Hellfire Pyromancies are the name of the game with these cults and subclass; they've got the power and flexibility to go a whole cultin' career without ever casting a non-fire spell, though said career is likely to end with them consumed by their own magical recklessness.
The great plague is perfected, let the age of cleansing begin! Unless you're still working through stuff, in which case.... uh, don't do that! These Baalzeboys play a bit oddly; they want a lot of wounded and afflicted enemies around them so they're incentivized to spread their damage around, dropping slow-damaging curses and...

Glasya is one of the most enthusiastic collaborators in the hells, and her cults reflect that trait, often found in tense alliances with cults devoted to other entities. This warlock and cultist set are centered around getting someone else to do their fighting for them, stacking powerful buffs to turn their chosen champion in...
2025-08-04 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostBlessed be, I have not perished under July's heat. This year's renfaire was 30 degrees cooler than last's, which is good because I was fighting in armor and literally would have died. Now only August's furor remains to be faced; my hopes of surviving the season remain high. Warg Riders will be pleased to find that the Early A...

Got a proper Strahd for you at long last, based very directly on the work of Dragnacarta; I figure no sense in reinventing the wheel when he'd made something excellent already, and I really had to stretch to make something I like better than it.
I've got some exceedingly cool monsters from DM Tuz here today, an old friend who you may know from his work adapting Darkest Dungeon to 5e; here you'll find a spread of catlike fairies called Feylines, and a bunch of offbeat golems made from things like gl...

Levistus is quietly the angriest person in the hells, forced to manage his layer through just yelling real loud from his frozen tomb, ever since Asmodeus cut his power budget to beef up Glasya's after ruining his reputation.
His subclass is more of a bottom-up design than some of the others I've done, revolving mechanic...

Look, you just can't have 45 devil-cultist stat blocks without some of them being themed around torment; what distinguishes these guys from the whip-and-chain crowd on the demonic side of the aisle is they're not particularly into it; suffering is all about dour self-improvement and grindset for these folks.
On the subc...

Got a two-for-one deal on archdevils today; I didn't forget about everyone's least favorite archdevils (okay maybe a little), they just needed time to cook! These a little stripped back in their power and complexity budgets, but that's because it's meant to be reasonable to run them as a duo, both in terms of challenge to the...

Jeremy Bentham is one of my favorite philosophers, but he really screwed us over laying the groundwork for the modern prison-industrial complex, so bit of an L there.
In D&D, though, oppressive security and a surveillance state can be fun! Here's the cults of Dispater, good for prison wardens and spymasters. I've al...

You know, demons got five warlock subclasses in my demon book, I think it's only fair to do nine more for devils, with cults for each of them.
After all, how the hell are you supposed to integrate a devilish big bad into your setting without a robust cult architecture to hang them off of? These devils are Distinct Char...

More updates to some basics; the myconids were maybe my worst stat blocks to have survived this long, so it feels good to get them cleaned up properly, and it was a fun challenge trying to make the merrow feel distinct from the twenty other sorts of merman I've got already.

Got a beefier elder brain variant here for those who want more of a solo fight from it, and and an update to carrion crawlers that tries to address some of my pain points with them; as scary as 1 minute of inescapable paralysis might be, being locked out of a full fight like that is kind of lame.
June heat is oppressive out here (especially if you're in armor), but Free RPG Day nears; don't forget to light a candle for Martin of Tours, patron saint of not paying for things.

More 3rd party adventurers! These ones are based on MCDM's Beastheart and the Merchant class by Taron Pounds; both deliver really satisfying encapsulations of their core fantasy and play delightfully at the table.
