[Copper+] Tremor the Guardian of the Wallingmiotta

Tremor is a 25-foot-tall bear that dominates the Wallingmiotta. While many believe Tremor is one of the Great Titans, this is untrue. Tremor was created spontaneously through fey magic. He now acts as the ultimate protector of the forest. Tremor does not move through the Wallingmiotta quietly. He can be spotted or heard from ...

The Hand of the Eight: Chapter 5. Wallingmiotta (4th level)

A near-fatal crash. A mysterious forest filled with dangerous creatures. A machine deadset on the destruction of anyone who has come into contact with a mysterious unreadable book. A long-lost wizard. This is the setting for Chapter 5 of the Hand of the Eight adventure path, Wallingmiotta. Having just escape...

[Poll] Spin-Off Adventures

Hey all!

You may have noticed that I've created a spin-off adventure for Chapter 3. To "beef up" the adventures, these spin-offs offer experience and rewards outside of the main arc. And while they act as supplements to the story, they are not required playing for the Hand of the Eight story path.

In the latest ch...

Hey all,

Working on Chapter 5 this weekend. I spent most of last night cooking up a new map for the adventure, so I thought I'd go ahead and share what I have.

Look for it tomorrow morning.

Tales of Orbea: The Burning Web (3rd Level)

Someone is kidnapping krigs, the spider-humanoid natives of Orbea. Despite their off-putting appearance, krigs are generally passive, intelligent creatures who've helped bring many of the Weysevain Coast’s cities into the modern era of arc-technology. What would make someone or something attack the krigs? In this spin-off o...

The Hand of the Eight: Chapter 4. The Secret of the Book (3rd Level)

Orbea, the Maze-like home of the krig, was the last place that the gnome scholar Valcryn Vorpos was seen alive. Supposedly, he knows the secret of the mysterious, unreadable book called Prime and why so many are interested in getting their hands on it. Of course, the characters won't be the only ones looking for Vorpos and th...

The Hand of the Eight: Chapter 3. The Black Bird (3rd Level)

One of the most notorious criminals ever to be interred in Castlegrasp's dungeon has escaped, leaving almost no trace behind. A powerful, authoritarian noble has placed one of the largest bounties ever seen on the man's head: 20,000 gold pieces dead or alive. This incredible sum draws adventurers, rangers, and bounty hunters ...

[Poll] Which way did Mega go? (Hot8 Spoilers)

Hey all! 

Hopefully, you've had a chance to read a little bit of Chapter 3. Tonight, I'll be finishing it up and posting it tomorrow, then working through the weekend to get the other chapters out (been a little behind 'cause of life).

Anyways, ol' Mega is on the loose and headed north. But which route did he...

[Patreon Exclusive] Krigs | New Player Option for Fifth Edition

Krigs are spider-humanoids that originate from the Weysevain Maze and, by extension, the town of Orbea in Central Omeria. Intelligent and clever, thanks mostly to their connection to their diety-progenitor, the Matriarch, and all other krig, the krigs quickly positioned themselves as assets throughout most of the continent. T...

[Patreon Exclusive] It's ugly (for now), but here's the regional map for Omerian Throne

Hey all!

A couple folks have asked about a map. The map is actually the same one that showed up in Hearth for the last adventure. Cze is working on making it pretty for me, but this is where the story is taking place so far, plus SPOILERS for episode 3 which I'm working on now.

[Patreon Exclusive] Sacred Oath of the Stone Arms | New Player Option for Fifth Edition

Castlesgrasp was founded upon a granite quarry two hundred years ago. Today, the granite stones pulled from the quarry make up much of the city's walls, buildings, and even the Violet Qsar. But the granite did not come free. Soon after the mine was opened, the earlier Castlegraspians discovered that the terrain was inhabited ...

[Patreon Exclusive] Castlegrasp | New Adventure Setting for Fifth Edition

Castlegrasp, the City of Granite, is the last major city before the Desolation of Ditimaya and the Obsidian Plain cut off the rest of Omeria from the southern end of the continent.

But I need your help! In the comments below, give me some bounty hunter, ranger, and adventuring party concepts. You don't have to go into too much explanation, just a few sentences will do. So long as...

The Hand of the Eight: Chapter 2. Assault on the Ghost Holm (2nd-Level)

The sea-faring orcs of the Odzedoz clan have grown more and more dangerous over the last few months. Just recently, the tribe attacked the fishing village of Haver during a hurricane. Now, comes word that the meddlesome orcs have captured a respected Castlegraspian noble's daughter. Led by the loathsome Mega the Brash, the or...

Where to next?

This evening, I'll be releasing the second part to the Hand of the Eight, which involves the characters being super sneaky in an orc fortress.

However, I have no plan for where the story should go next. Assuming that the angle with the orcs totally wraps up in part 2 (you don't have to incorporate it), which angle shoul...

[Patreon Exclusive] Canids | New Player Race Option for Fifth Edition

Candis are dog-human hybrids that live throughout much of Omeria. Created through magical means two centuries past, the original canids were developed to guard temples, keeps, and other places of import. However, the canids were smarter and wiser than their creators expected and declared that there was more to their indenture...

[Poll] Who else lives in the Ghost Holm?

Everyone who lives on the Weysevain Coast knows that the Odzedoz orcs live among the  fog-swept ruins of the Ghost Holm. But rumors persist that some other dangerous creatures live there, too—something the orcs have been careful to avoid.

What is it? This quick survey ends in just three and a half hours.
