Update on My Health

Hello Fellow Black Dragons

As most (some?) of you know, I was diagnosed with cancer just over 3 years ago. I have mentioned in a couple of updates as it affected my ability to release a couple of issues during this time.

I recently had to go through radiation treatment and just wanted to let you know it was successful, and as it stands now, there is no active cancer. YAY!!

Issue 36 Preview

Hello Fellow Red Dragons

I just wanted to share a preview of Issue 36 of d12 Monthly, which is the final of my exclusive OSE issues. After this one, I go back to a more edition-agnostic model (having said all that, you can still use a lot of the past 4 issues with most old school hacks and editions).

Changes to Tiers

Hi Fellow Rust Monsters

As mentioned a couple of times before, I am re-jigging the tiers here starting in one week's time. On April 23 I will create two new tiers.

The first is a replacement for the current D12 Tier for Non-Australian Members. The current tier will be still available to all who are currently on it, but from April 23 I w...

More Gods! By David - A Patron

My game is an odd blend of Superhero, Fantasy, & Sci-fi, so this will work best in an Eberron like setting where technology is more advanced.

Recently a triumvirate of new gods appeared and are competing with the gods of old (which tend be more nature related). These new upstart gods have also recently formed nine muses to carry out their interests, as well as the memes.

Bonus Content: Deities of Aythia

Hello Fellow Avatars

I just thought I would post this in case anyone was interested in my own campaign world, or wanted a list of deities to use in their own home campaign.

It's a one-page list of the deities in my own campaign, and a little on how they fit within the world.

Terry, a fellow patron, asked me for something like this, so you can thank him for getting this to yo...

A Change for Issue 33

Hello Fellow Bullywugs

I have changed the focus of issue 33 (due for March) from Arcanists & Divine classes for OSE, to just Arcanists (magic-users & illusionists). 

I did this as room ran out quick when I started to write up all the spells. And so, I will change the publishing schedule to include the divine classes (cleric and paladin) to issue 34. 

Hope tha...

Hello Fellow Hobgoblins
