I know I’m not as good as Stephen about posting when I should, and I apologize for that. It’s part family responsibilities (I have two kids, Stephen abhors children), part lack of creativity, especially when compared to my counterpart. I thought I’d get more done being housebound, but it turns out it’s harder than I thought with the rest of my family also stuck at home. I normally...

So the last Deep Dive on the beholder almost broke us. It was a huge undertaking and quite honestly, we didn’t realize what we had gotten ourselves into. So we’d like to thank everyone that voted on our Patreon and decided to take it easy on us with this Deep Dive selection, the Nothic. These fun and underrated creatures have only been around since 3.5e, but are worth taking a ...

Our monster thursday brings in a monster that needs no introduction. -Stephen
After last thursday's post on Beholders, Chris & I were pretty beholdered-out... but I knew what I had to create for this Monster Thursday. There are so many awesome and amazing beholder-kin that I just had to recreate a few of our favorites for the D&D 5e system.

Technology is weird and I am often surprised when things are invented in our history and how they develop. An example of that would be the airplane, in 1903 the Wright brothers 'flew' for 12 seconds and by the end of the day were flying for 59 seconds. In 1915, the...

Ratfolk are a strange choice to devote a Monster Thursday too, and I get it. Who needs rats? Well, sometimes you need a really weird monster to throw at your party (like the Mindcleaver) and you start thinking about where they came from. Lets jump to the conception of these guys.

The Death Knight has lived in the shadow of the lich for much of its existence, which is unfair to this powerful undead. No one in their right mind wants to encounter an unholy warrior who is dressed in black plate armor with gleaming red eyes that stare straight through to your soul. The Death Knight may not be given the same amount of love that the lich has over the editions, but...

A few weeks ago, we explored Mount Celestia and its seven mountainous layers and their inhabitants known as the archons. These are the celestial, lawful good petitioners who travel the slopes in search of enlightenment.

The Lich has never been the most powerful creature in Dungeons & Dragons. First, there was Demogorgon, and no, it’s not THE Demogorgon, just Demogorgon. Next, there is the Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon with its ridiculous CR 66 from 3rd edition. It’s a really good thing that they get along with most humanoids since it is literally a god killer. Of course, we also have the most we...

2020-01-25 23:50:08 +0000 UTC View PostSo, if you haven't figured out by now, I love the old AD&D & 2nd edition cursed items. Those versions were D&D expert level, compared to 5th edition, which is easy mode. While this cursed magic item did not exist in those editions, they are based on the idea that cursed items should have a curse (or curses) on them that made the player think really hard about using it.
And yes...

We are looking at another one of Dungeons & Dragons most iconic monsters, the Wraith. It’s been around since the beginning of the game, feared by players and characters alike for its devastating life drain ability. In a world filled with ghosts, specters, and wights, the Wraith stands alone as the shadowy creature that can create its legion of incorporeal creatures to f...
