The Sanguine Dawn Inn is a plug-and-play add-on for Fifth Edition. The inn easily fits into any campaign setting of your choice and can work as both a tavern/inn in a village, town, or city, or as a stand-alone structure at an important crossroads. Although this location is chock full of ready-made details, feel free to add, change, or remove elements to function with your chosen campaign setti...

Hey all!
It was pretty fun writing Thrown to the Wolves yesterday. I actually managed to run it with my Saturday group last night, too.
I'm probably going to do up to three variants with it, each tied to one of the four tiers; the original module is tier 2.
For the first tier, what type of threat wo...

Thrown to the Wolves is a Fifth Edition adventure for three to five characters of 5th to 7th level. It’s optimized for a party of four characters with an average party level of 5. The adventure is campaign agnostic, but can just as easily be placed into any campaign setting which includes werewolves, particularly those with a gothic horror slant. Cha...

Hey everyone!
Thanks so much for a fantastic month so far. I know I've been a bit behind on content as of late, but I'm finally getting out of the weeds. Currently, I'm about 50% done on this big inn release I'm doing with Tom Cartos which I hope to have up tonight or early tomorrow.
Additionally, I've got the answers to the survey showing that folks want to see Hot8 part 9, s...

Hey all!
I've had a couple people ask about certain pieces of content I've been working on in the past and why it may not have additional parts or appears abandoned. Popular examples include: Uncle Skeleton's Nightmare Tunnels, Hand of the Eight Part 9, Neverending Dungeon, etc.
There are three major reasons many of these projects got put on hold.

Hey all!
Hope you're having a great summer so far. I'm about to start a new series of resources for GMs that allows you to quickly set up stocked areas of interest in your games both as a resource on here and on Roll20.
These assets will make it so you can run stuff "out of the box" without having to do a lot of prep.

Found mostly in deep subterranean caverns, brinelings are fish-ogre hybrids known for their horrific appearance, especially the thick mucus that drips from their tooth maws. Their naturally sour temperament makes them a vicious foe of any creature that dares enter their lairs.

Bards who die without having accomplished what they set out to do in life rise from the grave like any other strong-willed creature. But in their case, they often return as funny bones—singing and joking skeletons. Unlike most of their animated brethren, funny bones have full sentience and memory of their former lives. And unless they are created by an arcane caster, they are fully autonomous...

Wanted to give you a taste of the latest adventure that I've been working on, titled The Vertex of Revelation. This is still a work in progress, so there's bound to be typos, logic errors, etc. Also, there's no art, formatting, table of contents, or OGL yet, either.
If you find any mistakes, be sure to share it in the Typos and Corrections channel on the DMDave Discor...

Silas is one of the four false rulers of The Vertex of Revelation. Awarded the unenviable task of protecting The Vertex's ground level, Silas spends most of his days obsessing over the cleanliness of his quarters. Even if the alarm is raised, he might not respond immediately, content to dust and vacuum. The irony of a dust mephit obsessed with cleanliness should be immediately apparent.
