You Meet on the Road — NPCs

As a companion to the first January PDF, "Camp Sights," this one is a collection of five NPCs your party might meet while on a journey! Download the PDF here.For this one, I wanted each character to have an interactive element, so that adventurers can actually make decisions as part of their encounter with this...

D&D in a Castle: Exclusive Access

Hey friends! D&D in a Castle gave me an early-access link so that you guys had the first chance to book a spot at my D&D table for Round 2, July 8-12. I'm not sure how long this link will be open, but last year my spots sold out before I had a chance to advertise them, so if you are interested in playing at my tabl...

How GM burnout RUINED my campaign (and how to fix it)

Here's tomorrow's video! This one is the true story of how game master burnout killed my first D&D campaign — and some tips on how we can avoid this fate in the future.Just FYI, the sponsor link may not be active yet — so if you want to get yourself some tea or coffee, check back in tomorrow!

I wanted you to know first... [UPDATE]

EDIT: They announced me today and it looks like you can sign up for their mailing list to get priority registration when sign-ups for my table open on Feb. 3!—Hey friends! I just signed my contract for Round 2 (July 8-12) of D&D in a Castle 2023.I'm not sure how long it'll take them to put me up on the websit...

Download your PDF here.This download contains four different settings for use when your party settles down for a night's rest on a journey from place to place.

Newsletter!

Hey all! I'm starting a once- or twice-a-month email newsletter this year, which will include some things that Patrons already get (some updates and behind-the-scenes stuff), but also a bunch of stuff that's brand new (newsletter-exclusive deals and discounts, free downloads, and potentially a tabletop gaming a...

POLL: What kinds of downloads do you want?

Hey all! As the OGL stuff continues to change, there are still a lot of variables to consider when creating game downloads for Patreon. I'm very hopeful that, due to the nature of my work, I can use the Creative Commons for everything I release here, rather than having to wait for and then sign the eventual new OGL...

Wisteria has a sweet tooth

Shot an ad yesterday for the new Mage Hand Press Witchy Cakes Kickstarter, featuring Wisteria! Couldn't resist grabbing a few stills while I was in costume. I feel like it's completely canon that Wisteria has a major sweet tooth and loves desserts!

Fine, let's talk about the OGL situation

Sorry I couldn't give y'all early access on this one — the situation and the conversation around it has been so continuously evolving that I'm very hesitant to sit on anything just in case some new statement or leak comes out.Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go take a bath and try really, really...

PDF: Fungus Folio

Penelope (character sheet here) is a mushroom farmer, so naturally I wanted her bonus PDF to have something to do with mushrooms. But more so than just introduce some fun new species to tuck away into the Survival and Nature checks in your games, I wanted to enable players to actually farm mushrooms as crops if they wa...

PDF: Penelope's Character Sheet

Download Penelope's character sheet.Penelope is my player character, but for this, we simplified her for easier use as an NPC in your game! I think she'd make a fun ally or quest-giver. This character sheet includes: Penelope's backstory and personality Suggestions for how to include Penelope in your game A...

[Redacted] Wallpapers

Hey all! For December's wallpapers, I yet again only did one shoot... so you get a little sneak preview of a look I put together for a sponsored video! Rather than me posting this sponsorship on my own channel, this one was a character created for their Kickstarter video. She's a fantasy tattoo artist! I don&#3...

PDF: Underwater Plunder

When battling enemies like Undertow and her feral merfolk, it can be challenging to come up with compelling loot — they don't wear armor or carry items, they don't really use weapons, and anything you might find in their vicinity is gonna have to be underwater! So for this one, Joe Nuzzo and I created a colle...

In case you didn't have enough Na'Krasha wallpapers

I know I've given you some Na'Krasha wallpapers already, but I think this was legitimately the only shoot I did in November, haha! You can download the new set here. (And some of them even have tusks! Since people love to ask about those 😂)

PDF: Undertow's Character Sheet

Download Undertow's character sheet.At first I wasn't sure how I wanted to present Undertow here, since I had already used images of this character for the "feral merfolk" monster stat block created for last summer's Patron-exclusive adventure, The Cold & Hungry Sea (password: dilightful). But while...

Don't leave your D&D character's personality at level 1

This is my LAST full-length video of the year! And holy crap, it was... so hard. This wasn't even a difficult or complicated video, but for some reason my executive dysfunction was off the ding dang charts. Honestly, I think I've just been really burnt out lately, and taking a break over the holidays can't ...

Weigh in on the 2022 Patron Survey!

Hey friends! As you may have heard in recent Patron streams, I will be making some changes to Patreon rewards as we enter 2023. I want those changes to improve the Patreon experience not just for me, but also for you! If you want to help me do that, please take a few minutes to fill out the 2022 Patron Survey.This is a...

PDF: Scholarly Undead

When Joe Nuzzo and I were working on Nymwen's stat block (character sheet here), I really wanted her to have the ability to raise some undead servants. But since her whole thing is that she's doing research to expand the field of necromancy, I thought it would be fun for her to have some special, homebrew undea...

PDF: Nymwen's Character Sheet

Download Nymwen's character sheet.While Nymwen was originally created as a morally grey character, I have had way more fun lately turning her into a villain, so that's what she is in this PDF! I think it would be very fun to make her seem like the big bad, and then eventually have her raise Ayana from the dead ...

The secret to preventing conflict at your D&D table

...okay, it's not really a secret. It's session zero!I've gotten a lot of requests for this video, even though everyone and their mom has done this video, I feel like?? But it felt like an important one to have in my video library considering how often I suggest that folks have a session zero, so I did my o...

PAX Unplugged!

We head home tomorrow from Philadelphia, where we just finished PAX Unplugged! I’m still building my convention stamina back up, so I definitely feel like I could’ve done a lot more, but what we did do was wonderful. I got to meet some folks I’ve so far only known online, made some new friends, got to host the Q&...

3 myths about D&D bards to outgrow

I wrote half this video in the bathtub because I was having a panic attack about getting this script done on time and for some reason that kind of helped. Anyway HERE IT IS!

Adventurer's Kitchen: Rock, Paper, Scissors

Figured I'd test out Patreon's new native video feature to show y'all another one of the upcoming Adventurer's Kitchen shorts! (My favorite so far, actually!)We chatted about this a bit in the AM stream, but: While I initially filmed the making of the D&D Thanksgiving dinner for a full-length Adventurer...
