Stretch Goal 305 - Traps

I've decided to toss in an additional stretch goal: TRAPS! Judging by the survey I gave earlier today, it seems like everyone really liked the trap I put out earlier this week. So I'd like to do a little more of that.Also, I'm considering a micro-pivot towards more content that's usable immediately vers...

[Poll] Best post this week?

It's my goal to continue to improve and evolve the content I put out on this Patreon page for all of you. That's why I want to try out some weekly surveys to figure out what you all like.Out of all the content I've released since last Saturday, what have you enjoyed the most?

[Patreon Exclusive] Constructs | New Race for Fifth Edition

The Marvelous Land of Oz is filled with all manner of unusual creatures. Of course, you probably know about the Munchkins and Winkies and Quadlings and Gillikins. You may even know about the animals of Oz that can carry on a conversation just like a human. But did you know that Oz is also famous for its lifelike constr...

Sneak Peek at Oz

I gotta say, so far this is a whole lot of fun. The first bit I've put out are constructs that come in three flavors: porcelain, straw, and tin.More fun to come.Expect an early release tomorrow morning, and then the full deal either this weekend or Monday morning.

[Poll] PDF Formats

Hey everyone!Quick poll for you. I'm using GMBinder for my formats now, and was wondering if you all had a preference for how the material comes out. I can make it "easy to print" a la UA, or I can do the full color fancy style, too.Vote down below!

Reminder: I'm working on Oz 'til Saturday

Hey all!Just a quick reminder so you don't think I ghosted on you, but I'll be working on the Wizard of Oz campaign setting notes and rules until Saturday.

Quick Poll for One-Shot Wednesday

Hey all. Quick question for you. It's One-Shot Wednesday, so I'm going to do something adventure related. However, I got an idea for a quick book called DUMP STAT TRAPS that has 6 rooms in it built to target specific dump stats.Is this something you're cool with getting versus an adventure, or would you jus...

[Patreon Exclusive] Fire Eater Sorcerous Origin

This is a quick one I put together for an upcoming Stat Anything appearing on the blog later tonight.

I'm creating a few more monsters tonight to complement the forthcoming Polar Night adventure (the big fat one using the Dyson Logos map).

[Silver+ Exclusive] Pillar Island Campaign Basic Rules

Man, did I have fun creating this ruleset. It took a bit of massaging to get the Quick Combat rules the way I wanted them, but after I did, I was pretty happy.I still have to create a lot of the assets that go with this and will spend the evening doing that, but at the very least, you've got the core rules here so ...

[BroadSword #4 Preview] Massive 15th-Level Adventure Coming Soon

Also, I'm going to be working on this monstrosity today. December's theme is cold/winter, so I thought I'd make a throwback to Against the Giants' with this huge Dyson Logos map. I've got some pretty wild ideas for this adventure that's going to act a bit like Frozen meets Against the Giants mee...

Pillar Island Campaign Preview

So this is what I'm working on today for this month's silver exclusive (in lieu of Buckler): Pillar Island.Basically, Pillar Island is a campaign idea I've had for a long, long time--hell, probably since 2011, right when I really started getting into board games (and eventually, back into D&D).Here is the b...

With 7 more, I'll get to work on putting together the Oz setting similar to the packet I created for Dark Sun a while back. It'll give you all the basics you need. Then, if it's a ...

[Silver Tier+] This weekend... Pillar Island

I mentioned earlier today that there’d be no Buckler this month. So, instead, I’ll be creating an idea I’ve had for sometime available to silver tier+ patrons. Imagine Lost meets Hunger Games meets Games Workshop’s Mordheim. Plus, the game works without a GM. Hopefully I can pull all this off! HahaExpect a roug...

Bad News: No Buckler for October. Good News: Silver+ Premium Content

Hey everyone!The bad news is that homebrewery deleted all my files for September. I've got the original text, but none of the markdown formatting. So it'd take a lot hours to clean it all up for GMB. Just another reason why I switch to GM Binder over homebrewery.Having said that, I hope to offer something for S...
