GOOD!

So very rarely do i post but this is making me crazy!

My Mom Loves all things fantasy and S-Fi and and thinks it is so totally awesome that I am a Dungeon Master.  

I have asked her multiple time if she wanted to play but she always comes up with some excuse to not play but will sit nearby fascinated by the game.

She finally admitted to me today that she thinks that at 57 she is “Too Old” to play even though she loves it.

Hey you know those condition rings Matt uses? I found the legit same ones on Etsy! They are licensed for production and sale by the guy who designed the ones Matt uses, so if you want the exact ones Matt has, this is actually the only place to get them legitimately.

They are great quality and a good size! Plus when I ordered them he sent me some great joke ones as a bonus:

Definitely recommend!!! PLUS I found out the dude who prints these runs a game shop in my city so I stopped in and met him. He’s SUPER cool and committed to producing a quality product that is licensed and supports the original creator, plus he keeps his prices lower than the competition. Support Mike! He’s rad!

Here’s a template for homebrew campaigns and adventure with a layout like 5e modules (probably usable with other games such as Pathfinder). After getting a module (Yawning Portal), I found it was very efficient to put down needed information and was a lot easier to quickly reference key details. Bolded lettering and line breaks make it a lot cleaner than I’ve ever scribbled into a notebook. It feels very easy on the eyes to navigate when your players are raising hell.

Inside, I’ve included a a few sections and a small description of them, including a couple of examples with similar structure and vocabulary which closely resembles modules, helping to keep a cohesive feeling. I highly recommend creating a map using a website or actual program to make it look nice. Roll20 I think has some good stuff, but if you aren’t needing a polished map, Google Docs does have some shapes and lines that work just as well though.

Since I’m still a bit new to Google Docs, the file is viewable only, but you should be able to make a copy for yourself and edit to your hearts content. If there’s any adjustments I need to make or if there’s any adjustments that would make it a better template, please let me know!

Perfectly Ordinary Dog

Low strength, very low dex, low constitution, high intelligence, low wisdom, godlike charisma

Is capable of doing anything a PC can do (climb/intimidate/bluff/etc) but with disadvantage on anything that would be difficult or impossible for a dog.

A loyal dog that follows the party. No one knows where it came from. It does its best to help the party, but it only knows a few generic commands. They are:

Sit: Perfectly Ordinary Dog sits. Leave It: Perfectly Ordinary Dog disengages from all opponents. Shake: Perfectly Ordinary Dog casts Earthquake. Come: Perfectly Ordinary Dog casts Teleport on itself to move directly next to the person who issues the command. Stay: Perfectly Ordinary Dog casts Turn to Stone on itself. The effect lasts until Perfectly Ordinary Dog is told otherwise. Speak: Perfectly Ordinary Dog casts Speak With Animals on itself. In addition to the spell effects, it removes disadvantage from all rolls involving speech (bluff, etc.) Sing: Perfectly Ordinary Dog uses Bardic Performance. Heel: Perfectly Ordinary Dog casts Cure Light Wounds on the most injured party member within range. Down: Perfectly Ordinary Dog casts Gate and summons a portal to a random netherworld dimension.

A sealed glass vial filled with a thick red liquid that appears to be blood. If consumed, the drinker becomes instantly certain that it was indeed blood.

A sealed glass vial filled with raw licorice powder.

A sealed glass vial containing a memory of darkness.

A sealed glass vial containing the magically preserved, blood-like sap of the Gulthias tree. Knowledgeable PC’s will know that the immense, twisted, black tree sprouted from the greenwood stake that was used to kill a vampire of terrible power.

A sealed glass vial filled with dozens of expertly amputated pixie fingers.

A sealed glass vial containing three magically preserved acorns taken from an oak treant.

A sealed glass vial filled with a pale blue, milky, potion. If consumed, during the drinker’s next restful sleep they receive a vision from their deity. The vision takes the form of a dream, in which they will be imparted with instruction or advice that their god requires them to know. The message can last for hours or be as brief as a single sentence depending on the deity’s personality and the length of the instruction. The deity may be less than pleased to be sought out in this manner and their instruction may simply be a warning never to do this again. The creature will wake normally, remember the dream perfectly and their sleep is otherwise unaffected.

A sealed glass vial filled with slug slime.

A sealed glass vial containing a single wart from monkey’s finger.

A sealed glass vial filled with a black oily liquid. If consumed, the drinker is wracked with a vivid and specific nightmare the next time he sleeps. As the nightmare begins, the dreamer finds himself in a dark forest. In the corner of his eye, the dreamer see something is following him. Turning back, he sees a menacingly large wolf, standing on its hind legs. Eyes adjusting to the darkness, the dreamer sees the monster’s throat has been slit cleanly. The gaping wound opens and closes noisily with it’s the creature ragged breathing. As the dreamer’s gaze drifts downwards, he can see a large silver dagger covered in blood, clutched in one of his hands. The dreamer’s heart pound in his chest as both he and the wounded werewolf settle into fighting stances and sprint towards each other. Both parties crash into each other and grapple for dominance. The silver dagger plunges into the wolf’s furry hide as it’s monstrous claws flay the dreamer’s skin straight down to the bone. The dreamer manages to sink the blade between the creature’s thick ribs and into its heart but the dream ends as the the monster clamps its toothy maw onto the dreamer’s neck causing his life’s blood to spurt out onto the forest floor.
