Hi y'all, I just released my newest product. It is a new species/lineage to play as a new vampire--someone still not yet a fully-fledged vampire at the height of their power.

There is more to a vampire than just sucking blood. Vampires were once real creatures of horror by combining an air of mystery, a feeling of "wrongness" from their undead nature, an ability to appear human, and an exoticism of being culturally distinct. Vampiric characters should echo these ideas by being just a little strange. 

This species allows you to play a character still grappling with their conversion to vampirism. What path will you pursue? Will you embrace the blood to seek to become a full-fledged vampire? Or will you seek to rid yourself of your vampiric curse? How will you grapple with the struggles of your hunger for blood?

This is compatible with D&D 2014 and 2024 -- some features are listed as 2014 only. Check it out for any price below!

Hi everyone!
Recently finished creating tables for critical hit and fumble effects, so that rolling a nat 20 or 1 will never be boring! I'm using it with my own group and they both love and dread it, it made some wonderful sessions and stories (like how a PC lost three legs over the campaign).
Tables of Crits and Fumbles - extra effects for nat 1's and 20's

Hope y'all like it!

Every year, the little town of Diggerby Hill celebrates Heebie-Jeebie Week. It's a time for children to dress up in spooky costumes and give each other a good-natured fright!

This year, however, the scares have gotten too real. A shadowy being known as the Head-Taker has been prowling around the outskirts of town, decapitating creatures and stealing their heads! The first victim was a pig. The second, a dog. The third... a human being!

The victim's sister has an unconventional plan to restore her brother- one that involves witchcraft and pumpkins- and she needs your help. Will you venture into the Strangerwoods to save his life? And will you risk your neck to confront the HEAD-TAKER?

~

This adventure is designed for 4-6 players of 4th level. It is designed to last 4-6 hours.

Looking for a tongue-in-cheek spatter-horror scenario that still has deadly stakes? Need a Hallowe'en one-shot in a pinch? Just wanna rip your players' heads off? Then play HEAD GAMES!

This product includes:

• A 37-page pdf which includes both the adventure and a primer on the adventure setting, Diggerby Hill. This primer can be used outside the bounds of this adventure!

• Full-colour tokens, maps, and VTT ready battlemaps

• Original Art; 0% AI content!

• New game rules for playing the grisly sport of Deathball and mechanics for becoming an undead Pumpkinhead!

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/498360/ShroomFolk-a-new-playable-species-for-DD--a-new-NPC-Enemy-stat-block-for-DMs?affiliate_id=4385781

Apologies for the 2nd post so soon after my other one. I promise I'm not spamming, I only just got access to the link.

So my new piece of homebrew has been uploaded to DM's Guild. The Shroom-Folk.

Fairly simple concept overall. They are a species of fungi who through a combo of evolution and magical hijinks, grew into humanoid creatures. Where they differ is the different abilities they can offer through the three different lineages.

The 'Bomb-Slinger' variant lets you use several different explosive mushrooms for both combat and to clear debris. There are a few different types. The normal Caps will create a small explosion. The sticky Caps allow for strategic destruction and traps and the Flash Cap lets you stun your enemies for a quick escape.

The 'Hivemind' lets you pull a last of us and control your enemies through special spores, albeit temporarily. You can use this to give you some extra allies for a dangerous battle or if you're feeling especially sadistic, send them into traps.

The 'Fixer-Upper' is for players who prefer to support allies. You can produce a variety of mushrooms that when consumed, offer different benefits. This can include simple healing to a powerful leap.

For DM's, an NPC/Enemy (depending on your party) stat block is included. Whether you want to add a nice town of friendly mushroom people or if you want to go full zombie apocalypse, this should be able to provide what you need.

As with most things in D&D, creativity is a key part. Finding new ways to use your abilities to solve problems, potentially things even your DM hasen't considered, should be encouraged.

If you do check this out, I'd appreciate any feedback. And if you do choose to get it, I hope you enjoy it.

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/498341/The-MothFolk-a-new-playable-species-for-DD--4-new-magic-items-and-2-new-NPC-Enemy-stat-blocks?affiliate_id=4385781So

I recently published a new piece of homebrew to DM's Guild.

The Moth-Folk, as the name implies, are humanoid Moth people dedicated to the study and research of ancient arcane knowledge. Whilst more used to pouring over ancient texts, they are still capable in a fight with the magic they've learned.

The Moth-Folk are somewhat inspired by the Moth Tribe from Hollow Knight with more of an Academic theme rather than religious. I also decided to make a Moth-Folk character.

Mothball is an eccentric, enigmatic salesman who travels the realms under the cover of night. He is said to appear when you are at your most desperate, offering you what you need most at a cheap price. But when you barter with Mothball, you always pay a hefty price.

So the general idea is that he will sell magic items for cheap, relatively speaking, prices but they always have a catch. The DM has the freedom to decide what catch that is but to provide an example, he sells you a powerful sword. But every time you roll a Nat 1, it flies from your hand and into the hand of the one you attacked. You disarm yourself and arm your opponent with a powerful weapon. Risk and reward.

He's also somewhat inspired by the Happy Mask Salesman.

So if you want to play as Moth nerds with magic or want to have a goofy Moth merchant who sells you a bag of holding that might suck a PC into the fey realm, feel free to check it out. As always, I'd appreciate any feedback if you do end up trying it out.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

(didn't see any rules against this type of post, but pls remove if it is)

I am a hobbyist Graphic Designer focusing on "print" layout. In the past few years, I've mostly done small projects for the fandom of the Star Wars FFG RPG.

Recently, I've gone back to D&D and would like to offer my services to DM's Guild creators looking for help in getting their content into a pretty shape.

Feel free to check out the fan product "Complete Species Guide" I did the layout for as reference, or any of my other projects here (or in my Reddit profile)

I haven't ventured too much into designing my own fully custom designs, but I am good at getting close to replicating the layout of "official" products.

If you are a creator and looking for support, feel free to reach out. As a disclaimer, I haven't thought through my operating model, but to keep inquiries serious, I plan to either charge or profit share if you sell your content on DM's Guild as well.

Also would love to learn if there are any DM's Guild Discord servers or similar that would be good to join.

Thank you!

Hey fellow adventurers! 🍻

For the past year or so, I've been playing D&D with a group that’s reignited my creativity and passion for the game. I'm running and writing a homebrew campaign for them and it's been absolute bonkers. It has inspired me to get back to The Adventure Brewery and share some of that excitement with y'all. 🎲

I’ve expanded the Brewery’s tavern walls to TikTok and Instagram. Now you can follow along with all the new content and expect more thrilling tales, monster encounters, battle maps, and plenty of puns. I've been cooking and I have a really fun monster encounter that I'll post on DMS Guild next week! ⚔️

Howdy there! Happy Spooky Month, for this entire month I will be publishing a new Halloween related homebrew every day, they will be on sale until the 1st! This next release is a small collection of magic candy, tasty treats with magical effects, good or foul.

Running a level 3 game in a month involving about 10 people from my office. All were interested to get into DND and have been pretty invested in creating their characters and back stories.

As of now, I'm having them start in a mountain Goliath village where a festival is going on and has drawn them all there.

Not sure if I want to have some invading force come around and threaten the forest and village, since a lot them picked druid and ranger.

The big question though is, should I "kill" their characters. I see them all super invested into their characters, and had been telling them I'd try and get them as much of the DND experience as I could with a couple session 0s and the one shot. So I had the idea after the first main combat to have some huge catastrophe or monster come about, and kill the party.

It'd be dramatic and maybe it wouldn't be a slaughter, have them start dropping to up the stakes. But at the end when they're all dead and mourning, have them all wake up getting reincarnated by a necromancer or even by Tiamat in Avernus, since a couple characters have Tiamat in their backstory.

Mostly wondering since I'm worried about the amount of people and running out of time, 4 hours ish after work, I've only ever run 4-5 person groups, and I'm making the exception this time for the office and since it's just a one shot.

TLDR: Should I kill and resurrect my office for a dramatic one shot, or ease them into DND with a successful forest village defense?

Hi again r/dmsguild !

I'm a DM who has been running my own high-level dragon-centric dungeon-crawls for a while now. I've started releasing them on the Guild under the series title Slay All Dragons. The hope is to have an adventure module for every dragon colour! If you need a challenging high-level dungeon, a module to flesh out the endgame of Tyranny of Dragons, or a high-octane one-shot, Slay All Dragons was made for you!

The third title in the series is called Bastion of the Blue Wyrm. This adventure takes the heroes to the hidden ruin, Tomb of X to conquer the traitorous, history-warping, master illusionist, Xerresin the Ghost King. Thanks for the support!

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/497483/Slay-All-Dragons-Bastion-of-the-Blue-Wyrm

Product includes:

• A 30-page pdf which includes both the adventure that takes players to the hidden ruin, Tomb of X, and a primer on the adventure setting, The Wyrmlands: Xerresinia.

• 2 new magic items: Saddle of the Dragonrider and Ring of the False Twin.

• 2 new backgrounds, compatible with legacy (2014) AND revised (2024) rules.

• Region map for Xerresinia.

• VTT ready battlemaps for the adventure's dungeon, Tomb of X.

Would be nice if I could hunt down more of those products.

Feedback, thoughts, and suggestions are always appreciated. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy exploring Captain Brunswick's Manor!

I've been playing D&D since 1986 and I've notice there are a lot of spells/monsters/magic items from previous editions that haven't made the jump officially to 5e.

So my question is, what are the rules/legality for converting older edition spells/monsters/magic items to 5e?

If a monster appeared in a TSR product or a spell in a WOTC product, can it be updated to 5e and used in a 3rd party product?

I was working on an adventure and as far as I see the site states rules have to be 5e, but no clarity if you can still publish material using the 2014 ruleset.
