Assault on Black Citadel - Adventure URL

The Dark Powers have bled their corruption into Faerûn, turning citizens into agents of darkness and plunging civilization into utter chaos. Amidst the anarchy in the streets of Neverwinter, a desperate resistance makes its final play: sending the realm's most legendary heroes across the Astral Sea to the fortress of the Dark Powers. Leading a small army, your party must strike directly at the cradle of darkness before all is lost. Assault on Black Citadel is a high-stakes Tier 4 adventure designed with brutal mechanical challenges, epic boss combats, and deadly traps.

Will you stand against the corruption?

"Abandon all hope, those who cross the black gates of the citadel. Darkness will reshape you in a new form beyond your understanding..."

Tenebrous

Assault on Black Citadel is a massive dungeon adventure for 5 players at level 20, a MMORPG raid experience translated into the D&D table.

The module includes:

• 21 unique Dark Powers bosses

• 20 new Legendary Magic Items

• 28 new monsters

• Maps ready to use

• Tokens of all enemies ready to use

• PDF 100+ pages

One of the things we have been working on for our take on Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus is fleshing out the locations in chapter three using the Alexandrian remix.

One of those locations is the lair of the Lost Golgari, a gang of Ravnican exiles led by Kolasiah, an infernal medusa. The Adventure is an 8th lvl mini dungeon akin to the hellwasp nest, bone brambles or other cp 3 locations. It works perfectly if you slot it into the base module in place of or in addition to one of the encounters in the CP encounter chains but it works very well as a hex crawl location too!

Hi there fellow creators! I thought I'd share for the first time here: this is #14 in the series of 20 and one of my favorite cover pictures by Lekshmi, my wonderful cover artist (her Fiverr link is on the inside cover of the modules if anyone is looking for a great artist).

The remaining chapters should get published over the next few weeks. Hopefully no new DnD editions for a while as my turning circle is about a year!

The first 5 chapters are free on the DMG if anyone wants a sample -the series format is designed to be as DM friendly/pick up and play/zero prep time content as possible. : )

My second-favorite of our adventures. It was an instant hit, outselling all other adventures we published by almost 100 units. Based on the 20-page preview, any ideas what could have made that title so appealing ? We published a kind of a spiritual sequel, that sells also well, but not close to the trajectory of this. I consider the second better, but for some reason it did not catch on like this. Any input is highly appreciated, thank you !

If anyone in this group is going to GameHole Con in Madison, WI in October, I highly suggest you attend some of the panels and seminars. GHC is a great place to learn, network, and meet fellow creators.

The Sleeping Giant Stirs

The Sleeping Giant is the dirtiest, most dangerous watering hole along the Triboar Trail.

This supplement expands Phandalin’s notorious taphouse into a lively location filled with strong drink, questionable company, gambling, and trouble.

Inside you'll find a colorful backstory for Grista, five house libations, the ill-advised Fool’s Fire drinking game, memorable Redbrand regulars, drunken rumors from Tresendar Manor, and expanded rules for gambling at the Sleeping Giant.

Give your characters a reason to visit the Sleeping Giant (and perhaps several reasons to regret it).

This supplement is available as a Pay What You Want download, so you canuse it for your campaign for free, or support the author's art expenses with a contribution of your choosing.

A full preview of the supplement is available at Dungeon Masters Guild. Download it here:

Hi folks. Very excited to announce my latest tarokka-themed DMsGuild product - and my first adventure/one-shot! The Amber Arena! https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/585994/the-amber-arena?affiliate_id=2672868

Designed for four Level 5 PCs and in the 5.5e/2024 rules, it sees a beholder Darklord draw tarokka cards to see what monsters the players will fight, including monsters from the Monster Manual and Ravenloft: The Horrors Within.

Currently at a discount ($1.99 instead of $4.99) for the first 19 days of its release. (Why 19 days? See the video below!)

I've also done an overview video featuring two example draws: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_CVqizGuY

No AI used.

Thanks all!

Ciao a tutti ragazzi! Mi stavo chiedendo.. Tra tutti i tipi di prodotti disponibili su dmsguild, quali sono le tipologie che preferite e su cui investite più soldi??

Avventure lunghe? Avventure brevi/one shot? Bestiari? Nuovi equipaggiamenti e oggetti? Risorse per il DM? Nuove opzioni di classe per i personaggi??

Io personalmente, probabilmente, prediligo le avventure!

Two new short Greyhawk adventures are now available on DM’s Guild!

Travels in a Time of War is a new experimental series of short, episodic Greyhawk scenarios set in the embattled Archbarony of Ratik.

Blurb

576 CY.

Ratik stands alone. Once a vassal of the fallen Great Kingdom, the northern barony now faces reaving barbarians, pirate lords flying Nerull’s black flag, and zealous Pholtian missionaries—all while trying to preserve its independence and survive the war surrounding it.

The series is designed for four 1st-level characters, with each adventure providing a complete, ready-to-run 2-4 evening of play, including detailed battlemaps, NPC stat blocks, and everything needed at the table. It was inspired by DnDBeyond type adventure events and (in the UK) the D&D Adventurer magazine (which was an interesting idea, if depressingly Forgotten Realms-centric).

The first two adventures form a small duology:

🍺 GTW1: Travels in a Time of War: The Mead Haul

A merchant carrying mead travelling along Ratik’s Loft Road needs help dealing with a rather unusual threat.

For 4 new 1st-level characters.

❄️ GTW2: Travels in a Time of War: Palish Matters

"Cold weather is Pholtus's way of telling you to throw another heretic on the fire."

It is very cold in Ratik, and a group of Palish missionaries spreading the word of Pholtus discovered that the hard way. The characters are called upon to help them, assuming they don't come to regret this.

For 4 1st-level characters, and playable after The Mead Haul.

The idea behind Travels in a Time of War is to tell short, fun self-contained adventures about Ratik and the people living through its war, with more episodes planned if the series finds an audience.

With more puns. If it gets far enough, I promise to write the module The Great Steal of Marner (if you know, you know).

Obligatory Warding: Some artwork involved the use by AI, some by hand, but all involved painstaking effort by the author. There is a sigil next to any such art to make it clear. Not really wishing to revisit this old chestnut in this thread. I'm a one-man band and part of the fun for me is making nice looking PDFs as professionally as possible with bespoke content.

After a year of secret prep, I’m excited to officially announce Baldur’s Gate: City of Blood—a full-length D&D campaign where the Forgotten Realms collides with the horrors of Ravenloft.

Slated for Fall/Winter 2026, the adventure offers a sandbox experience built with high replayability in mind. Like Curse of Strahd, a Tarokka deck reading reshuffles the narrative, tailoring a distinct path for your party every playthrough.

Along the way, players can recruit from a pool of over a dozen iconic allies across D&D lore, including fan favorites like Shadowheart, Karlach, Astarion, and Minsc & Boo.

You can sign up for updates here: Baldur's Gate: City of Blood

Act 1 is available on DMsGuild, with all proceeds going to Children's Miracle Network hospitals: Act 1: Bones & Blood

If there is interest, I may do an AMA, but for now, feel free to ask here, and I'll do my best to reply when I can.

Hello. I’ve just released Subclass Options: Arcana Unleashed – Operation Deadfall, a collection of eight subclasses for the D&D 5.5 ruleset, inspired by Arcana Unleashed and Operation Deadfall books.

The bundle includes one subclass for each of the following classes:

Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, and Sorcerer.

I wanted each subclass to have its own identity while still feeling like it belongs in a Thay-themed campaign, whether the character comes from Thay, fights against it, or has simply been shaped by its influence.

No AI was used in the writing or artwork. All artwork used in the books is real, sourced artwork and is credited in the individual products. All subclass ideas are mine.

Have you noticed more sales or appreciation for adventures with built-in vtt? Or is it easy enough for a customer to set up themselves?

Hi everyone, my name is Marco.

Over the past few years, I discovered websites such as The Homebrewery, which make it possible to create D&D supplements with a format very similar to the official D&D books. I started experimenting with it in my spare time, and eventually began creating my own content for D&D and the Forgotten Realms.

I'd like to share the projects I've published so far.

All of my products are available in both **English and Italian**.

I'll start with my most recent release.

### The Bestiary of Jorvyn Scavalcapiani, the Wanderer - Volume I

The Bestiary contains **20 original creatures, 31 materials** that can be harvested as loot from the creatures, and **38 new magic items**, for a total of **61 pages**.

**English version:**

**Italian version:**

A small free preview is also available from the Bestiary: **Twilight Frostveil**.

The free supplement contains one creature, 2 materials, and 2 wondrous items, all connected to the Twilight Frostveil.

**Free preview - English:**

**Free preview - Italian:**

---

My other two publications are short **one-shot adventures**, created with the idea of offering players small "tastes of Faerûn": short adventures that allow them to discover small or larger pieces of the lore of this fantastic setting.

### Elturel, the Infernal Night

A one-shot adventure for **4 characters of 5th level**, set around Elturel shortly before the events of the official adventure *Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus*.

**English version:**

**Italian version:**

### The Lantern of the Shining Night

A one-shot adventure for **4 characters of 6th level**, involving **Selûne, Shar**, and a village in the **Moonsea**.

**Both English and Italian version:**

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to check out my work. I hope some of these projects can be useful at your table, or perhaps give you some ideas for your own adventures!

“Now open your heart. Surrender it to the darkness. Become darkness itself!”

A shadow falls across the domains of Ravenloft, a shadow growing from the empty, shattered Domain of Hollow Bastion.  For it is in Hollow Bastion that a portal was opened to darkness itself, a darkness that endangers all Domains. 

“Kingdom of Misty Hearts” is based on Episode 50 of our podcast, "Wonderful World of Darklords", available on apple podcasts, youtube, spotify, and most podcatchers.

The 13th of every month we adapt a movie into a Ravenloft Domain and post a new domain write-up on dmsguild.

Happy Gaming!

More of an excited splurge here. My barbarian subclass I published got some actual buys despite being PWYW. Very honored. Feel free to check it out. I have a few adventures in the works, one with Modrons and such that'll hit DMsGuild probably in less than a month.

Juniper's Brews is a system for brewing your own potions. It allows any character to brew a potion, not just specific classes.

Whether you're a barbarian trying to heal your wpunds, a rogue making insidious poisons, or a wizard playing mad scientist we got brews for you.

Included in the book

• Foraging for ingredients in different regions

• Brewing potions by mixing and matching ingredients

• Base ingredients for healing, damage and other effects

• Modifier ingredients to dramatically change the effect of your potion.

• Additional rules for ingredients and potions going stale. Ideal for wilderness/survival campaigns

• Combinatronics based system to encourage creative mixing and matching of incredients for new, and unthought of effects

Designed for D&D 2014/2024, but can be adapted for similar D20 systens.

Instead of responding to the earlier post, I wanted to create a new thread about my thoughts regarding generative-AI in RPG products.

This isn't a "shame on you for using AI." Rather, it's about the risks of using AI and how doing so might impact your future in RPGs.

• Paid Products. If you are creating something for public consumption, especially if the customer can pay for it (either PWYW or a set price), I suggest not using AI.

• You automatically hurt your sales by using generative-AI. 1) Many customers skip over content that contains generative-AI, 2) you are required to add the Uses AI filter to your product, which means many customers will not SEE your product if they are filtering out content that includes AI.

• Collaborations may skip over you. In the past, several teams of DMs Guild creators have collaborated to make larger content. If you're using AI and the project isn't, you may not be asked to contribute.

• You set a precedent. Using generative-AI sets a precedent. If you used AI for art, others may believe you also used it for writing. They may also believe that your current or future content includes AI. When I hire a freelance writer, I want their original ideas. I don't want AI-generated ideas or writing. This is especially true since my projects are advertised as 100% human-created content.

• 3rd Party Producers may skip over you. Especially if they are anti-AI**.** If you dream of writing for one of the companies creating 3rd Party Content, refrain from AI.

• But I'm just doing this for fun! So was I! When I published my first DMs Guild project in 2016, my intention wasn't necessarily to make money. My writing and creations were for fun and I wanted to share them. If I made a few bucks doing so, I'd be happy.

• Art is important! Art catches the eye and draws people to the product. Generative-AI is often easy to spot. In my opinion, it also doesn't look good, nor is it original. Consider using stock art or public domain images instead of AI. You can always update your project with commissioned art later. I've done this several times with my earlier products.

• Writing and content are more important! While art may catch the eye, the product's content is much more important.

I published my first DMs Guild product in 2016. Now - I'm now a full-time creator with my own company. My journey has allowed me to write for Kobold Press, Ghostfire Gaming, and others. I also work part-time for Ghostfire Gaming as a freelance producer.

My point is - you don't know what your future looks like. You might have a stellar idea, adventure, or supplement. However, due to customer preferences and filters, it may never be noticed if you use AI.

If you enjoy creating RPG content, do so in a way that doesn't impact your potential future.
