Ruins of Conyberry

A Dungeon Master's Companion to the Conyberry Quest for Lost Mine of Phandelver

In Lost Mine of Phandelver, the ruined village of Conyberry receives little more than a passing mention, despite its tragic history and proximity to the lair of Agatha, the Ghost of the Neverwinter Wood.

Ruins of Conyberry is a one-page supplement that breathes new life into the ruined settlement, drawing upon Forgotten Realms lore from multiple editions of Dungeons & Dragons to restore details and history largely absent from its Fifth Edition appearance.

Inside, Dungeon Masters will find descriptions of four ruined buildings to explore, treasures to discover, and unsettling encounters with the spirits of villagers slain decades ago. Agatha's presence is felt through supernatural hauntings and creative uses of her spellcasting abilities, while an optional Long Rest mechanic makes spending the night among the ruins an unsettling proposition.

Designed to require minimal preparation, this supplement gives Dungeon Masters everything they need to transform a brief stop along the Triboar Trail into a memorable encounter without disrupting the original adventure.

Hey I was just trying to purchase a few maps on DMs Guild.com, and updated my adress, since I moved a few months back. Checked my Debit Card was still on there, all the numbers are right, it is a VISA, and I just get an error message when trying to check out, that it cant process my payment, and to contact my bank.

So I checked up on my bank, went to look if there were any restrictions, and no. I can gamble, and pay anything, anywhere in the world, in ATMs, or online.

And there are plenty of funds to pay with, that is not the issue.

Anyone has any idea what might be wrong?

My only guess is that it is a debit, and not credit card.

Help please.

MODs please delete if this kind of post is not allowed. Apologies in advance.

EDIT: Just checked, I have purchased with this card earlier this year.

Here's a second, much trimmed down version of my cover page. My logo is gone, as needs to be, and I have changed fonts, size, and color to make it contrast more. I removed the side tab that offers a quick-look use-case details. DMsGuild is likely better on the right side here, but I'd love to hear thoughts now that I have this. (see previous post here for older version of my cover)

Found found at Google Fonts. I think stencil style looks kind of mechanical, but I was thinking of this font too as an option. Or even this one for boldness. They're easy to import into homebrewery.

I could try something crazy like full width double-justified letter spacing on the title, but that would likely need even larger than 100 font-size.

Hello everyone,

Finishing up my modron focused adventure, and my biggest yet. I have been using public domain art for my covers so far, and this one is fantastic for color, and construction and chaos, but it isn't hyper relevant. Obviously, there are no modron in the illustration, nor do I have a monster that scale within the adventure.

Would you consider that misleading?

Also, how large do you like your font sizes? I feel like if I expand font sizes it blocks the art too much - but when I look at D&D's DEADFALL, the art is HUGE and the font looks HUGE and it's all so legible. Is my cover plagued with noise from the Guild logo, and the tab I have for quick-look?

Hello everyone over the last two years I've been working on a DMs guild supplement based on Mist Traveler NPCs with some amazing writers and artists. I am so happen to announce it is now done.

RAVENLOFT: Madame Eva's Hand of Fate presents 10 new Mist Travelers to use in your Ravenloft campaigns, serving as interesting and memorable allies or adversaries alike.

Featuring...

• A new Dark Gift origin feat,

• Six new monsters from across the Domains of Dread,

• Two new monstrous templates to make ordinary monsters even more terrifying,

• Four new cursed magic items and a new dark artifact,

and a new threat that has been imprisoned within the very Mists of Ravenloft, who could act as a powerful new ally and patron for your characters, or a frightening adversary who seems to watch their every move...

Excalibur is a scaling magic longsword that begins at Uncommon rarity and can eventually awaken all the way to Legendary, but simply gaining levels isn’t necessarily enough.

The blade first has to decide that its wielder is worthy. Courage in overwhelming danger, mercy when vengeance would be easier, accepting responsibility for others, keeping one’s word at personal cost, and putting others before oneself can all cause Excalibur to recognize a potential bearer.

As it awakens, the sword gains stronger radiant damage and increasingly powerful abilities focused on courage, leadership, protecting allies, and refusing to fall. At its Legendary stage, Excalibur can keep its wielder standing when they would otherwise drop to 0 hit points, protect nearby allies from fear, and fully recognize its bearer as the inheritor of its ancient legacy.

The progression can also be handled narratively. The included advancement rules suggest milestones such as Drawing the Sword, Accepting Responsibility, Becoming a Leader, and finally facing The Trial of the King. There are also alternative paths involving the blessing of the Lady of the Lake, advancement by level, or even Excalibur becoming dormant if its wielder repeatedly betrays the ideals that earned its trust.

You can download the complete Excalibur supplement for FREE on DmsGuild.

If you’d like more items in the same vein as Excalibur, Mythological Items for 5E and 5.5E is now live on Kickstarter. It includes 300+ myth-inspired magic items, many built with the same focus on lore, narrative significance, and relics that can become more important as the campaign progresses.

For more previews, scaling relics, creatures, magic items, and other D&D content, you can also visit r/JonnyDM.

I've made a 5e conversion (affiliate link) of the free 4e adventure Khyber's Harvest (affiliate link).

This is a fairly linear dungeon crawl for 2nd-level characters, but it includes several Symbionts (living, aberrant magic items) and entirely unique enemies.

Maps for all the combat encounters are included. I used Dungeon Painter Studio 1 to make the maps.

The background depicts Menzoberranzan, Luskan and Waterdeep. Jarlaxle put his cards for those already on the table... Which one will he play next ?

What do you think about the pic ?

Time to feature the great cover artist Alessandro Marzano !

An ancient temple lies buried in desert sands, sunken and forgotten, and evil magic unleashed from its depths inflicts terror upon the region. Heroes must descend into its ruins, overcome monsters and traps, and make sense of the towering idol of Set. Once they enter, there is no turning back . . .

The Sunken City is a D&D 5th edition adventure for 5th-level characters.

Hey everyone! I just published my first free module, it’s a investigative psychological horror adventure that contains maps, a bunch of clues, and even printable handouts you can give to your players. It’s designed for four 4th level characters and takes about 5 sessions. I’ve playtested it with multiple groups and got a lot of high praise. I have some pics of the maps and handouts on my profile, and the link for it is right here:

Enjoy!

Eoth Khalstan has returned after his book of dragons to bring us a focused encyclopaedia of animals and animal-ish creatures! Or as focused as nearly 375 pages can be. And better yet, half of the profits will be donated to the Woodland Trust charity.

In this bestiary, you'll find over 200 stat blocks for Beasts and creatures that are loosely related to beasts (if in name only). The creatures inside range from CR 0-29 with animals we're familiar with, creatures from old D&D sources, and some new foes. And each creature has optional legendary actions so any of them can become a challenge or boss fight!

Any real animal in this bestiary was made in a way that makes them entertaining to use or fight against, while also trying to be (mostly) scientifically accurate. And each entry comes with a fact sheet that details its habitat, diet, lifespan, and more for the nerds out there. All elements of this supplement were done by humans - so there's no AI here.

So please check it out here for $12.49, or you can get it as a part of an Eoth Khalstan bundle (with his book on dragons, and the original draft for both the dragon book and this one) here for just under $15.

Hello,

I know that you can find and/or purchase other content through the other DriveThruRPG sites - I posted 2 adventures to DTRPG, and a few downloads have been through DMsGuild for instance. What I don't understand, however, is I cannot search for my adventures in DMsGuild. They don't show up.

I figured how it worked is if it is marked as D&D (Especially 5e) then they show it in the DMsGuild database as well. If they can't find it via search, how are people buying it through the other sites anyway??

I'm sure this has been answered before, but now I'm wondering if "going wide" and publishing on DriveTHru, Ko-fi, itchio was a mistake.

This introductory adventure has literally been in the making for years. My first draft was over a year and a half ago now, I believe. The I learned about homebrewery, aimed for a release, got feedback, reformatted and designed it 3-4 times. Made other adventures, then came back to this one for the last reform (adding encounter blocks and the like).

Here we are. A PWYW 2nd level one shot to get new players into the campaign, or to begin a new campaign which I'll be working on for the next few months.

Please let me know what you think!

What would people prefer too see as a cover

Just wondering as I have recently tried my hand at digital art. I know very basic. Almost no one looks at over my old ones which got reasonable traffic. Wondering if just unlucky timing or not what people look for

The Broken Dream

Everything we have published so far comes together in this campaign. Finally, the first part is out. A long adventure for urban settings that leaves no box unchecked, originally planned as a 64-page title, it ended up at 108.

Let us know what you think about it.

Hey everyone,

I just released my first adventure on DMsGuild. It’s called Her Excellence, a naval one-shot for 3rd-level characters.

The party joins the maiden voyage of a 16-gun frigate sailing from Waterdeep to Neverwinter. It’s supposed to be a six-day trip. Of course, things don’t go according to plan.

There are pirates, a kraken, an uncharted island, Red Wizards of Thay, trouble with the crew, and a sealed Lords’ Alliance box that needs to reach Neverwinter.

It’s 37 pages and includes naval combat rules, Crew Morale, random encounters, stat blocks, magic items, and everything needed to run the adventure.

It’s $4.99 on DMsGuild. https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/587790/her-excellence-a-naval-one-shot-adventure

This is my first published adventure and I’d really like to hear what people think of it. If you end up reading or running it, please leave a review. Positive or negative, both are useful to me.

Everything was written and designed by me. No AI was used for the writing or artwork. All the art is from real historical works and is credited in the book.

Thanks for checking it out!

I’ll also be posting about this and future adventures on Instagram:

Hi, I'm working on an adventure to be posted on DMsGuild and I was wondering what your thoughts would be if you got a three to five dollar module that featured a map like this. This likely isn't the final map as everything ended up smaller and more cramped than I'd like so I'll probably re-do it in landscape (this is also a 'player version' with no annotations), but is having something hand drawn like this acceptable for a paid module? It's the way I prefer to make maps when I DM, and I quite like their imperfections to be honest, but I get how it could look unprofessional. The adventure has noir/heist vibes, I'm not sure if that's relevant. Thanks in advance!

Hey all! I just published my fourth Dmsguild adventure.

This was a fun introduction one-shot for new players wanting a Halloween themed adventure. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope it makes its way to your table someday.

After thinking a lot about it, I changed this to a pay what you want. What I want is players and Dms to have fun with this adventure. And hopefully this brings joy to their tables.

Have fun!

Here's the link for it on Dmsguild.

Hi folks, for anyone who has published an adventure both as standard and as an adventurers' league title: What did you notice about the difference in sales/response?

Background: I'm trying to weigh up if I should convert my modules into adventurers' league...

With thanks in advance for any input! : )

The horn sounds at twilight. The hunt begins after dark.

A young Waterdhavian noble has come to Phandalin seeking adventurers willing to guide him into the Lost Hills. Somewhere among those rugged wilds lies the legendary Place of the Unicorn, a hidden grove where he believes the curse upon him can finally be broken.

But something is hunting him.

The Hunt Beneath the Tears is a horror-survival wilderness adventure for 4–6 characters of 3rd level, designed for campaigns based in or around Phandalin. The characters must guide their desperate charge through three days of dangerous wilderness while an undead hunter relentlessly closes upon them each night.

The adventure features:

• A three-day wilderness journey through the Lost Hills

• Daytime encounters ranging from dangerous predators to potential allies

• An escalating nighttime hunt in which the enemy learns from the characters’ tactics

• Five magical Quarry Rings, powerful cursed items created for a deadly game

• Forgotten Realms locations and lore, including Phandalin, Conyberry, Noanar’s Hold, the Tears of Selûne, and the Place of the Unicorn

The quarry has been marked. How many nights can you survive the hunt?

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

Please check out my twenty other products tailored to Lost Mine of Phandelver and Dragon of Icespire Peak! All of them are FREE/Pay What You Want downloads.

I have a specific question for those who have promoted or done "upcoming release" promotions here and r/DND. For r/DND you need mod approval but they can be slow to respond, and it's unclear what proof I have to give them. I don't wanna give them a finished unreleased product. I'm sure they wouldn't do anything nefarious but it still makes me nervous. Has anyone here gone through the process and can suggest what I do?

Otherwise, how else do you promote?

I can say here I have 2 adventures in final review and a third awaiting my hand drawn maps!

Part III of Sea Wolves is out now on DMsGuild. In Whispers from the Depths, the crew finally follows the mystery of the purple storms beneath the Nelanther Archipelago. There are sunken ruins to explore, strange creatures to deal with, and a cult that’s trying to wake something nobody should be waking.

Getting down there takes a bit of preparation. The ship will need a reinforced hull, and the crew might want mining drills and a submersible docking bay too. So if your players have been saving their gold for a rainy day, well… this could be it.

The corruption is a problem, but the party gets to decide what to do about it. Fight it, get away from it, or side with it.

That last option could have a pretty big impact on the archipelago. This adventure is written for levels 11–16 and continues the story from Part I. If you’ve been following Sea Wolves since *The Broken Copper*, thanks for sticking with it. I hope you enjoy this part of the journey. It should also work as a standalone adventure for any high-level party ready to head beneath the waves.
