Guildmasters of Ravnica, Pt. 1
This is just a preview of five, brand-new high CR encounters for D&D 5e. Based on legendary creatures from MtG's Ravnica: City of Guilds.
If you'd like to see all five, as well as support my work and get access to other releases, you can do so over on my Patreon! Be quick though, because this release will only be public until next month.

The Aurora Hammerhead Worm is a mid-sized species of xenofauna native to Sparr's Southern Ocean. Their distinctive rainbow-coloured bioluminescence is generated through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that thrive in their guts.
Hammerhead Worm meat is highly prized in Sparri cuisine, but dangerous to acquire. The worms are strong, fast and perfectly capable of chewing through nets, or puncturing fishing chassis hulls if necessary.

Monster Popularity Contest– Ixalan
If you want to help make decisions on what content I make, get early access to all of my releases, and join my new patron-exclusive discord, you can do so by signing up to support me on Patreon!
Last week my supporters were treated to 5 new monsters, each one from the verdant islands of Magic: the Gathering’s Ixalan setting! Normally my first release of each month is just 3 creatures, but I went a little further this time since I was adhering to some rules about MtG’s color identities.
I’m particularly proud of Beckett Brass, who I think has the most interesting design; but Gishath also turned out really well, given how easy it can be to make a big stompy dinosaur into something boring in D&D. No problems with that here though.

The above image is an excerpt of pages 172-173 from Kate Bornstein’s book Hello Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks, and Other Outlaws. New York: Seven Stories, 2006.
I’d describe it as a survival handbook particularly meant for queer teens and other people who don’t fit in and so are fighting for their lives in a hostile, bigoted society. Some of the book’s suggestions for things to do that are better than destroying yourself seem strange or scary. Throughout, though, the book’s one rule is “Don’t be mean.” That’s important context, because that shows this excerpt about being a frightening monster is NOT saying to be cruel or harm others.
I recommend the book to anyone who thinks that sounds useful. Here is the book’s WorldCat listing, which you can use to see if a copy is available at a library near you. Or you can buy it as a print book or eBook directly from the publisher’s site. Or from whatever bookstore you like; bonus points if you can support a small local bookstore that’s worker-owned, feminist, or queer, since those are good community spaces to keep around. I’m not affiliated.
Transcript of the excerpt:
The heading says
“52. BECOME A MORE FRIGHTENING MONSTER THAN THE ONE THEY THINK YOU ARE.”
The icons under the heading indicate that this 52nd alternative to suicide has:
a low-medium difficulty level (as tricky as riding a cow)
a medium safety rating (three hearts, two skulls)
a medium-high effectiveness rating (three umbrellas)
a morality rating of G for General (meaning it’s something you could do in front of your grandma)
“Keywords: mischief, delight, magic”
For decoration, there’s an antique illustration of a costumed dancer wearing a horse tail and mane.
The body text says:
“If people knew the real you, would they run screaming from the room? Well, whatever kind of monster they think you are, it’s probably safe to say, you’re really much more terrifying. Sometimes we like to look freaky. Sometimes we like to blend in. It’s our choice. But shifting from one to another keeps people from figuring out who or what we are.
“The cultural monster here at the turn of the century is the shape-shifter. Being an outsider isn’t what makes us monstrous. We are monsters because we’re so good at either revealing our monstrosity, or keeping it hidden when we want to.
“It’s when we become something the über-culture can’t quite put its finger on that we know we’re being a worse monster than the one they think we are. In this culture, that’s a crime. You have to match your photo ID. So, go ahead. Be a chameleon. Enjoy yourself. Play safe, and try not to scare the little children.
“EXTRA CREDIT: Write an essay, poem, recipe, film or performance piece on this question: if a culture’s monsters reflect its greatest fears, what does it say about über-American culture that its monsters are for the most part shape-shifters and mutants?”
