The Yuan-ti Pit Master! If you were wondering what I could mean by "snake arms," this answer your question? Though sometimes they do have the snake head on the end, like the arm version of a medusa's hair. Those snake bodies basically act like tentacles, and they can turn themselves into a snake! They can also put creatures to sleep with a glance, use mage hand, magically restrain, and use some minor mind manipulation. They're the cautious yet intelligent priests in charge of sacrifices and organizing the slow takeover of governments. Also just...kinda better than your average person? Like above average in every stat, from strength to intelligence to charisma. They've got it all!

The world is Talhith, a memory of what the world once was. Ages ago, the world began to flood, cities fell from the sky, and gods of this old world died. People from all over the world did what they could to survive in this world, the most popular of which was building what is now called a Shard.

Shards are homes built by generations of families trying to remain above the water as it continued to flood the the world. The tips of these Shards are all that can be seen now remaining as another danger for sailors to navigate and an archeological mystery for adventurers to explore. It is unknown what remains, but nearly every expedition has reveled horrors being contained only by the sea.

Urith is the largest continent, its capital city is Towersend. There are many factions and important people that call this continent home and many of them are at odds with each other. The terrain in the north is full of forests and hills. As you get more south you run into the Bog of The Twin Moon’s, a place many deem cursed as it is home to more monsters than men. Going east you can ride through the mostly uninhabited plains that the fallen city of Buelstone lies. Going further east you get to the Giants home mountain, Stormwind Peaks and the floating city Panuu. Going even further you get to the last forest of Urith, until you eventually cross the border into Trorn.

Trorn, commonly referred to as The Horns is the Tiefling homeland, and the lowest elevation found in Talhith. It’s ruler, Zepar Lust, the Ichor Father rules this land with an iron fist. However in recent years they seem to be doing more outreach. Trying to right wrong of the past even though they remain an extremely guarded state. It is defended by the volatile Devil’s Anguish that has lava and poisonous gases that prevent most anyone from crossing over by land.

Ibor was the great home of the now destroyed Purple Dragons Knights. They were soldiers of legend until they eventually sacrificed themselves to defend the world from a great evil. Now it is a shattered wasteland of ravines, and tribes of people fight for what little resources remain.

Gullura is the Elven homeland. It’s captital city, Cynore, has elements of this fae ancestry while also being very coastal. Most buildings are made out of lime and sandstone.

Rotsen is the Dwarfen stronghold. It is the banking and trading hub of the world. In the center of the island is a volcano that powers all of the forges. It is said this volcano was the child of Dwarf and Elf who could not conceive so they combined their magics to create a child made of stone. Soon after the parents argued constantly. The child, feeding of this anger grew to the size of the volcano and nearly destroyed everything before it was put to sleep.

Eagekul is a tropical, forest land home to more of the outsiders of the world. The Istoye forest is the largest fae forest in the world, the Gorge of the Ancients is home to many gearforged.

There is obviously many more place to talk about, and many more yet to be explored. I welcome all questions about this world and the places in it!

Intellect Devourer in D&D 5e: Origins, Strategies, and Emotional Impact

A looking deeper into aberrations in D&D 5e we peer at the Intellect Devourer. A grotesque mockery of a brain, the Intellect Devourer is a sight of horror. Born from the nightmarish depths of the mind flayers' experimentation #dnd5e

In the myriad of realms, few beings instill terror as effectively as the Intellect Devourer in D&D 5e. This aberration stands not just as a physical threat but as the embodiment of identity loss and the forfeiture of one’s sanity.

Black Flag Playtest 1: results

The LAb Rats EscapeD! The theme of the one-shot I ran revolved around an alchemist who “generously” agreed to build a sewer system for the city where he had his workshop. Soon pollution is starting to seep out and strange creatures started attacking. Our newly created Black Flag heroes had to work together to stop the mutated lab rats from eating humans. This involved some diplomatic…

Chronicles of a Shitty Dungeon Master Pt. 1: Removing Player Agency

Got a new post where I describe how shitty of a #dungeonmaster I once was! Going to be part of a series~ Do y'all have a story of when you were cockblocked by a dm? Kills the vibe at the #tabletop.

Being a dungeon master is hard, y’all. You have to craft an interesting narrative (that, at any time, can be derailed by your players’ whims,) balance encounters, and spend hours crafting the best possible map. Of course, using a premade adventure path alleviates this quite a bit. There still needs to be a balance between player agency and interesting challenges that make it an exciting game. Of…

The duergar! As a refresher, duergar are surly and dour dwarves. About 4-5 ft (1.2-1.5 m) tall, they're distrustful but loyal and hardworking. They live quiet lives working thier ass off and the closest thing to joy they have comes from a few special interest hobbies. This kind can turn invisible, shrink to tiny size (under 2 feet/61 cm), and hijack your mind to momentarily control your body. These ones are typically spies. Seriously, mind flayers are always shocked when their kidnapped creations escape. You made them able to shrink and turn invisible of course they were hard to contain
