The most recent D&D adventure book Candlekeep Mysteries released on March 16th, 2021. Much like the previous Rime of the Frostmaiden book, I knew I wanted to design a Candlekeep Mysteries Map pack for DMs in need. The big difference from the last release is that instead of focusing on one chapter to reference (Ythryn), …
Of all the races in the Player’s Handbook, I think I was most dissatisfied with the Dragonborn. While playing as humanoid dragons is pretty cool, it didn’t take long to realize that they felt lacking compared to the other races. Their signature breath weapon feels less like an essential ability and more like a …
Full disclosure: I was paid to write a Scroll-io review for both the website and Kickstarter. All views and opinions are my own. It’s game night: The party just mopped the floor with a gang of orcs like it was nothing, and that was meant to be the tough warmup to the boss fight. …

I want to try something a little different with today’s free dungeon encounter. Normally, I write up a little narrative to explain the “why’s” and “how’s” of some maps, like with Bertie Bigglesby or Spellzog’s. Instead, this buried archive space is designed so that it can be inserted into an existing D&D dungeon without much …

Sometimes simply rolling a d20 feels a little lackluster. Having your rogue effortlessly unlock a stuck door, a barbarian crashing through a barricade, or the wizard recalling ancient arcana can get a little rote. But what if your personal talents could translate to these skill checks? Would you feel up to the challenge that …
It’s been a little while since I released anything on DM’s Guild, but with the recent publication of Icewind Dale – Rime of the Frostmaiden, I felt it was time to put out some new content! For those who haven’t read this new campaign, it takes players to Icewind Dale: the frozen northern tundra …
It’s the first Side Quest of the new year! What better way to spend it than by taking a rat-clearing job from an elderly gnome? It’s a tried and true trope of many games to have entry-level adventurers fight vermin in someone’s basement, and I wanted to add my own spin. Plus, this map …

Do you keep a dream journal? I tend to keep my note app ready for the random chance I’m struck by inspiration past midnight. Recently I woke up one night, wrote three words in my app, and promptly fell back asleep. The next morning I opened my app and found “Spellzog’s danger emporium”. I …

I’m burying the lede here: I like the new Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything book. It may not be my absolute favorite D&D entry, but there’s plenty of useful info within. Want a way to customize races? Tasha’s got it covered. 30 new subclasses, including the Artificer? It’s in there! New monsters? Ok, maybe not that, …
