Currently, there are eight archetypes: Assassin, Bandit, Cultist, Inquisitor, Mercenary, Outlander, Sorcerer, and Warrior.

Below, I've created a list...

Call for Suggestions - Next big book?

Hey everyone!

Since the big OGL shakeup I’ve been going back and forth on what our spring project should be. I hoped to do something outside of 5e, but I recognize a lot of y’all feel comfortable there or at least with a system that’s similar. Plus I’ve seen some Kickstarters from c...

Horror 1931 is coming! Give me some requests!

Hey all,

The poll for the next Kickstarted ended up with 1931 as the chosen period. 1931 was a pretty cool time for horror. Universal Monsters just kicked off that year with Phantom of the Opera, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, and Frankenstein (followed closely by The Mummy and whole bun...

Poll #296 - Horror Kickstarter... Pick the Starting Sub-Genre

Hey folks!

While we continue to navigate the madness that is the OGL (OGLgate?), we're looking towards the future with our next Kickstarter. Fortunately, I planned on doing something outside of 5e even before this mess, so it doesn't really trip anything up.

The plan for the next Kick...

Here are the other polls if you've missed 'em:

Poll #294 - February Dungeons/Lairs themes

Happy hump day, folks!

It's the middle of January, so it's time to start thinking about what kinda content we're going to make in February.

Poll #293 - Heritages of Our Sword & Sorcery World (Probably Helkara)

Yep! More polls! Because we're world-building, y'all!

Next up, it's time to figure out our world's heritages. Since it's Sword & Sorcery, it'll be predominantly human. But I'm hardly one for not offering up some unique heritages, especially in a fantasy world.

Likely, there will b...

Poll #292 - Name our Sword & Sorcery World

Oh boy, it's poll time! (I love polls.)

Now that we're going to be creating adventures set in our new dark fantasy/sword and sorcery world (don't worry, Dungeons & Lairs will still be setting agnostic), I need a name for the world.

After all, Dark Sun has Athas, Mörkborg has The ...

Poll #291 Pick a theme for Endless Journeys Into Sword and Sorcery #1

Hey all!

I'll be working on Endless Journeys stuff soon (since it's pretty much a given that Wizards will be changing the OGL). The latest rendition of Endless Journeys will be pretty similar mechanically to Fifth Edition, so if you understand 5e, you'll understand Endless Journeys. You wil...

Poll - Plans and Transitions

Hey everyone,

I'm putting up an anonymous poll here to get some feedback from you all in the face of the coming changes to the open gaming license. While I don't plan on continuing with 5e for eternity, it's not easy to just "get off the system." 

Why we will continue to make 5e...

We Will Continue with 5E (aka "Ermergerd Dave Make Up Yer Mind")

Hey all,

I just got off the phone with my attorney, Noah Downs, one of the heads of the #opendnd movement. He doesn't believe the MorkBorg strategy is good long-term. I guess I'll have to send back all these doom-metal albums I ordered.

Plus, I met with many of the creators in the sam...

Foundry Issues

Hey all!

We're working on getting some of these Foundry issues that keep popping up resolved. We were using a third-party importer for a while, but the creator of the importer stopped keeping it updated. So now anything made before Dungeons/Lairs 48 or so doesn't work like it's supposed to....

Hey all,
