Hey friends,
As we're past the half way point for Broadsword Guide to the Negative Energy Plane and I'm wrapping up the last bits of content (200 spells is a metric shit ton of spells, let me tell you), I'm starting the brainstorming on Ooze which'll be out in July.
I know that I want...

Hey friends,
I'm about to start writing the one-shot adventures for this month in Dungeons/Lairs style. The last poll had entrope winning as the featured monster. But where should it be?

Hey all,
Here is the first chunk of spells appearing in the forthcoming Velkeron's Tome of Forbidden Necromancy. It has some of the original spells a necromancy can take (for convenience sake) as well as a bunch of 2e spells I've converted to 5e.
The spells included:

If you didn't know, there's going to be a big ol' tome of new spells with the next Backerkit campaign. The majority of the spells will be necromancy or at least necromancy adjacent.
However, I'm torn on how to organize them.
Do I do it in alphabetical order by spell...

Hey all!
We're less than a week from the next Pre-order campaign for Broadsword, this time we're going to the Negative Energy Plane.
Same as last time, this book will have adventures, character options, and other fun stuff focused on the Negative Energy Plane.
Hey all,
I'm adding in a book of necromancy spells for the next Backerkit campaign and need some spell ideas.
In the comments below, come up with some of the darkest-sounding spells that you can. You don't have to say what they do (unless you want to). Just come up with a name and I'l...

I'm putting together a new model similar to those Undercity maps I did a while back using the polls from the other day. I plan to make these somewhat brief in description so I can get through them a bit quicker (old school, if you will), and will likely land somewhere around 36...

I just got out of the weeds with a couple of new tactics books I'll be releasing here and for the GMSG backers soon. For the time being, I'll be focusing on some content here. I'm still working on the mega-adventure for Negative Energy Plane, but I was looking to knock out some oth...

Since it’s about 50/50 on campaigns and drop-in adventures on the latest poll, I figured I’d spice things up with some Dungeons & Lairs adventures.
I will start with a “life draining undead,” theme, “ordinary” undead (as in those featured in the main book...
