Intermediate Blue Dragons, CR 4-8 (D&D 5E)

Fire Grenades: An Extinguishing Item for 5e

Tools of Terror: New Items Inspired by Curse of Strahd
In my Curse of Strahd campaign I was compelled to introduce new items, magical or otherwise. Sometimes this was to fill a specific story need, other times to reinforce the horror of the setting, and other times just to flex my creative muscles. Now that the campaign is ended, I’m sharing those items here.

This page is dedicated to bonus content for In the Footsteps of Hercules, a system-free sourcebook devoted to a pilgrimage trail that can be used in conjunction with any fantasy role-playing games!

5th Edition D&D 'Necromancy' Spells
While developing 5th Edition D&D material for my Skirmisher Publishing, I found myself wishing I had a list of all the Necromancy spells from the Player's Handbook, and so I went ahead and created one and posted it here for others to use!
Starfinder: Shrieker
Shriekers are the second stage in the complex life cycle of the creatures known as Graboids. When an adult Graboid has consumed enough food, it begins to develop offspring known as Shriekers, which grow inside the adult Graboid until they are mature enough to survive on their own.
