Play Your Next 5E D&D Game with the Break System from Octopath Traveler
Fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons has seen a boom in success like never before. So many people are playing and talking about 5E D&D and a robust community of homebrew and indie content has flooded the community with enough ways to tell and play so many types of stories with the system. Even when 5E D&D can’t accommodate a certain type of game or story there are a wealth of other systems to choose from.

Terrorize 5E D&D Adventurers with the Hellmouth Hydra
I am a huge fan of hydras and dragons. They are very cool creatures that can be used in so many different ways and on so many different levels. With the release of Tiamat by WizKids I was thinking of how one might use this mini either as something other than the Queen of Evil Dragons or her direct agent. If I made a new (obviously less powerful) stat block it would give people a chance to use this gorgeous mini.
Baron Smellybones Rolls Some Magic Dice into Your Next 5E D&D Game
I’ve been inspired to create some new D&D magic items by the Scented Dice by Baron Smellybones on Kickstarter.

I’m intrigued by the idea of the Baron Smellybones character, which got me thinking about his dice. The Kickstarter is currently offering up five different scents — Arcane Vapors, Fireball Char, Nature’s Embrace, Ancient Armory and Healer’s Balm. Now let’s create some D&D magic items!

Protect Yourself from Dangerous Magic with a New 5E D&D Abjuration Spell
In fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons dispel magic and counterspell are both common defensive spells and wonderful for denying opponents the benefits of spells they cast against you but why waste magic? The new 5E D&D spell I’m creating and presenting here today represents a way for spellcasters to take the magic cast against them, absorb it and hold it for use later. Along with this new spell I will share the process I used to design the spell.
