Bullywug Playable Race for 5E D&D

customized raceNerdarchsit Ted here and today we get to hop into a new customized race in tribute to the game run at Philly Games con by Nerdarchist Ryan.  His game went over so well that people wanted to know how to use a Bullywug as a playable race in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

Bullywug – customized race in Dungeons and Dragons

Bullywugs have a rich culture presented in the Monster Manual.  They will grovel and debase themselves in the presence of their superiors and will use cunning and murder to try and climb up the political ladder of their community.

Forging Runes — 5E D&D Magic Item

customized magic itemsNerdarchist Ted here and thanks for checking this article out.  I am  going to go a little more in depth on the customized magic item that I presented to Daves character Uthen-Gar in my Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition game.

Customized magic items in 5th edition

Magic items are a large part of Dungeons and Dragons and it is important to have items that not only add a benefit to characters but have ones in your game that enrich the players, but your world as well.

When I created ‘Rune,’ a tiny elemental it was to have a role playing tool in the party that I controlled but to give Dave’s character a mechanical benefit.  He is playing a dwarven fighter wizard and thus will need coin for armor as well as magical research.  By giving him an item that reduces his cost I have lessened that burden of his character choice.

Forging Bastion — 5E D&D Magic Item

customized magic itemNerdarchist Ted here and I am hear to expand on our video series Mage Forge making customized magic items for 5th edition.  Today we delve more into the magic item we created for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition; Bastion the Pact of the Ogre Magi.

Alex Maxwell gave us the inspiration for reskinning a magic item and making it something unique and interesting.  I feel that making new customized magic items makes the party more excited because it is not something out of the book and it enriches the world because someone had to have made it.

How to Speeks Goblin | Tabletop Terrors in Honor of International Tabletop Day

International TableTop Day

Time to check in on Gil Beatin & Killicia Slay just in time for International Tabletop Terrors Day. Oh my is that Durgen from A Fistful of Dice and The Provokers on the table? I don’t know if I want to see what happens to this poor dwarf at these goblin hands. I’m sure they are going to take their time with this grisly game especially with it being International Tabletop Terrors Day.

Rise of the Mongrelfolk in Chimes of Discordia for 5E D&D

 

 

Dungeons and DragonsHello loyal Nerdarchist and readers.  Nerdarchist Ted here and today I want to do something a little bit different.  Last week I brought you an article talking about how to use the Mongrelfolk in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.  So today I want to talk about how they came to be in our home brew: Chimes of Discordia.

Far to the south of our lovely town of Griphongaff lies a swamp.  A place teeming with life of all sort.  Though everything living there needs to be hearty as it is a rough place to live.  Many dangerous creatures call this place home.

5E D&D Fighter Archetype — Weapon Master

Weapon Master

Nerdarchist Ted here and today I am breaking the mold. Normally I do a board game review on Mondays and instead today I am going to give you a Customized Archetype for your fighter for Dungeons and Dragons 5th ed.

New Archetype for fighter in Dungeons and Dragons

The fighter presented in thePlayers Handbook is an all around fighter, able to pick up any weapon and excel almost equally with it.   The Weapon Master is the opposite.  They have toiled long hours in hard disciplined practice to truly master a weapon of choice.

As this is an archetype the rest of the fighters skills apply to anything the fighter chooses to wield but the remainder of the benefits only work when they are wielding the weapon of choice.

Mogrelfolk Playable Race for 5E D&D

Customized racesHey Nerdarchists out there, Nerdarchist Ted here and it is time for yet another installment of customized races for D&D 5th edition.   Today I wanted to bring you the Mongrelfolk.  Nerdarchy received a request for us to talk about this and I never would have guessed how pumped it would make me want to play one.

In D and D mongrelfolk are a race of creatures you would never take for a race.  Through generations of cross breeding you have outcasts that look nothing like anything else, even each other.  Potentially possessing horns, tails, talons or anything else from wild creatures, Mogrelfolk are asymmetrical.  They are hardy folk living in the wilds since most civilized people are unwilling to take in the freaks.

Customized Races – The Saurials| Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition

Dungeons and dragonsHey Nerdarchists out there, Nerdarchist Ted here and it is time for yet another installment of customized races for D&D 5th edition. Saurials, humanoid Dinosaurs brought to you by the Finders stone trilogy.  It was an amazing read all those years ago.  But after reading it plagued the question, well how do I play a humanoid dinosaur in my game.

Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition

I will level with you.  I love playing unique races in Dungeons and Dragons and I have loved dinosaurs since I was a kid.  When I was in fourth grade I got the illustrated dinosaur dictionary and I have read through it many times.  Now as scientists uncover more facts about dinosaurs and change in some or many ways the way they are viewed the coolness factor of them have not changed.
