[OC] Fishmarket [22x38]
>"Onward!" The ringleader ordered, quietly but sternly. "Get to the sloop, and stay inconspicuous!"
>As they pushed into the fish market, the roads gave way from the sticky mud to an easier to traverse cobblestone. With cloaks and cart wheels caked in dirt, they pushed on.
>Suddenly, the rear cart froze. The lagging member of the entourage looked back breathlessly at a column of armored guards barreling towards him and his cart full of ill-begotten loot. He failed to notice the ringleader take up his side. Gently, he took the panicked thief's arm and whispered gently "Breathe... Look down. Focus on getting the goods to the dock."
>As the column of guards overtook them, the thieves continued to push on as if they belonged. Their mud-caked cloaks and ragged carts were a camouflage against the truth buried under only a little fabric, the precious statuettes bundled within. As quickly as they had come, the guards passed them by without even a second glance.
>The rattled thief let out a sigh of relief. "I feel faint.." he whispered. "Don't let up just yet," The ringleader replied, helping the cart along. "The sloop is in sight!"
>Then, the worst sound that ever could have fallen on their ears penetrated through the rain and city commotion. "You there... Halt! State your business!" ordered a nearby guard.
>The ringleader barely lifted his cloak for his associates to see the dagger hidden in his belt. "Be ready, and don't hesitate. Push on no matter what happens next!"

Artificer Character Reference Sheet
We have been releasing some of our Art Hoard every saturday, and this week we have Coyote the Dragon's amazing character reference art. This elven Artificer Is quite the tinkerer but the real beauty in this pic comes from her gun if you ask us!
Freedom Phoenix - CR 22 Elemental (Celestial)
A new creature has risen from the ashes of freedom!
The exact origins of the Freedom Phoenix are unknown. Some believe it to be the very manifestation of a people's will. Their will to fight for their freedom, and of others who seek shelter under a united banner. Others claim it is a guardian of the concept of justice. An objective force that makes itself known when the time is right.
However, what is known for a fact about this magnificent creature when it appears. Whenever the people cry out for liberation, and gather together to stand against their oppressors, the Freedom Phoenix can be seen soaring through the sky. Those who gaze upon it will either be filled with unimaginable courage and resolve, or with crushing dread, knowing their reign will soon end.
Regardless of its true origins, the Freedom Phoenix is a harbinger of change, revolution, and inspiration. Whether it arrives to herald the end of an empire, or the beginning of something greater, the Freedom Phoenix serves as a reminder of those who gave their lives so that the people may live freely. A representative of the brave paragons who could not rise from the ashes, but still chose to walk into the flames for those who could not.
Happy 4th of July, Mighty Adventurers!

The Great Dwarven Colosseum 30x40 battle map
Have we defaulted too much to "same time, same day, we play with whoever shows up" or is this really the strategy we like?
I was playing 3.5e as a kid in my parent's basement and it was with a couple of friends and we just loved building characters. We would rarely play more than a dungeon and it was a ton of fun. I took about a 10 year break then COVID lockdowns and Critical Role meshed into my life and brought the obsession with the game back. Since 2020, I've been running 5e games for my friends and introducing it to 10 newbies. Throughout this, I've been struggling and adapting to different scheduling styles. I went from just a dungeon to wanting a long spanning campaign with amazing backgrounds and narratives with fun mechanics, puzzles and encounters. I usually blend modules and homebrew.
The last 6 years have led me to trying a bunch of different scheduling styles. It has been a major frustration trying to get campaigns going. Only over the past probably 9 months, have I finally felt like I hit my stride in scheduling successfully and getting the narrative the players and me as a DM want.
The more people I've talked to about scheduling online and in person have been split. On one side, there's the Casual Drop-In Default: Same day, same time, and we march on with whoever is sitting in the chairs. On the other side, there's the High-Commitment Contract: We only play if the whole party (or a strict quorum) can make it, treating game night as a sacred, high-priority commitment.
There is some interesting behavior psychology around "weak-link" principle and FOMO and how it influences group cohesion and long term success of playing these type of games out. My feeling is we, game master and dungeon masters, are having to water down our sessions or default to barebones adventures without mixing in backgrounds or momentum because of these scheduling decisions.
Which camp does your current group fall into, and is it actually working for your campaign long term?

Goblin Shadowmancer, Goblin Alchemist, and Goblin King - Expanded Goblins for Your Campaign
These pages are from Goblins & Goblins, my manual focused on expanding goblins into a much wider range of roles, encounters, factions, and campaign tools.
This preview includes the Goblin Shadowmancer, a CR 3 spellcaster built around darkness, fear, teleportation, necrotic magic, and optional shadow traits; the Goblin Alchemist, a chaotic potion-maker with random concoctions, explosive flasks, and extra customization options; and the Goblin King, a CR 4 leader who commands nearby goblins, uses legendary actions, and can turn a messy goblin fight into something much more dangerous.
I wanted Goblins & Goblins to make goblins feel fresh again, not just as disposable low-level enemies, but as tricksters, leaders, weird specialists, faction members, recurring villains, or chaotic allies that can show up at many different levels of play.
What’s Inside?
- Tons of Goblin Statblocks – From the explosive Goblin Alchemist to the fearsome Goblin King, with extra traits and variants for customization.
- Unique Goblin Races – Expand your bestiary with Desert Goblins, Sky Goblins, Snow Goblins, and Swamp Goblins, each with unique abilities and lairs.
- Goblin Campaign Tools – Factions, encounter ideas, trap-filled hideouts, and a goblin name table to enrich your adventures.
- 75+ Magic Items – From general goblin gear to race-specific magic items tailored for each goblin subrace.
- VTT & Art Resources – Includes 36 art handouts and 28 creature tokens to bring goblins to life at your table.

The most dangerous encounters start with a warm bed and a locked cellar door... Welcome to Restless Hill Inn [35x20] [OC]
7-8 Nat 20's on 11-13 roll streak!
Friend locked in 7-8 natural 20 rolls on a 13 roll streak in one run with only single lower throws in between... he's scotch-irish ... Got that natural luck on his side; I attest to it.
As honestly I've never seen it done and i only rolled one natural 20 in like a 26 roll attempt at them lol
Did the math on it (google ai) and it came up this.
The probability of rolling exactly 8 natural 20s in a 13-roll sequence, where every non-20 roll is a single throw (i.e., no two non-20s are adjacent), is approximately \(0.00000038\%\) (or about 1 in 262.5 million).
I joked and said I'm brining him to a "Craps table" lol J/K
Thought I'd share as I've never seen it done before.
Creepy Pasta DnD Campaign for the win!
Happy rolling fellow DnD Lovers!
