Dragons of Akanoth

Akanoth is my home setting for D&D 5e and one I have been developing and updating for a while and continue to do so. It is a setting of epic high fantasy with some twists and it is even going through an industrial revolution (at least parts are). Today I want to talk about Dragons,

Changing Classes – Adapting the UA City Domain Cleric to Traditional Fantasy

In 2015 an Unearthed Arcana (Unearthed Arcana: Modern Magic) was released with Modern/Urban Fantasy player options. While most of what was presented would likely not work very well in a traditional fantasy setting, there is one option that can (with a bit of tweaking): The City Domain Cleric Hopefully you can use these tweaks to

Changing Classes – Making a Seasons Druid by Tweaking Circle of the Land

I saw a response to a question on Twitter that inspired me. Someone asked how to make a “Seasons Druid” and one response suggested tweaking Circle of the Land to have a seasons feel. So while I do have a proper Circle of Seasons Druid subclass planned, for now, have a Circle of Land variant

Introducing Making Mythology – A New Blog Series

This is a quick post to introduce a very vague and open-ended new series on my blog: Making Mythology. The whole theme of Making Mythology is the topic of Mythology (both real world and fictional). Everything from: Player Options – Player Races, Character Classes/Subclasses/Archetypes, etc. DM Advice – How to RP the relationship between a

Pakalao and Lumiere – Two Random Gods for Pathfinder 1e

A long time ago I took part in a thread on the Paizo Pathfinder 1e forums where we collectively made a pantheon of random gods. I do not remember the exact rules, but we had to randomly select an alignment, roll to determine 3 domains, and create a god out of that. In addition to

Dread Titles: Giving Fiendish Lords and Dark Gods a bit of Flair

So you have an Archfiend or Dark God and their name just doesn’t sound terrifying, dread-inducing, or badass enough? I’ve got you covered, with a way to generate some dreadful titles. d10 Title (First Half) Title (Second Half) 1 Conqueror of the Sanguine Throne 2 Lord/Lady of the Dark Abyss 3 Bane of the Godgraves

Convents of Lolth

In D&D Lolth is the Demon Lord of Spiders and Goddess of Evil Drow. Lolth is primarily worshipped by evil Drow, where the cults are run by women and men are little more than sacrifices or slaves. Lolth is creepy and evil and her cults are too, but what if they were different. I had

Bagellian – A Nonsensical Race for D&D 5e (I made this for you Lex)

Have you ever wanted to play a Sentient Bagel in D&D 5e? Lex (@titanomachyRPG) on Twitter sure does. Did I need to make this? No. Did I make it? Yes. Is it good? Meh 🤷‍♀️ Here are the Bagellians: Nobody knows for certain where the Bagellians came from. Was a Bagel to close to the

My attempt to add some depth to Goliath Culture – Blood Divination

I started coming up with some ideas to make Goliath lore more interesting. I thought it would be cool if they had shamans who see glimpses of the future by spilling blood on ancestral stone and looking at how it spills over the stone. Here are some sample omens based on how the blood spills

Bloodrust Iron – A New Magic Material for D&D 5e

I made this magic material for my Akanoth: Feyisles D&D 5e campaign. It should be easy enough to port to any other setting, just replace any mention of Feyisles with Feywild. Bloodrust Iron Bloodrust Iron is a dull grey that is covered in what appears to be either rust or dried blood (or both). Bloodrust
