Good morning!

I wanted to give a heads up that a watercolor spot (the stars tier) has opened up for Sept and this month's theme will be foxes! Here's a few from previous years :)

Also have two sketch spots (the branches tier) as well.

Oct will be halloween themed!

pencil drawing of a fox with a long tail. he has gold antlers on his head. the paper is grey. sleeping fox painting. it is muted orange and blue, using its tail as a pillow. long antlers come out of his head. curled up fox on brown paper. red and black lines were used to draw him, and the background has white scrubbed across it. charcoal sketch of a fox in the mist. he is peering at the viewer, part of him is fading away.

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a giant crab #yokai known as kanibozu. These creatures take on the form of priests and move into empty temples. If a new priest arrives to lead the temple the kanibozu demands they answer a riddle & if they can't solve it, they get eaten.

We make inventive magic items for your #DnD games that WotC couldn't dream of creating. Get them all when you support us on our Patreon. patreon.com/abyssalbrews
Grips of Force Gloves, rare Though these gloves are heavy to lift, putting them on makes them feel remarkably comfortable on your hands. While wearing these gloves, you have advantage on Strength checks where you can grip part of the object. While wearing these gloves, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls and the damage rolls you make with unarmed strikes. You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike. Additionally, you can choose to deal force damage instead of bludgeoning damage with your unarmed strikes. Each time you hit a hostile creature with an unarmed strike while wearing these gloves, you gain 1 charge of pressure up to a maximum of 5 charges. When you hit with an unarmed strike while you have pressure charges, you can choose to spend any amount of charges knocking the enemy away from you 5 feet per charge spent. If the enemy strikes a solid object while they are being knocked back, they take 1d4 bludgeoning damage per charge spent and are knocked prone. All pressure charges are lost if you do not hit a hostile creature with an unarmed strike for 10 minutes.

Oh yeah, it was about this sceptre that lets you bonk folks with the power of amnesia, the greatest writer's plot device of all time! We make new #DnD content every week on our Patreon. Support us there to get it all. patreon.com/abyssalbrews
Goldie Scepter, very rare Fashioned from a single piece of elderwood, the handle of this sturdy scepter features a pattern resembling waves. The bulbous end appears to be a completely enclosed fish bowl that is home to a friendly goldfish named Goldie. While holding this scepter, you can telepathically communicate with Goldie where you will quickly learn that she is quite forgetful. That doesn’t dissuade her from being excited about her magically sustained life of adventure in the orb and she hopes that you’ll take her to amazing new places. Spells. This scepter has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells (save DC 17) from it: detect thoughts (1 charge), hypnotic pattern (2 charges), confusion (3 charges), or compulsion (3 charges). The scepter regains 1d4+3 charges daily at dawn. Forget Me So. When a creature fails a saving throw against an effect of a spell cast from this scepter, you can spend an additional charge as part of the same action to blur the realities of the last 10 minutes. Their memory becomes foggy and they are open to suggestions of what took place. They do not forget if you attacked them or brought them physical harm in some other manner.

Originally made to celebrate our 100th item (we're over 220 these days) we put together a little friend that can turn into a big problem for someone in your #Pathfinder2E campaigns.

Abby is our lovable kraken mascot here and now you can have her in your games!
Pocket Abby ITEM 14 Uncommon, Conjuration, Magical Price 2407 gp Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L This small, hand stitched doll is crafted with extreme care and precision. The soft, felt-like texture of the outside makes it perfect for hugging in moments that you might find yourself scared or overwhelmed. The doll was made to resemble Abby, a formidable kraken that is said to be in possession of a massive trove of magical items. For today though, this one just seems to be very cute. While you are holding the Pocket Abby you gain a +2 item bonus to saving throws against effects that would make you frightened. Activate (AAA) command, Interact; Frequency once per day; Effect You speak a phrase and throw the Pocket Abby toward a point of your choosing that you can see within 30 feet. When it gets to that point it instantaneously transforms into a Giant Octopus that will fight for you. The octopus has the Amphibious trait instead of the Aquatic trait. Additionally, it has a fly speed of 40 feet and it can effectively use its Ink Cloud and Jet actions without being underwater. You can Sustain the Activation of the Pocket Abby for up to 1 minute.

Happy Friday. Stab a king (in D&D).

And get more #DnD king stabbing instruments on our Patreon. patreon.com/abyssalbrews
Regicide Dagger, Legendary There exists a sect of assassins who pride themselves on targeting high level figures and getting away without being noticed. They sometimes move in the shadows, but often prefer to do their work in the daylight so that none could argue the causes of their target’s demise. Their specialized daggers deliver deadly poison in precision strikes, that when wielded properly are never even noticed by their targets. This dagger is one such weapon. You have a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Additionally, you can choose to have this dagger deal poison damage instead of its typical piercing damage. Once per day, you can make an attack with this weapon with such subtlety that it may not be noticed by the target. If the target is not hostile towards you, you gain advantage on this attack. If the attack hits, roll a Sleight of Hand check versus the target’s Passive Perception. If the check fails, the target is still hit and takes damage, but knows that you attacked it. If the check succeeds, the target takes full damage from the attack, but doesn’t realize they were attacked as the wound closes instantly and a deadly poison is delivered into their body. Every hour for the next 8 hours they must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, taking 42 (12d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Recognizing the condition as a poison and counteracting it can be done with a successful DC 19 Medicine check. This ability recharges daily at dawn when the pommel refills with poison.

A lone character stands in a terrible swamp, torch held above their head. The colours are all sickly yellows and greens with hints of ashen blue. The text "Wish you were here" sparkles at an odd angle just above and to the left of the figure.

Tonight I'm releasing a free poison swamp region for any TRPG campaign inspired by both the works of Hidetaka Miyazaki and by @linkskywalker.bsky.social's Flux Space blogpost which I was recently exposed to in @themerrymushmen.bsky.social's Knock 5!

Enjoy.

The Polgrop lives in the deep forests of Strangehollow. It is a distant cousin to the Spriggle but very rare. This is due to its unfortunate colouring which makes it very easy pickings for predators. Learn more in my book Savage Strangehollow and get notified on launch here - buff.ly/UDRlQEO #art
