Releasing free shit makes way more of a difference than I would've expected

No idea if it'll keep up, but writing one-page adventures is fun and being able to see any growth whatsoever from it is just a nice bonus
Graph showing my itch views and downloads being basically 0 prior to releasing Daughter of the Well, after which it's jumped up considerably

Just started writing the most gonzo adventure I've ever written. It's very silly.

when I talk about dnd I always mention we play with over a thousand magic items - this is why

I could gush for hours about all the different spells and items which have been just as formative to my DnD experience as official stuff has

Arcana Esoterica has several Artifact magic items, many of which are dangerous to all who dare to try using them.

The Timepiece of Klorr is a personal favourite, and I promise it's not just my Ravenloft bias talking.

#dnd5e #ttrpg #dnd
A golden pocketwatch with "Your time is running out" etched inside the lid. The Timepiece of Klorr is an Artifact magic item with charges acquired by stealing the lifespan of creatures it kills. The charges can be spent to cast Haste, Slow, and Time Stop, and it can (with diminishing returns) restore your youth. It's sentient and outwardly malevolent.

The Summon spells are some of my favourite pieces of design in #dnd5e, and Arcana Esoterica fills in some of their gaps with the likes of Summon Giant, Summon Ooze, Summon Plant, and new ideas like the following: Summon Living Cantrip.

Some of my favourite magic items that I've ever designed for #dnd5e are the cracked items, powerful relics with equally deadly downsides that are worth the price if you use them correctly!

The Cracked Coin and Cracked Crown are my favourites.

#dnd #ttrpg
The six "cracked" magic items: chalice, clock, coin, crest, crown, and crystal. They have a gold and red motif with gravity-defying cracks in them. Cracked Coin Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement) A coin split in twain by an old god’s weapon, this coin holds a spark of fickle luck. While the coin is on your person, you score a Critical Hit on a roll of 18, 19, or 20, and other creatures score a Critical Hit against you on an attack roll of 18, 19, or 20. Cracked Crown Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement) The crown of an old god. It holds a spark of godly potential. When you first attune to the crown, choose an ability score from among Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. While you wear the crown, the chosen ability score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score, and your Constitution score decreases by 2.

With over 400 new spells, I couldn't resist making some new named spellcasters for Arcana Esoterica.

These are Indalamar the Warmage's spells.

#dnd #ttrpgs #dnd5e
Indalamar's Bladestorm Level 4 Conjuration (Ranger, Warlock, Wizard) Casting Time: Action Range: Self Components: S, M (a shard of broken blade) Duration: Instantaneous You unleash a storm of metal shrapnel in a 30-foot-radius Emanation around you. Each creature you choose in the Emanation must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d6 Piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save. A creature damaged by this spell loses 2d4 Hit Points at the start of each of its turns due to a bleeding wound. The target or a creature within reach can take an action to make a Wisdom (Medicine) check against your spell save DC. If the check succeeds, the wound closes. The wound also closes if the creature receives magical healing or if it or a creature within reach takes the Utilize action and expends a use of a Healer's Kit. Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The initial damage increases by 1d6 for each spell slot level above 4. Indalamar’s First Maneuver Level 2 Transmutation (Paladin, Wizard) Casting Time: Reaction, which you take immediately after rolling Initiative Range: 60 feet Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous You briefly speed up or slow down a creature as it joins battle. One creature that you can see within range must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or you can roll 1d20 and replace the target's Initiative roll with the number rolled. Indalamar’s Piercing Blades Level 2 Conjuration (Ranger, Warlock, Wizard) Casting Time: Action Range: Self Components: V, S, M (a silver spearhead worth 25+ GP) Duration: Instantaneous You conjure a barrage of piercing weaponry. Each creature in a 15-foot Cone originating from you must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 Piercing damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful save. A creature damaged by this spell loses 1d4 Hit Points at the start of each of its turns due to a bleeding wound. The target or a creature within reach can take an action to make a Wisdom (Medicine) check against your spell save DC. If the check succeeds, the wound closes. The wound also closes if the creature receives magical healing or if it or a creature within reach takes the Utilize action and expends a use of a Healer's Kit. Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The initial damage increases by 1d6 for each spell slot level above 2.

Potions are an integral element of fantasy that #dnd5e has a weirdly low number of, most of which are just spell-in-a-bottle effects that aren't all that interesting.

Arcana Esoterica has over 20 new Potions, including these two!

#dnd #ttrpg
Potion of Cloudstepping Potion, Uncommon This potion appears to contain a swirling cloud that turns to a glimmering water when opened. When you drink this potion, your jump distance is tripled for 1 hour, and at any point while jumping or falling, provided you don't have the Incapacitated or Prone conditions, you can perform an extra High Jump or Long Jump. This extra jump doesn't cost movement and if you jumped this way as a part of falling, you subtract the distance jumped from your fall when calculating fall damage. Oil of the Elements Potion, Uncommon This shimmering oil is attuned to elemental powers. The oil can coat one weapon or up to 5 pieces of ammunition. Applying the oil takes 1 minute. For 1 hour, when the coated item hits a target as a part of an attack, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage from the attack. The type of this damage is determined by the oil, chosen by the DM or determined randomly from the options below. 1d10 | Damage Type 1 | Acid 2 | Cold 3 | Fire 4 | Force 5 | Lightning 6 | Necrotic 7 | Poison 8 Psychic 9 Radiant 10 Thunder

The first preview for Arcana Esoterica, a couple of my favourite spells: Attract/Repel and Tremolo!

#dnd #ttrpg #dnd5e
Attract/Repel Level 2 Transmutation (Artificer, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard) Casting Time: Action Range: 60 feet Components: S, M (a lodestone covered with iron filings) Duration: Instantaneous You beckon with your hand toward a creature that you can see within range, affecting them in one of the following ways: Attract. The target creature is pulled towards you a distance up to half the spell’s range. Repel. The target creature is pushed away from you a distance up to half the spell’s range. This effect can’t push a creature into a space beyond the spell’s range. A Huge or larger creature can make a Strength saving throw against the spell. On a successful save, it’s unaffected. Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The range increases by 10 feet for each spell slot level above 2. Tremolo Level 2 Evocation (Bard) Casting Time: Action Range: 60 feet Components: V, M (a scrap of sheet music) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute You create a musical trill that fills a 10-foot-radius Sphere centered on a point that you can see within range. Each creature in the Sphere that can hear the sound must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target suffers these penalties for the duration. AC Reduction. The target has a -2 penalty to AC. Disadvantage. The target has Disadvantage on attack rolls and Dexterity checks. Speed Reduction. The target’s Speed is reduced by 10 feet. An affected creature can repeat its save at the end of each of its turns, ending the spell on itself on a success.

I may be in the minority, but for me, chaos and shenanigans are not the goal at a #ttrpg table. I'm not against humor, but I love serious stories and games with stakes, and players and characters who take the secondary world and situations seriously.
Just me?
