Hello folks of the Gold and Platinum tiers!
Just a quick note on full classes and the status of these.
Full classes take a whoooole lot of time to make, mostly because they're a pain to balance haha. Regardless, I do have a goal this month to knock them all out before March comes here. So if you've got a full class on the books, it should be done soon.
However, if you'd ...

Yesterday, I put up a poll breaking down the racial demographics of the Blackleaft Forest region and now the results are in! I have to admit, there were quite a few surprises.
Elves - 22 votes - 15% - 123,218
Medusas - 22 votes - 15% - 123,022
Goblinoids - 17 votes - 12% - 98,496
Gnomes - 16 votes - 11% ...
2019-02-12 19:53:17 +0000 UTC View PostNow that we've zoomed in to Blackleaf Forest and Wicked Maple Grove, I probably need some more forest-themed monsters to go in here. These will be in addition to the others included in Creaturepedia due out latert his month.
What do you got, folks?
I've included the map again for your conve...
2019-02-12 04:31:04 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday, we selected the Wicked Maple Grove region of the Blackleaf Forest. Now it's time that we decided on a government form for this region.
I'm using the old 2nd edition World Builder's Guidebook to give us ideas for governments.
The government form with the most votes wins. However, second place will be the form of government that is conspiring to overthrow the...

As you probably saw, we just narrowed down the Blackleaf Forest to Wicked Maple Grove. That gave us a number of interesting locations for our campaign.
While I'm still collecting ideas for the area, I thought I might flesh out one of the major settlements a bit more.
Bygrove is the largest settlement in the Wicked Maple Grove region. I'd guess that it probably makes up for 65%...

Time to learn more about the Blackleaf Forest. We're now focused in on the Wicked Maple Grove area of the Forest. I created the map through Inkarnate, then used donjon.bin.sh's random name generator to come up with some interesting locations.
The Ninth Kingdom of Enombath continues to develop. While we're anxiously awaiting to learn the results of the regional-scale map that we'll be focusing on, I thought I might take an opportunity to poll you all on the actual demographics of the Blackleaf Region.
This one will work similar to the last subclass poll where more than one answer will win. In fact, ALL of the answers will...
2019-02-11 17:33:41 +0000 UTC View PostI'm on a roll tonight, creating lots of fun stuff for Wandrossa. While I'm eagerly awaiting the results of the two latest polls, I thought I might take a look at the average climates for the regions of Wandrossa, and then take a further look at what the climate and weather is like for the Ninth Kingdom of Enombath and the Blackleaf Forest.

As we go along and build this world, I've decided to collect all the editions in weekly installments of what-I'm-calling The Wandrossa Gazetteer.
Here is the first volume, which details the map, locations, new monsters, and races of this crowdsourced world.
Enjoy!
2019-02-11 01:31:11 +0000 UTC View PostWe've gone from a global scale, to a continental scale, and now we're down to a Kingdom scale.
Time to shrink things even further to be our regional scale.
Using the map above, vote on one of the areas for us to expand further into the Regional map for the Ninth Kingdom setting.
This is my second try at getting this poll up. The first time, it didn't stick for whatever reason.
I'm adding 3 subclasses to the Creaturepedia book that's due out at the end of February.
I took to Instagram for subclass suggestions. Which of the suggestions below do you like best?
You can vote as many times as you like. When the poll is over (probably in about 24 hours...
2019-02-10 16:05:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
Just a couple days ago I demonstrated just how large the Ninth Kingdom of Enombath is by comparing it to the United States. Today I want to dive down a little deeper and pick a quadrant that we're going to focus on.
I'll divide the Kingdom into four main areas: northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest.

Hey all!
Since I'm a little behind on requests and my normal slate of creations, I'm going to push the release of MARTIAL to the end of March, and instead make a monster book tentatively titled Creaturepedia I: Monsters of the Ninth Kingdom which will be the first official release for the Wandrossa campaign setting (flexible with all other settings, of course).

2019-02-09 15:48:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
My work conference is almost over. Today I thought I might show you a little scale comparison for you to get an idea of just how big the Ninth Kingdom is.
Each hex represents 100 miles.
For population, the Ninth Kingdom has roughly 13 million humanoids. I extrapola...

If you haven't heard, I'm at a work conference in Austin (by the way, the food is UH-MAZING here) until Friday night. When I get back on Saturday, I plan to knock out a bunch of content before my Saturday night session that's at 5:30pm.
One thing I'd really like to get caught up on is original monster creation. Being that we're starting in Blackleaf for adv...
2019-02-07 17:43:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe two regions battled it out pretty significantly, but in the end, it was Blackleaf forest that won.
Thanks to donjon.bin.sh, we've got some cool labels on this map. And of course, we know Blackleaf f...
2019-02-07 16:58:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys!
Sorry for being slow on content today. And I promise I'm getting to messages at some point tonight.
Here's a quick poll for you. I'm building out a mystery adventure set in Wandrossa right now, but I'm not sure where to set it just yet. Below, I've included six interesting regions. I don't know anything about these regions other than the labels.
Which one of these re...

So, for whatever reason, donjon wouldn't create more than a single continent when I was messing with the other day. Also, I didn't save any variations of the map, and since donjon's map generator doesn't have a save feature, this left me in kind of a tight spot.
Therefore, I decided to try again today. And I'm pretty happy with what came up. Now, instead of just one big chunky conti...
2019-02-05 14:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostA couple days ago, I introduced a blank map that I created using donjon's map generator. It has a few names on it, some geography, but that's it. Here it is:
I don't know anything about this world. Which is kind of overwhelming and thrilling all at the same time.
Today I got this crazy idea...
2019-02-05 05:14:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Just letting you know that I'm hard at work on swag. I got a cool idea over the weekend for what I hope to do with the swag and I'm pricing things out now and seeing how to make it work.
If all things go right, this is what you can hope to see with the swag:
Happy Monday, folks! While the theme for the adventure series is still up in the air (it's neck-and-neck between Fey and Aberrations... maybe a war between the two? Weird vs Wonderful!) I thought I might start planning out stuff now.
Much of this I'm going to do using a similar method that I demonstrated in my recent "How to Make an Adventure in 30 Minutes or Less" tutorial over on the bl...

If for whatever reason it's not downloading right (it's coming up as a weird nameless file for some reason), save it as EVIL.pdf. It should, in theory, open up correctly.
On my PC, it prompts me what app I want to open it with. I've been opening it with Acrobat which immediately turns it in...
2019-02-04 18:35:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! I'm probably going to be hitting the 100 patron goal today, which means I'll need to start cooking up some adventures. Already, you've seen the map I'll be working with (dang, donjon is cool, right?)
Now I just need some theme ideas!
Basically, each of the major releases by "them wizards" has a theme to it.
The groundhog saw it's shadow yesterday, so, uh, polar vortex! I guess. I don't know what any of those things I just said mean. :|
Anywhoo, I'm getting the content calendar put together. I've picked up about 25 patrons in the last couple days alone (you guys are AWESOME, thank you so much), but, of course, that's probably going to put me in the weeds for requests. So I'll be slowing down ...

It's password protected. The password is evil2019

I needed a quick solution for a map builder, so I turned to donjon's fantasy generator. This will be the "vanilla" setting for the adventures I'll be publishing since I don't want it to overlap with Omerian Echo and I can't use a certain campaign setting with the initials "FR" because copyrights, etc.
Anyways, I ...

Big announcement today! While Patreon is slowly recovering from what I'm calling Patreonapocalypse 2019 (sorry for those who are trying to get a copy of EVIL or sign-up!), I thought I'd go ahead and announce February's collected edition theme:

2019-02-02 21:09:25 +0000 UTC View PostWe're about to hit the 100 patrons mark which is awesome, because that means I'll be creating monthly adventures!
Only trouble is, when we hit the next goal (which I'm pushing up to 250) I have no idea what to create next.
So far we've got:
1) Monthly books a la EVIL (when we hit 25)
2) Quarterly campaign settings (when we hit 50)
