Check out the Order of Antiquity! The Order of Antiquity is for wizards who specialize in ancient history, discovering forgotten magic in the scrolls and ruins of long-list civilizations. PDF: www.gmbinder.com/sha... GMBinder: www.somanyrobots.com... #dnd #dnd5e #5e #dndwizard #dndhomebrew

It is really good, y’all.

New review is up for Spellbound Sea, by @bjkgames.com of @geektogeekmedia.com! I think it's a great book, but you don't have to just take my word for it :) . geektogeekmedia.com/... #dnd #dnd5e #spellboundsea

End-of-the-month day over on Patreon! Here's May's roundup of everything that happened (Fireworks! Trees! Old stuff! **New Necromancer class!**) www.patreon.com/post... #dnd #dnd5e #dndnecromancer #dndbard #dndwizard #dndspecies #dndrace #dndhomebrew

I was interviewed pretty extensively for this piece, which is a nice overview of the state of the 5E-vs.-2024 conversation. Really good hearing other designers' perspectives, too! #dnd #dnd5e

NEW FROM TTRPG INSIDER: Third-party designers for D&D don't appear too interested in changing to the 2024 rules despite Wizards of the Coast's efforts to try and make it easier. www.ttrpginsider.news/p/third-part...

I tried writing multiple different SMASH puns for this post, none of them worked, so just enjoy my favorite D&D barbarians, will ya?

New Buccaneer Fighter Subclass Guide for Songs of the Spellbound Sea from SoManyRobots rpgbot.net/new-buccanee... #DnD #DnD5e #TTRPG #CharacterOptimization @somanyrobots.com

Patreon polls up! I've released the first draft(s) of my necromancer class, and need to pick which structure to advance. Necromancer: www.patreon.com/post... Subclass poll: www.patreon.com/post... Supporter poll (necro subs): www.patreon.com/post... #dnd #dnd5e #5eplusplus #dndnecromancer

So here's a thing that's cool as heck: @rpgbot.net did a writeup for my buccaneer fighter subclass, published in Songs of the Spellbound Sea! rpgbot.net/dnd5/char... #dnd #dnd5e #spellboundsea

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

Just posted the April update on my patreon! A new monk sub, some magic items, and two (timed) supporter-exclusives, a wizard and a warlock. Plus progress on the book and the necromancer class! www.patreon.com/post... #dnd #dnd5e #dndhomebrew #dndwizard #dndwarlock #dndmonk

Today I've got the Way of the Silver Glimmer! A lunar monk who fights with moon-magic! www.reddit.com/r/Une... #dnd #dnd5e #dndmonk #dndhomebrew

My subclass poll for next month is up! Tell me what to make! www.patreon.com/post... Paid supporters this month get to vote on a species: www.patreon.com/post... #dnd #dnd5e #dndhomebrew

Stonemaier Games, the folks behind Wingspan its many clones/siblings, is filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the tariffs. stonemaiergames.com/we-are-suing...

With Songs of the Spellbound Sea at 1.0, it's available for reviewers! If you're a D&D or TTRPG reviewer in any format and interested in a beautiful and care-made 5E book, hit me up - review PDFs are available. #dnd #ttrpgs #dnd5e #dndreviews #ttrpgreviews

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

I'm not saying anything others haven't already said - but the administration's new tariffs are completely insane, as policy, and will wreak absolute havoc on the tabletop gaming industry. Get angry and contact your representatives. www.patreon.com/post...

Today I've got the Runemarked Sorcerer! Power your magic with runic inscriptions upon your own body. PDF: www.somanyrobots.com... GMBinder: www.gmbinder.com/sha... #dnd #dnd5e #dndsorcerer #dndhomebrew

Songs of the Spellbound Sea is officially at 1.0! A 336 page PDF with 3 classes (42 subclasses), 30 *more* subs, 300 spells, seafaring rules, and so much more! All of it tested and balanced carefully to enhance your games. Set sail! spellbound-sea.backe... #dnd #dnd5e #spellboundsea 1/2

Well, I promised I'd do daily threads until the book got finished - and it did! Yesterday the v0.99 draft of Songs of the Spellbound Sea went out to backers. Doing daily threads is honestly a lot of work, so I will be happy to take a break from that :). #dnd #dnd5e #spellboundsea 1/2

Today's the v15 release of Spells That Don't Suck! The final™ release, with **177** rebalanced and rewritten spells for 5E. Check it out! PDF: www.somanyrobots.com... GMBinder: www.gmbinder.com/sha... Reddit discussion: www.reddit.com/r/Une... #dnd #dnd5e #dndspells #dndhomebrew

Let's talk about multiclassing! I think it's one of the most polarizing topics in 5E. Personally, I think it works *okay* - not great, but okay - but it introduces design considerations a class- or subclass designer really needs to keep in mind. #dnd #dnd5e #spellboundsea 1/11
