Hey all!
BroadSword #1 is on its way to the printers. I should have a proof, hopefully, by next week or the week after at the lastest.
For those interested in getting a first look, here's a preview of the first 15 pages.
I'm sure there's going to be typos. LOL... but hey, the ol...

Monster hunting requires incredible organizational skills and plenty of teamwork, especially when faced with challenges that are beyond-deadly. For this reaso...

Hey!
I'm breaking ground for the October BroadSword's horror issue and the monster hunter setting I'm putting in there.
I need some ideas for monster hunter stuff:
- Subclasses
- Items
- Spells
- Feats
Looking forward to see what you all come...

So, in addition to the return of requests, I'll also be tossing in BroadSword Previews. Furthermore, I'll be closing off roughly 2/3 of it on the blog. That way, only patrons will have access. For example, if I make a dungeon with 24 rooms, you've got to become a patron to see what's in rooms 7-2...

Hey everyone! I'm tossing in a bonus this month for requests. All patrons get a monster request, even if they're at the $3 copper tier. It won't use any of your normal requests for the month.
These monsters will appear in the Halloween issue of BroadSword.
Here's what I need from you ...

After putting together a new list of feats today for a request, I noticed that most feats shake out to around 50 - 100 words. So I figured: why not offer rewards for everyone?
Here's how it will work. Everone gets a number of words per month at a rate of $0.10 per word. So if you're at the ...

In addition to the return to requests for Patrons, I'll be taking the requests I make and put them into BroadSword Magazine. Because of our creation schedule, it will probably be a 3 month lag or so until you see it in print, so expect to see requests ahead of time in PDF format.

Hey all!
Big thanks to Scott for getting this PDF together. Trial of Heroes is a throwback to the Challenge of Champions adventures from Dungeon Magazine. It was a ton of fun to make and probably in my personal top 10 creations of all time.
Hope you enjoy!

Happy end of the month, folks!
You probably notice I've been quiet the last week. I've been working on three things:

Hey all!
Working my way through the content for Complete Psionics.
So far I've got the Psion class, 12 subclasses, rules for Wild Talents, new monsters, and plenty of psionic powers going into it.
What else would you like to see in it?

Here is the first major part of what I'm working on for June's book.
Psions! A lot of you guessed that's what it'd be and you're 100% right. The book will feature this class (fixed up), plus a few subclasses, monsters, and a whole boatload of new spells/power and mechanics.

Heya folks,
This week, I've probably put 30,000 words to paper, mostly kept in the background. So sorry if I've been quiet. I've got a new book that I'm working on that's a revival of an old 2nd edition book as well as working on the content for BroadSword magazine.

Hey all!
Sorry for being quiet lately. BroadSword's kept me pretty busy (as well as work) so I've been a little quieter than normal.
Just a heads up on what I am working on though. I should be putting up a new character class soon in full PDF format.
In fact, it might incl...

As we continue to build out our unnamed "Kaiju World", I wanted to send out a poll to see what you all think the most important class in this world is.
This doesn't have to be the most common class, but the one that's most needed in a world dominated by powerful monsters and punishing seas....

As you can see, most of the world has been drowned by the seas and there's hardly any ice caps left. The remaining lands are covered in desert, jungles, and dense swamps.
Let's narrow things in a bit more now since we have our theme.
We need a base of operations for our starting...

Okay, so we've got some thematic ideas for our "Kaiju World."
But what should its dominant terrain type be? I'd like to keep it narrowed to a single type just to give it a little more flavor.
Choices are below! Vote once!

Hey all! Sorry for being so slow to posting.
This new PDF is HUGE. So it took a little time to work on.

Perhaps it's because we've all got Godzilla fighting monsters on the mind, but it seems that a lot of folks were kinda interested in an idea of a semi-post-apocalyptic world over run by colossal monsters.

Hey all!
A while back I did a Wandrossa campaign setting that got everyone involved with the process of building a campaign world. And while that may have been a little extreme in its execution, I think the core idea--a community built campaign setting for Fifth Edition--was pretty good.

Say you want to do an all human campaign; perhaps you’re doing a modern horror setting or your campaign is a sword and sorcery epic. The problem with that is that there isn’t a whole lot of variety there. In fact, the necessity for having “races” at all vanishes. Humans either get ability...

I've created scalable lizardfolk for your enjoyment! This one was pretty fun and, for once, I didn't need to rely on Legendary Actions/Resistance to push it over the top in terms of damage.
