I really thought there might be a TPK tonight (the first for this group that's been playing together for more than 5 years now). D&D 5e, level 3 PCs, some bad dice rolls...

2 unconscious, 0-hp characters (1/2 the group) rolled clutch nat 20 death saves during the same round, saving themselves.

Plattecon begins at UW-Platteville (in Platteville WI).

You should come play games and talk to me in Ullsvik Hall.

If you procure books for a public library (or a friendly local game store), I do offer special pricing on The Amethyst Dragon's Hoard of Everything. All you have to do is ask.

If you are a D&D person, you can often find game books at your public library.

If your library is part of the Winding Rivers system (in Wisconsin), you can even borrow *my book* to use (just don't keep it forever, so others can use it).

The Quiltening story starter Each year, on the day of the autumnal equinox, the small farming village of Battingbrook has a traditional day of celebration of the passage of another year and the approach of winter, which they call Renewal Day. The children of the village call it Fluff Day. For months out of the year, children of the village are tasked with gathering and keeping soft feathers, soft fur, cattail fluff, and dry milkweed seed pods. The evening before Renewal Day, all of the gathered materials are brought to the great hall, a large, indoor gathering place in the center of Battingbrook. On Renewal Day, the people gather together to remove the stuffing and batting from all of the pillows and quilts they possess, then refill those objects with the fresh supply of fluffy, insulating materials gathered by the children. While this is happening, children play games, musicians perform, and the community shares meals together as they prepare for the coming winter. Today is Renewal Day, but there is a disastrous problem. The entire collection of fluffy materials disappeared during the night.

If your PCs like to help people and/or solve crimes, this little plot hook/starter may come in handy.

Inspired by 3 random words from a person at a convention: time, fluff, autumn.

There are more hooks like this at amethyst-dragon.com.

Text on yellowish background, imitating the style of stats boxes for items in D&D books. Suspenders of Disbelief Wondrous item, rare While you wear the suspenders, you may chose to fail a perception or insight check for any reason.

I am randomly reminded of this homebrew D&D item I made mostly as a joke.

I love it when my Patreon members ask me to make them something custom (members above lowest tier can do this every month).

Tonight I made a fun lava-themed magic weapon.

I am amused by the creative problem solving on how to deal with clothing and a tail. More realistic than the typical "doesn't have to make sense, the tail is just there".

Cute.

Campaign on the red one has a spelling error, though. Just gotta swap the g and the i. :)

Can I get 5 different people to each roll 1d10 and reply with your result?

Thanks.

It's funny how something simple like experimenting with a home laminator can entertain a person for several hours.

Yes, I got myself a new office toy and I'm printing and laminating a few things for my convention table. 📖

The Amethyst Dragon's Hoard of Everything has 107 D&D 5e subclasses.

I've currently got 25 more that will be in Book 2. My ideas/to-do list has another 50 subclasses I could make up, though I likely won't use all of them.

#dnd #ttrpg #writing

I also did a ton of the illustrations in the book, and did all the crowdfunding and the shipping myself.

Feel free to ask me anything about D&D stuff. :)

It's #SelfPromoSaturday for #ttrpg folks, so...

I'm the author, designer, and publisher of a 592-page D&D 5e hardcover book called The Amethyst Dragon's Hoard of Everything. I continue to write new game content 2+ times a week, and I'm working on Book 2.

To add: I did multiple years of full gen con schedules. It was a good thing for me, personally, but it doesn't work for everyone.

...event tickets, because games also fill up at those. Most smaller cons don't charge $ per game (except for some tournaments).

Dealer/vendor booths always get a full walk-through before I return to buy. I don't wait until the last day, because things I want might be sold out.

2/2

When I went to a big convention (Gen Con), I did what many recommend against: I filled my schedule as much as possible (leaving some travel, meal, and dealer hall times) with as many different games/events as I could get into.

Smaller conventions are more casual, but still good to reserve...

NPC: Whisper | The Amethyst Dragon Get more from The Amethyst Dragon on Patreon

I get words of inspiration from people who come to my table at gaming conventions, and sometimes those words lead to the creation of NPCs like Whisper, a dangerous woman who gathers and sells information to those who can pay.

Oh, the highs and lows of a single night.

Got an email saying my application for a table/booth at Gamehole Con had been approved. 🎉

A few hours later was another email, saying there'd been a glitch setting everyone to approved and they were resetting back to just "submitted." 🙄

If you've ever wanted to talk to someone who authored (& did everything else for) a D&D supplement in person, you can certainly do that.

I'll be at Plattecon (Platteville, WI), Evercon (Rothschild, WI), and Mankato Con (Mankato, MN) in the next month.

Come say hi!

Image contains text that describes a dimly lit, rustic pub.

Sometimes you just need a simple pub for #ttrpg PCs to relax in.

The Clay and Oak is a rustic place inside a city where characters can get food and drinks.

I'll be posting the NPC that owns it in a couple of days on my Patreon (for free).

A weaselly wizard tried a couple of schemes to make himself king of the campaign's starting city. The PCs thwarted him, but he got away.

He spent the rest of the campaign threatening them via Sending.

PC scrying later on showed he was often drunk in a bar.

He ended up eaten by some weird goats.

Decided to go through all the heroes currently in the Overwatch hero gallery. Each has a brief description when they are selected...except Doomfist.

Spelljammer: 5e - The Amethyst Dragon Spelljammer 5e Ship Mechanics Conversion

Original Spelljammer is the only campaign setting I ever bought everything for.

If you're looking for a take on adapting the ship mechanics to 5e, I did some work on that before WotC announced their version (which lacks any real ship stuff).

Have fun!
