Humpday Blog-O-Rama 1.29.20

Blogs are an integral, vital part of the RPG hobby. They serve as incubators for new games, sounding boards for fresh ideas, and platforms for up-and-coming talent. They keep "forgotten" games alive, foster discussions, and build communities.

Every Wednesday on the Thought Eater podcast and blog, I take a look at what is going on in the vibrant RPG blog scene. Check out previous Humpday Blog-O-Rama posts HERE.

Sunday Zine Club: Episode #1 (Guest: Tim Shorts)

Aside from the actual PLAYING of games, my favorite things about this wonderful hobby are those two bastions of DIY creativity, zines and blogs. I tackle blogs every week on Humpday Blog-O-Rama...and now on Sundays I bring you Sunday Zine Club! Pocketmods, pamphlets, digest-sized, PDFs...I love them all! Expect cool features, news, reviews, interviews, and more! All of the links from related topics will be listed here on the blog, much like the Humpday show.

You can "join the club" and make the show better. Are you working on a zine? Do you have zine-related news to share? Would you like to send me a review copy or to be considered for an interview on the show? I want to hear from you! Email me at frothsof at gmail or use the contact form on my blog (visible in desktop mode in the right-hand column).

Free and Pay-What-You-Want 5e DMs Guild Highlights: Week Ending 1.25.20

Every week, talented creators upload Dungeons and Dragons products to the DMs Guild, pricing them as free or pay-what-you-want in order to reach customers. Dozens of new free and pwyw products are added each week alone. It is a lot to sort through. My hope is that highlighting a few of each week's best supplements will help the designers get the attention they deserve.

You can find previous posts in this series HERE.



Fluidic Race from Caleb Wichman

I enjoy the bizarre ancestries you sometimes find on the DMs Guild, and even though I may never end up playing them in a game, they make me imagine how I would roleplay them. I think I would name my gelatinous ooze "Weird Gerald". 


Dragon Wing from Multiple Authors

Ride dragons and attack a skycastle in this epic one-shot! Highlighted by wonderful maps, pro layout, and its exceedingly ambitious vibe.


Tinker Emporium Vol.1: Common from Revlis M

Tinker Emporium Vol.2: Uncommon from Revlis M

Tinker Emporium Vol.3: Rare from Revlis M

Tinker Emporium Vol.4: Very Rare from Revlis M

Quality series of homebrew magic items, ten to a volume, notable for containing illustrations of each item. Includes rar files with png images of the items.


The Apothecary Grimoire from Sean Mullins

Interesting potion-crafting supplement detailing the harvested ingredients and instructions needed for the creation of the twenty-four potions in the DMG. This is filled with great ideas and flavor.


The Marsh of Mire and Malice from Brendan Hainline

I mentioned part one of this series, The Iceberg of Rime and Ruin, a while back. The plot of the Dragon-Blood Series focuses on hunting down the remaining cultists from the Tyranny of the Dragons adventures. This installment takes the PCs to the Marsh of Chelimber.
