Humpday Blog-O-Rama 9.11.19

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.

Thought Eater Podcast: Night Below Session Recap 9.8.19

We were back at it yesterday with my Night Below D&D campaign. It wasn't a very long session, but we had fun. The party wandered into a minotaur's labyrinth....find out what happened by clicking below.

Free and Pay-What-You-Want 5e DMs Guild Highlights: Week Ending 9.7.19

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.


Complete Combat Sheet 5e from Caelan Levine

Handy form-fillable sheet for DMs to plan encounters and/or track combat with. I wouldn't use this with the average encounter, but could be helpful when you have something big planned for your players. 


Mike's Free Encounters #1-10 from Michael LaBossiere

This is a compilation of ten combat encounters previously available for free here on the Guild. Easy to sprinkle into sandbox settings. Consider tipping Michael; they put up a lot of free products for folks.


Alister Konezegel's Field Guide Volume II: Aquatic Terrors from Zeke Gonzalez

Inspired collection of ten new aquatic creatures such as the Moray Dragon and the Arcanelure Anglerfish. Perfect for Saltmarsh random encounters.


Call of the Wild from Midnight Tower

I was impressed with the professional layout, cartography, and pseudo-sandbox feel of this short adventure. New items, new monsters...this is quality. If you like it, pony up for the other adventures in the series.


DM Screen Playmat (SPANISH) from Bekwo

Although I don't speak Spanish, this was so awesome that I wanted to share it for readers who might. I reaaaalllly hope a version of this in English is forthcoming, because this is a truly killer GM "screen".
