Happy Friday!

Continuing this month's Dark Fey theme is an new adventure I wrote for issue #4 of Crucible Magazine! This adventure celebrates the 10 year anniversary of one of my personal favourite adventures, Owlbear Run by Chris Perkins. It's part of the Wrath of the Dreadlords Adventure Path, but is designed to be played independently from the series. I hope you all enjoy!

Adventure Includes:

  • 35 Page Adventure PDF
  • 9 Digital Maps
  • 1 New Monster: Netherbeast



The Netherbeast Grand Prix

The Netherbeast Grand Prix is a Fifth Edition adventure for three to five characters of 6th to 8th level and optimized for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 7.

The Twilight Forest is a region in the faerie realm known for its chaotic wildlife and equally mercurial ruler, the Duchess of Twilight. Each year on Gloaming Day—the yearly equinox with equal parts of darkness and daylight—the Duchess hosts a tournament known for its outlandish competitions and rich rewards. Contestants and patrons from around the planes come to compete for the grand prize, one that consistently exceeds even the most outrageous challenges. Previous years included jousting matches on the backs of wyverns, a chess tournament with miniaturized participants, and a scavenger hunt set in the heart of a volcano.

This Gloaming Day contest is the Netherbeast Grand Prix, a daring sprint from the city of Darkthorn through the deadly Twilight Vale to Duskwood Heights—all while in a racing wagon pulled by a fierce netherbeast. The teams face unstable crevasses, bloodthirsty creatures, cutthroat competition, and patrons willing to do whatever it takes for their team to win. Not to mention that netherbeasts are known for their irritable nature and propensity for quite literally biting the hand that feeds them.

With a highly competitive field of patrons looking to sponsor the best teams, it’s anyone’s guess who will be crowned this year's champions and take home the grand prize!



Crucible Magazine is an epic magazine for Fifth Edition available in print, digital or Foundry VTT module.

The Broken Circle – Druid

The druids of the Broken Circle are rebels from the norm, breaking away from the common druidic tenet of nurturing life. Instead, they concentrate on death’s cycle to bring forth new growth.

  • Conquer your fear of dying and instead, welcome Death’s Embrace to keep you or an ally alive.
  • As your studies improve, learn to combine Life and Death into each of your spells.
  • Masters of the Broken Circle can use their Revivifying Vines to create new life from a dead creature.

I love your stuff, and I understand cross-promotion and all. But as someone who backed Crucible, and Loot Tavern, I get less content on months like this. Do you have plans on going back to mostly original stuff, or will most of your stuff be collabs from now on? No hate or aspersion meant, I totally understand this is a business and it makes more sense to get yoru content (which is great) in front of more eyes

Hey Frank, thanks for the kind words! They're really appreciated! I also appreciate your support of Crucible, that's awesome! And good question! In the spirit of openness, last year was quite a doozy for me and after taking on Crucible, I took a pretty major loss in patrons here (lost almost half). In order to keep the lights on and food on the table (writing D&D content is my sole income), I took on some freelance writing work with folks like Loot Tavern, MonkeyDM, and some others. I'm working on regaining the numbers here so that I don't have to take on that extra work, but until then, there's only so many hours in the day and adventures that I can work on in one month, so you'll see some collabs here and there. At least all of the Crucible content is set in my setting of the Freelands and they're only every other month! :) That being said, I recently closed out some of my side work that's opened up more time for me to put towards DMTC-only content, so you will see an uptick! I have a couple things I've been working on the little free time I have that I'm hoping will get folks excited. Over the next month or so you'll start seeing more DMTC-only content as they get wrapped up. Thanks again for the support, it means the world to me! Also, feel free to jump in the discord any time and chat with me directly if there is certain content or themes you'd like to see more of!
