Forgotten Foes Volume 1

With the first wave of my new forgotten foe monsters released (and don't worry, we will do more!) I bundled the monsters so far into one handy volume for easier use. You can find this in the vault, as per usual and right here in this post!

For now, Ben is on a well deserved break but will return to this project with gusto. Until then I have lined up some other content for this month before we will continue with more Forgotten Foes and an eventual kickstarter project in the months to com...

Forgotten Foes: Tainted Fey

I am very excited about this update! Trolls and their taint that I came up with have been a really fun part of my worldbuilding and this was one of the rare times where I suggested a monster theme to Ben.

Enjoy the update and enjoy infecting your players with the vile troll taint!

DM Tuz Table Scraps: Blood Sand Cartel #2

Here you go, the next part of my Blood Sand Cartel rogue gallery! Enjoy these NPCs and feel free to utilize them however you see fit!

Forgotten Foes: Therion

Working on this update was quite a treat. I am very pleased with how the game design turned out. While this offering is a bit more vanilla than usual, I think people will find plenty of use for these monsters (as intended).

Have fun releasing these nasty critters upon your players!

Tuz's Fearsome Foes: Goliath & Furfeather

Oh what a lovely duo of unlikely friends. This is a bit of a different take on the "fearsome foes" concept, where I present to you a foe to feature in your game that does not necessarily need to be fought like a common monster.

Let your imagination run wild with the concept and ideas presented in this update! Have fun with it :D

Patreon Monster Rewards December & January

A small number of monster requests were handed in in December and January, so I compiled them together in one update!

Thanks for everyone who was patient with me during my recovery in late December/January. We started the year off great and I can't wait to show you what I have in stock for you this year!

DM Tuz Table Scraps: Blood Sand Cartel

As alot of new people joined my patreon this month, let me explain again what the series "Table Scraps" is about:

Table Scraps is material that I created for both my private home game, as well as the patreon game. It mostly consists of monsters or unique mechanics that I created for these. Each of the material you find here was used in my own games at one point. Of course I took another look at them and gave them a little bit of polish before adding them to the Table Scraps. Occasionall...

Forgotten Foes: The Moon Kin

Bigger delay than I hoped, but recovery is a pain.

In other news, I am working on a collab which will probably allow me to present you a large amount of patreon exclusive content once it is all wrapped up! For now I cannot go into too much details though.

For now I hope you will enjoy this update. More Forgotten Foes are on the way, as well as a new Fearsome Foe!

LOBE Archive: Bhelrath the Flayed King

Hello all, Tuz here!

Figuring that I might be left having to recover a bit from my surgery, I put some money asside to commission additional art for the coming updates. But one of the things I commissioned was a voice commission by a fellow content creator Shiaides.

I had the idea to offer readings of the featured lore of my monsters for a while now. This is simply to test the waters to see if there is i...

Lamia (Basic Edition)

In my next entry of monster girl series of Player Character options, I present you the highly requested Lamia!

As always, QueenChikkibug provided the artwork for this entry - so if you like the art, go check her out (beware, NSFW ahead)! :D

If you enjoy the Lamia, consider becoming a patreon and get access to the Lamia Premium Editio...

Health Updates, General Updates & Holiday Greetings

Heya, to let you all know, I am doing fine and am currently recovering from surgery. I spent the weekend in the hospital and am now back home. Due to the nature of the surgery, my voice is still pretty roughed up from swelling of the area BUT according to the surgery report none of my vocal cords or nerves got damaged. So I expect to make a full recovery.

Still, I will use this time to take it slow until the holidays. But I want to let you all know that I am just blown away by the suppo...

Patreon Monster Rewards - November 2021 (and important notice!)

I know I am a bit late on these, but hey, at least they got posted before christmas, right?

Okay so regarding the notification: I will be on sick leave for this week and till christmas. I will be in the hospital for surgery and have to stay there for a few days. I will try to sneak a working laptop with me so maybe I can get some work done, but no promises.

Forgotten Foes: Garden Guardians

Okay, you might see that on the first page there is a gap of blank space. That is reserved for pretty filler art once I got more budget for this. I was considering doing a simple artwork for that part myself but that would have meant more delays for something that ultimately is not that important.

I do have plans for once I go back to this project and fill out these spaces with pretty art. But until that day comes I will leave some more blank spaces as I work on this project. But for th...

Table Scraps - Graufeld

The second part of the patreon game monsters! This time our heroes chased the necromancers to haunted town of Graufeld to finally throw down with their long time enemy Hush. No longer are the necromancers one step ahead. The heroes finally caught up with them and it is time to put an end to their machinations!

Check out the vault to get the Table Scraps collection whe...

Lamia (5e)

Edit: The full premium edition has landed! Check out the additional feats, tokens, and artwork, this time my good friend Thrensfw helped me with getting the additional artwork!

Finally a new collaboration between QueenChikkibug and myself! I already put good work into the next monster girl inspired player race and commissioned Chikkibug for the art - so there will be much less of a gap between updates.

The public release (and base/premium edition split) w...

Table Scraps - Schauderwald

Yeah, that's right: a double feature!

This month in table scraps I am catching up on the many monsters that I specifically created for my patreon game. The last chapter of the campaign was all about werewolves, which was a great opportunity for me to use my preferred version of werewolves inspired by their 4e design.

Enjoy!

Forgotten Foes: The Aurmadil

I am still struggling to figure out an idea of how to name this new series of monsters. I might flip-flop between a few ideas so bear with me with the naming.

But yeah, I am really pleased with the quality of these new monsters. This might become a larger project.

Table Scraps: The Abandoned Homestead

Heya, so after feeling like my past idea to create Monster Based Magic Items did not hit the mark or gained that much interest, I went with another idea that can work better.

This iteration of Table Scraps features a kind of micro module. A location with lore, history, and some unique loot that you can squash into any of your games as you see fit! 

The main purpose for these micro modules would be for you to have your players run into these locations as a random curio on thei...

Update and Announcements

Hi hello, yeah October has been a very weird mix for me. As I said in a previous update, I wanna be transparent but I also don't want to yammer on too much about it. So here are the cliffnotes:

• I have been busy this month working on my contribution for the Gilroy's Guide to Fey Kickstarter 
• I also have been 2021-10-30 01:16:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Rogue Archetype: Saboteur

Edit: I absolutely missed the fact that Indesign swallowed a whole paragraph. I added the missing paragraph about rigging bombs. That should clarify this missing part! Sorry about this.

This took quite a long time for me to playtest and get right. But the subclass is in a really good place now and you might see now why it took me so long to get this right. Playtesting a subclass or class very very different from monsters, I tell you what.

I hope anyone that will play this will hav...

Gremlins! (A new 5e Player Race)

Play the literal gremlin that you always wanted!

Be a resourceful and cunning adventurer with a chip on your shoulder. As a Gremlin you will possess a unique sense for magic items as well as an knack for for tools and improvisation.

This player race was created in cooperation with Dansome and has been featured as "Fenlins" in his home game that I had the joy of playing in for several years now.

Enjoy!

Forgotten Foes: The Flayed Court

I have no idea if this is going to be a full series of mega dark souls inspired monsters and monarchs to go along with them. This was a long planned collab between me and Ben who provided the art like a prompt to me. There are a few more collabs like this planned. So stay tuned!

Further, consider checking out the LOBE archives for this entry as well!

Gremlins - 5e Player Race (Henchman Tier Release)

Hi! This is a project I have been very excited about for quite a bit. The original conception of this race in design, history, and attitude was penned by my friend Dansome and I helped him with making it a full fledged race!

Since this is a collaboration between me and my friend, I have plans on making this race public within the next few weeks, though the PDF and the Handouts will remain tier exclusive!

Maestro's Monstrous Arms - Displacer Beast

I am very excited about this release! Here are four more items from Maestro's workshop. As with the same update one of the artworks turned out quite weak, but alas, let us look forward towards new and fun projects!

Table Scraps - Trostland Terrors

This is a loose collection of original monsters that our heroes from the patreon game had to face over the course of the 2nd Chapter of their adventure path. Many of these monsters are adapted from the original pathfinder adventure path and you might piece together where these monsters are to be encountered in the adventure path.

- Tuz

Fearsome Foes - The Mourning Blade

This project certainly just grew and grew the more I worked on it and continued to defy deadlines that I had set for myself. The result though is one beast of an update. 1 monster, 4 legendary magic items, a whole subsystem of growth for a magic weapon and a whole bunch of lore as to be expected from the Mourning Blade!
