Four Magic Items

Originally intended for use in the Ultraviolet Grasslands
Many refer to usage dice. Ud10 means with each use, roll a d10. If you roll a 1 or 2 on the indicated die, downgrade the usage dice as follows:
Ud20 > Ud12 > Ud10 > Ud8 > Ud6 > Ud4 > Depleted

Darkeye Beans (Ud10 or 1d6+8 beans)

These violet-tinted beans are grow in shaded crevices. Their pale flower bloom with a slight glow on the darkest nights. When dried and consumed, bright becomes dark and dark becomes bright for 1d4 hours per bean consumed, to a maximum of three. Torchlights shrouds an area and daylight is pitch-black.

Free Fonts for RPGs

For the first time, I'm working on a more professional layout for an adventure I've written. Part of this is choosing fonts. I've asked around a few friends and places, and here is a list I've compiled, in no particular order. It helps me to see these all in one place, I hope it helps you! Thank you to everyone on twitter and various discord servers who provided these suggestions. I've used my favorite A-Z pangram , " Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow". I've chosen not to include two fonts recommended through the "Adobe Creative Cloud" because fuck that noise: Givry, a light blackletter, and OFL Sorts Mill Goudy, a regular serif. These fonts are all free for commercial use. They are suited for body text, with a few listed exceptions. Many of these fonts have additional weights not depicted, I encourage you to follow links for more info. Cormorant Garamond by Christian Thalmann Cormorant Garamond has many different weights.

[5E] Module: Toothache

Having just completed their last adventure, a wandering half-elf merchant named Vaseron catches up to the party, asking for help. His friend Godwin, the blacksmith of Oakhurst, told him that the village has had a plague of missing teeth. Vaseron will continue on, but will describe the small path that can be taken to Oakhurst. Oakhurst Oakhurst is small village, no more than a few dozen in the village proper. It has wooden walls and two gates carved in an elven style. The village has a handful of homes, a blacksmith, a market square, and a blacksmith. Almost everyone is missing at least one tooth, many are missing even more. At night, the gates are guarded at night by Zora and the frequently sleeping old man Greelish, watching for thieves passing through. They wear common clothes or leathers, and wield quarterstaves. They will check bags for missing teeth, though they are under orders to deny this, as well as the prupose of their watch. They will refer the party to Balthazar if pre...

[5e] Items from Princecon 44

This last weekend I had the honor and pleasure of running for about 16 hours at Princecon 44 , one in a series of incredible weekend long 100+ player shared world D&D marathons. One of the most distinctive elements is usually the goofy magic items, and these are some of the sillier ones I came up with. Another key item I made was a series of viral magical fungi, which will feature in a separate blog post. Party Favors Doubling trumpet: Flanged brass horn the size of a torso. Echoes sounds from a paired receiver in the form of an Iron ring filled with a mesh screen. Feedback loop creates 2d12 thunder damage in a 60’ radius after a turn, destroying the horn. Endurance Drums: While these drums are being played, constant physical activity grants immunity to exhaustion effects within 60’ Wurm’s Calabash: Smoking out of this purple ivory pipe as a bonus action creates smoke illusions controlled at will. 5’ diameter, 30’ range, each turn 1 in 2 chance of dissipation.
