Hey all!
Now that Vault of Terror is officially out, our next big release is set for next Friday, The Queen of the Shadows. I'm mid-way through drafting that and then I've got The Treasure and Awaken on the docket.
However, I haven't started putting together any ideas for late April yet. I'm thinking...
TIER 4! I'd like to some...

Hey folks!
First, if you saw the links to The Vault of Terror live today, that was a boo-boo. Those aren't supposed to appear until later this afternoon and Patreon wouldn't let me revert them back to drafts after they were live (damn you, Jack Conte!).
In the meantime, I'll be running The Vault of Horror today LIVE at GaryCon 2021 a...

On the contrary! I've brought on an additional staff member—Mr Benjamin Palmer of Adventures' Await fame—to create monsters for the DMDave brand. He's finishing up our monster book which should drop soon (at the very least, it'll be here at the start of next month).

Hey all!
Happy middle-of-March! In recent weeks, we've been pivoting more towards highly-polished, tight releases. So more quality less quantity, as it were. Anyways, this is everything that's currently in the works from us along with the current status on each. Keep in mind that this doesn't include other content that we might slip in as ...
2021-03-22 15:07:19 +0000 UTC View PostAt this point, I think it's safe to say that The Hand of the Eight is the bonafide winner of the "DMDave writes a comic" poll that I'm running.
But that got me thinking. While The Hand of the Eight is a great story and all, it's missing one thing: characters! So I need to come up with a band of adventurers to go through a...

Nacho Lazaro and I are teaming up to create a comic book based on my adventures. The only problem is... which story should it be? Below are a few options I'm kicking around. I'm interested to see which ones you all choose.

Hey all!
Got a helluva adventure that I'm adding super quick to the March slate. The premise is simple—what happens when a 1st-level party comes across a huge pile of gold and magic items?
The adventure starts with a fun dungeon romp. So I need some one word prompts.
Usual rules apply:
Big news everyone!
We're FINALLY adding Foundry files to our benefits. We're going to start with one of our most famous adventures, Kaldrfjell and start putting them out fairly regularly after that.
Here's how it will work:

So you voted for Dark Fantasy (with some Swashbuckling).
Then you voted for sixth level.
Then the DMG gave me a bunch of cool random results involving a cursed humanoid obsessed with bringing a loved one back to life who uses famine to cause chaos (and might be seeking revenge).
So I put this little mock-up together. Hope y'all...

I just wrapped up the draft on my GaryCon tournament module, Vault of Terror, which will debut in two weeks. In April, I plan on writing Awaken which will debut sometime in the early part of the month along with a bunch of other nifty Mystery Island content (BSM 15's theme).
But I need something to work on in the meantime. B...

Although I can't share what this means (yet), this is one of the biggest riddles that appears in the upcoming tournament module I'm writing for GaryCon XIII, The Vault of Terror.
So if you're the one who chose the word "bunnies", congratulations. You've frustrated hundreds of future players of this module. ;)

A big part of my job involves reading and analyzing adventures throughout the history of the game. As I'm starting to prepare my next module The Vault of Terror for GaryCon '21, I wanted to breakdown a similar module. So I chose Tomb of Horrors, the classic dungeon romp written by Gary himself waaay back in 1975 for Origins 1.&...
