Web DM Talks How to Homebrew Monsters Like a Game Designer
Added 2021-06-23 21:00:02 +0000 UTCHello DMNs!
First up a quick announcement: tomorrow, we're gonna release the promo of the first 5 levels of our PSION class as an early Patreon exclusive. It'll be shared with the rest of the world on Monday. Enjoy!
Second, here's this week's main show! We're talking about designing homebrew monsters and how our approach has changed since we've kinda sorta become proper game designers! We've designed a few dozen monsters for books in the last year or so, and so we thought it deserved an update!
Description:
If you're a dungeon master, you've probably made some homebrew monsters! We've talked about it before, but since then we've designed DOZENS for many books, and we've learned a thing or two! Here's all the best game design advice we have for making your own monsters at the table for D&D and TTRPG. Our Kickstarter for Worlds of Web DM: Weird Wastelands is LIVE NOW! Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
