Optional Rule: Legacies

Got a fun one for y’all today! As has been the case for like 90% of my work lately, this is another commission from one of my lovely patrons. Bit of a story with this one. So basically the client is an author and in their books they have their own sort of version of Continue reading

Variant: Mob Rules Revised

Got something a little different today. As part of a much larger project I’m working on, I put together a pretty major overhaul to the exiting mob rules in the DMG since they’re frankly pathetic. It’s a good piece to have as a solo brew so I thought I’d release it separately (and to have Continue reading

Optional Rule: Critical Damage Effects

Nothing special today, just a quick post.

A Pair of Feats

This first feat was the answer to something that super bugs me about 5th Edition: a lack of Metamagic for other spellcasters. I mean I’m glad that they kept it at all and toned it down a bit but why limit it sorcerers? Any caster could take Metamagic feats back in the day and it Continue reading

About Me

Welcome to the Foundry! I’m Sam Johnson. I run the place.
I’ve been playing TTRPGs for over a decade and creating content for them for about half that time. While I primarily make content for 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, I hope to expand to other systems in the future. I’m a firm believer in making this hobby a place where all are welcome, supporting smaller creators, and in broadening one’s horizons by trying other RPGs whenever possible. There are thousands of games from talented people of all types that deserve more love, and I hope to shine a light on some hidden gems when I find them.
