Roguish Archetype: Opportunist

Hey folks! This took an unreasonable amount of time to get done. I’ve returned to my roots for an easy project with a conversion of a Pathfinder prestige class. Writing it out was pretty simple, but it took forever to get with my brew buddy to get it looked at due to some unfortunate circumstances… Continue reading

Transformation Cog 2024

Hey folks! Been sitting on this one for two weeks, done and ready, not wanting to release so close to the Behemoths and just reveling in the fact that for once I have a small stockpile of brews that are done/close to done. It’s nice to take a break and not worry about what’s next.… Continue reading

Behemoths

Hey folks! It took WAY too long to get this out, but it’s finally done. Well, technically it isn’t done, but I’ll get to that in a bit. One weird thing that needs explanation at a time. So, as one can tell, I didn’t just make statblocks for the behemoths, write some lore, and call… Continue reading

Slayer’s Arsenal II

Hey folks! I’m back with a short brew today that came together surprisingly quickly. This is the second part to my Dauntless series I’ve been calling the Slayer’s Arsenal. This one includes a rework of the Aether Lanterns, as well as the various consumable equipment such as the Pylons, Tonics, and Grenades. These were a… Continue reading

Flesh & Bone 2023

Happy Halloween everyone! It is with immense pleasure and excitement that I present to you a labor of love, the long awaited rework of Flesh & Bone! Originally, I had intended to release this shortly after the absolutely stellar remake of Dead Space, but that obviously wasn’t going to happen. So as to not repeat… Continue reading

Happy 5-Year Anniversary!

Hey folks! 5 years ago to the day I posted my first ever homebrew creation for the masses to enjoy (or ruthlessly tear apart), a little brew I lovingly called The Goo of Primordial Chaos. It would be fitting to have gone and reworked it for such an occasion (it certainly needs it), but alas,… Continue reading

SCP Items: Batch II

Surprise! Have some more SCP items! I was taking the month off after feeling burnt out, but I had an itch to work on some more of these toward the end. And I gotta say, this was a really fun batch to work on and was a nice change of pace from my other big… Continue reading

Bard College: College of Metal

Finally, was starting to think I’d never get anything released! Y’all ready to ROCK?! Now, just to get this out of the way, I was really hoping to have something else done for y’all by now, that thing being the update to Flesh and Bone I mentioned in my last update post. Mechanically, it’s done… Continue reading

System Spotlight: Ironsworn

Hello everyone, and welcome to my first ever System Spotlight! Before we begin, let me explain a little about what this is and what to expect. This is a series I’ve wanted to do for a while where I talk about RPGs other than D&D, their mechanics, and my overall thoughts on them. There are… 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.
