Roguish Archetype: Sleepless Detective

Got another one today, this time for rogues! Another pathfinder conversion, this one is super cool to me, kind of a Harry Dresden meets Sherlock Holmes. I don’t particularly care for the Inquisitive out of Xanathar’s Guide so it’s nice to have this to use. Fun piece of lore while working on it, “Sleepless” isn’t Continue reading

Fighter Martial Archetype: Chevalier

“Our wake it is bursting right over the pier. The engines do carry this bold chevalier.” Sorry, I can’t help it. Anytime I hear “chevalier” I just think of Bay of Suvla by the Dreadnoughts. Fantastic shanty song. Anyway here’s another subclass for you! This actually used to be a prestige class for Pathfinder and Continue reading

Paladin Sacred Oath: Oath of Omniscience

And with this, I have now done one for every class! Another DOTA conversion, Omniknight does a pretty good job as your stereotypical paladin but all of his abilities are super solid. Would have fun playing this sort of “righteous hand of the gods” sort of character. Continue reading

Warlock Otherworldly Patron: Io the Wisp

So close to having all classes covered! This is Io, one of the Fundamentals from DOTA 2, as a patron. Io isn’t one of the more offensive heroes I guess but I like the idea of a more support based warlock. Continue reading

Awakener

It’s finally done! Requested by one of my lovely patrons, I have had an absolute blast working on this really interesting class. This is based on the awakeners from Brandon Sanderson’s Warbreaker novel who use their magical breath to bring objects to life. As per my usual modus operandi, I tried to stay as close Continue reading

Monastic Tradition: Way of the Mountain

Got another Warframe conversion today. This time we got Atlas, our own monolithic mountain from space. Figured he would be a good fit for monk since mountains are traditionally sort of at least monk-adjacent and the obvious Avatar style earth bending. Lot of fun with it regardless. Continue reading

Transformation Cog 2018

Hey all! This one kind of came out of nowhere. Had a spur of the moment idea for a friends campaign and wanted to make this for my character. For those who can’t tell just by the title, this thing is one giant transformers reference. In universe, its the organ that allows Cybertronians to scan Continue reading

Sorcerous Origin: Rage Mage

Finally got around to my favorite caster class! Got a classic today right up there with the “muscle wizard”, the Rage Mage. The whole concept is super interesting to me and I had fun converting it. Continue reading

Ostian Repeaters

These have recieved yet another rework and are now outdated! You can find the new version HERE! They’re finally done! And with them, I’ve now done all of the aether equipment from Dauntless. I’ve wanted to do these since before they were released into the actual game. And now that they are out, they are Continue reading

Barbarian Primal Path: Path of the Chromatic Dragon 2018

THIS SUBCLASS IS OUTDATED! You can find a new version HERE! Chroma, the elemental master enters the fray! Yes, we got another Warframe conversion and of one of my other favorites frames, Chroma! It took a while to really nail the feel of this one and in-game Chroma is pretty mechanic heavy so it was 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.
