Xenomorphs

I’m not really sure where to start with this one. After many long months (more that it should have been but no matter) probably one of my favorite recent projects is finally done. A commission for one of my lovely patrons, I’ve had a blast working it. I’ve wanted to do something like this for Continue reading

Artifacts of the Lunar Heretic

Howdy all! Got another thing I’ve put together that I’m pretty excited about. A while back Risk of Rain 2 got it’s anniversary update and with it came the final 2 items in the Heresy Set. What makes these items so interesting is they actually replace your existing character abilities instead of giving you new Continue reading

Bard College: College of the DJ

Hey all! Sorry I haven’t been around much. Things have been…difficult lately. I’ve hardly been able to work on much of anything and this has probably been the worst slump I’ve ever been in. But, I’m back at it, in a better place, and got some stuff in the works for y’all. I wanted to Continue reading

Cleric Divine Domain: Mechanicus Domain

Now that all the crazyness of the last week is finally over, let’s get back to the brews, shall we? I started putting together a cleric domain based on the Adeptus Mechanicus from Warhammer 40K for a campaign I’m playing in but I ran out of time so I had to scrap the character. Its Continue reading

Roguish Archetype: Shadowblade

First brew of the new year! I’ve got another subclass for y’all. This was a request from one of you lovely folks to do Riki from DOTA 2. It’s been a fun one but he’s a bit of a weird conversion, at least in terms of lore. He’s referred to as the “Stealth Assassin” and Continue reading

Risk of Rain Items: Batch II

Aaaand here they are. Another batch of 10 RoR2 items for your enjoyment. This batch actually has some of my favorites from the game so that makes me happy. I’ve also been tinkering with some ideas for how to bring the survivors into D&D as well. The hella sci-fi nature of them makes a direct Continue reading

Optional Rule: Critical Damage Effects

Nothing special today, just a quick post. Friend of mine posted in our discord a super incomplete beginnings of a system for special effects on crits based on the damage so I went and ran with it. ————————————————————————————————— Whenever a creature suffers a critical hit or rolls a natural 1 on a saving throw against Continue reading

Risk of Rain Items: Batch I

A friend gifted me a copy of Risk of Rain 2 a while back and the entire time I played I just kept converting all of its random items to dnd in my head on the fly so I figured I might as well just put ‘em to paper. So here’s the first batch with Continue reading

Forge of the Damned

Well this one went from start to finish right quick! A magical weapon with the power to reanimate the dead and create monstrosities, I based it on the Devil Forgemasters from the Netflix Castlevania series (which is fucking awesome by the way). The actual capabilities of the Forgemasters aren’t exactly explained in any great detail Continue reading

Druid Circle: Circle of Mischief

Howdy everyone! Sorry it’s been a while. I’ve actually been super busy with a MASSIVE project with a one of my DMs reworking and converting his janky homebrewed campaign setting into something more user friendly and before anyone asks, yes we are planning to release it as a full “book”, something akin to Eberron. We 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.
