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

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

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THIS SUBCLASS IS OUTDATED!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

Quick PSA

Hey all! Just a quick PSA for something I feel is important to consider before trying anything I post here. Unless otherwise specified, NONE OF MY CONTENT HAS BEEN PLAY TESTED. Very little of my content ever sees play just due to the nature of my own personal playgroup, and with how much content I Continue reading

Fighter Martial Archetype: Knight Protector

Got a Fighter archetype for y’all today. Another 3.5 conversion, this is the Knight Protector! While most default to a paladin for the classic “knight in shining armor”, this offers a non-diety based alternative. Continue reading

Medic

Introducing my non-magical Medic class! While working on a campaign I had a need for reworks of certain classesfor a non-magical setting. Not having much luck simply modifying thecleric, I decided to make one myself from scratch using a combination ofthe existing healing abilities in 5e and an emphasis keeping your partyalive rather than dealing Continue reading

Goo of Primordial Chaos

This was a fun project to work on. A bit of backstory for this monstrosity. Among our play group and friends there has always been some remnant of what was simply refereed to as “The Black Goo”. A friend of my Dungeon Master created it for his game but it was little more than a 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.
