The Thing

Oh my god it’s finally done! Several months of work and life nonsense getting in the way but I did it. A commission for one of my wonderful patrons, this has honestly been one of the most difficult projects I’ve ever worked on but it was well worth it. John Carpenter’s The Thing is a Continue reading

Gate Stones

Hey gang! Got a quick item post for you today. I wanted an item that would let one of my characters have a sort of mobile laboratory (they’re a Medic Alchemist with a mad scientist streak) and it sort of evolved into something a bit more complex. Think Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Mansion but an item and Continue reading

Druid Circle: Circle of Pestilence

Saryn, the greatest of plagues, is finally done. I actually had her bashed out mechanically a long time ago but had other projects. Hell, I ALWAYS have other projects but this was an easy one to put out. Continue reading

The Zurna

A couple months in the making, say hello to the Zurna, a group of beings from beyond the stars! This is my first foray into making races and ho boy was it quite the challenge. The majority of writing for races is like all lore stuff and that’s the hardest to do for me as 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

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

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.
