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

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

Paladin Sacred Oath: Oath of Nature

At last, the guardian of nature Oberon makes his appearance! Another Warframe conversion, a request by one on my patrons, I actually had a good amount of fun working on this one. His abilities have just enough depth to be interesting and working in the nature angle to an otherwise pretty standard paladin kit was Continue reading

SCP Items #005-#117

This brew has been reworked and is now outdated! You can find the new version HERE! It’s finally happened! I’m taking a crack at the wide weird world of the SCP Foundation and its bizarre menagerie of nonsense. I’ve been a sucker for all things SCP ever since I first heard of it years back. Continue reading

Cleric Divine Domain: Penance Domain

At last, the dark priest Harrow makes his appearance! That’s right, back to the Warframe conversions, and a cleric domain at that. A while back I realized I had only ever done a single domain so I figured I’d combined it with another Warframe post. Had a lot of fun with this one, converting his Continue reading

Warlock Otherworldly Patron: Death & Death’s Arsenal

Hey all! Today, I’ve got not one but TWO Death themed pieces for you. These were a request for someone for an NPC in their campaign that acts as an emissary of Death. Now, the original version of Death’s Arsenal was built to be rather overpowered but this one has been toned down considerably for Continue reading

Eximus Creatures 2019

This brew has been reworked and is now outdated! You can find the new version HERE! Oh boy, more monster stuff! Bit of a conversion, Warframe has a neat game thing with special elite enemies known as Eximus units. Always thought they were a cool bit of design and would make a good template for Continue reading

Hellbound: A Hellraiser Supplement

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! IT’S FINALLY DONE! Seriously, this project was way more intensive then I planned and it basically consumed my last 2 weeks. But here it is! It kind of all started with the random thought, as all my stuff does, “What if I made the box from Hellraiser an item.” Aaaand it kind of Continue reading

Aether Lanterns 2018

These have received a rework and are now outdated! You can find the new version HERE! I’m on a Dauntless kick! The lanterns you get are kind of mystical and have some cool abilities so I thought they’d make neat magical items. Although in the process of doing these I did get super mad that Continue reading

Bard College: College of Mourning

Here’s another 3.5 conversion! This one is super intriguing to me as a lover of bards and dead things, sort of a social paladin as far as their interaction with undead. I can’t help but be reminded of Mourner class from the Unhallowed game system who is pretty similar in both flavor and function. Hmm, 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.
