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

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

Shinobi Prosthetics

Oh boy, this one has me excited! I have a huge love for prosthetics for some reason and ever since Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice came out I’ve wanted to bring this nifty little gadget into DnD. I like to think I’ve done the various tools justice in my conversion and now all I need is 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

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These have recieved yet another rework and are now outdated!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THIS SUBCLASS IS OUTDATED!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

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

Barbarian Primal Path: Firestorm Berserker

Have another 3.5 conversion today. Been tinkering with this one for a while. Since raging doesn’t work the way it use to, I had to do some mad tweaking to get the firestorm rage to work within 5e. I like to think I got it. 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

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.
