Power Loader Armor MkII

Hey gang! Got another thing for y’all, this time for a particularly special item. Now, I’ve posted a lot of Risk of Rain stuff before but I’ve wanted to take a crack at converting the survivors. Problem is, RoR is a REALLY sci-fi setting so doing a straight conversion seemed like a bad idea, or Continue reading

Barbarian Primal Path: Path of the Cannibal

Hey all! Nothing fancy today, just a nice and simple barbarian subclass. I’ve got a lot on my plate at the moment with a couple commissions and general life shenanigans so I wanted something easy I could put together quickly. Made this for a friend of mine and have been sitting on it for several Continue reading

Flesh & Bone 2020

It’s that time again! Hallows Eve is upon us and that means a new spooky project! Ok, that’s about all the excitement I can muster right now because this month has been total garbage and the project was a real pain from start to finish. October blindsided me and I had nothing planned for this 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

Artificer Specialization: Prototypist

Finally got this thing finished! My first artificer subclass and another Warframe conversion, Protea this time, I really like how it turned out. I love Protea as a warframe and thought she would be perfect as an artificer. Lots of cool tools at her disposal, and she’s got the capacity for some really great damage Continue reading

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

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

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.
