Behemoths

Hey folks! It took WAY too long to get this out, but it’s finally done. Well, technically it isn’t done, but I’ll get to that in a bit. One weird thing that needs explanation at a time. So, as one can tell, I didn’t just make statblocks for the behemoths, write some lore, and call Continue reading

Slayer’s Arsenal II

Hey folks! I’m back with a short brew today that came together surprisingly quickly. This is the second part to my Dauntless series I’ve been calling the Slayer’s Arsenal. This one includes a rework of the Aether Lanterns, as well as the various consumable equipment such as the Pylons, Tonics, and Grenades. These were a Continue reading

Slayer’s Arsenal

Hey folks! Got another rework for y’all today and this one is a doozy. After my last brew, I’ve been wanting to go back and look at some of my ancient stuff. And out of everything I could have picked to work on, I figured my old Dauntless stuff was in the most dire need Continue reading

SCP Items: Batch I

Howdy all! Been a bit. So, remember those SCP items I did a while back? They actually did quite well and I had a lot of fun working on them. Well, I intended on doing a whole lot more of them, like what I’ve been doing with the Risk of Rain items. Do a batch Continue reading

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

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

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

Risk of Rain Items: Batch I

A friend gifted me a copy of Risk of Rain 2 a while back and the entire time I played I just kept converting all of its random items to dnd in my head on the fly so I figured I might as well just put ‘em to paper. So here’s the first batch with 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

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.
