Druid Circle: Circle of Infestation

Howdy y’all, and happy Halloween! I had originally intended to do a trio of gruesome subclasses for this year’s spooky season project, but this month has been just one thing after another, so sadly most of my mental bandwidth has been dedicated to other things. But, I still had enough in me to get this Continue reading

Artificer Specialization: Brewkeeper

Hey folks! Hoped to have this out a lot sooner, but it’s been one of those months. Anyway, it’s here now, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It’s another Pathfinder prestige class conversion that I’ve had stashed away for a VERY long time, so it’s nice that I was finally able to Continue reading

The Dragon Staff of Maladoria – Session 2: Prologue – Part 2

I appear atop a grassy cliffside surrounded by mountains and dormant trees. The wind howls, and its chill cuts through my robes, sending a shiver through me. Below I can see the entrance to the Dragon Temple, my destination, and a perfect place to shelter from this frigid gale. But before I have the chance Continue reading

SCP Items: Batch III

Hey folks! Been a while since I’ve done any SCP content (almost a year, in fact), so I thought it was time for another batch of items. This has honestly been one of the most difficult sets to make so far. Some of the effects are just so out of left field and difficult to Continue reading

The Dragon Staff of Maladoria – Session 1: Prologue – Part 1

Hello everyone, and welcome to something a little bit different. For a long time, I’ve wanted to delve into solo RPGs, and while this isn’t exactly that in the traditional sense, it’s perhaps a decent starting point for someone new to such forms of TTRPGs. This is the Quest Calendar by Sundial Games, specifically the Continue reading

Roguish Archetype: Opportunist

Hey folks! This took an unreasonable amount of time to get done. I’ve returned to my roots for an easy project with a conversion of a Pathfinder prestige class. Writing it out was pretty simple, but it took forever to get with my brew buddy to get it looked at due to some unfortunate circumstances Continue reading

Transformation Cog 2024

Hey folks! Been sitting on this one for two weeks, done and ready, not wanting to release so close to the Behemoths and just reveling in the fact that for once I have a small stockpile of brews that are done/close to done. It’s nice to take a break and not worry about what’s next. Continue reading

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

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.
