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

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

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

Druid Circle: Circle of Mischief

Howdy everyone! Sorry it’s been a while. I’ve actually been super busy with a MASSIVE project with a one of my DMs reworking and converting his janky homebrewed campaign setting into something more user friendly and before anyone asks, yes we are planning to release it as a full “book”, something akin to Eberron. We… 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.
