The Yautja

Howdy all! Been a minute. Lots going on, lots of projects keeping me busy. Got another commission from one of my lovely patrons, rounding out a classic 80’s movie monster trio with none other than the Predator, or as they’re actually known, the Yautja. At 5 pages, it’s a bit more than one might expect. Continue reading

Xenomorphs

I’m not really sure where to start with this one. After many long months (more that it should have been but no matter) probably one of my favorite recent projects is finally done. A commission for one of my lovely patrons, I’ve had a blast working it. I’ve wanted to do something like this for Continue reading

Artifacts of the Lunar Heretic

Howdy all! Got another thing I’ve put together that I’m pretty excited about. A while back Risk of Rain 2 got it’s anniversary update and with it came the final 2 items in the Heresy Set. What makes these items so interesting is they actually replace your existing character abilities instead of giving you new Continue reading

Bard College: College of the DJ

Hey all! Sorry I haven’t been around much. Things have been…difficult lately. I’ve hardly been able to work on much of anything and this has probably been the worst slump I’ve ever been in. But, I’m back at it, in a better place, and got some stuff in the works for y’all. I wanted to Continue reading

Cleric Divine Domain: Mechanicus Domain

Now that all the crazyness of the last week is finally over, let’s get back to the brews, shall we? I started putting together a cleric domain based on the Adeptus Mechanicus from Warhammer 40K for a campaign I’m playing in but I ran out of time so I had to scrap the character. Its Continue reading

Variant: Mob Rules Revised

Got something a little different today. As part of a much larger project I’m working on, I put together a pretty major overhaul to the exiting mob rules in the DMG since they’re frankly pathetic. It’s a good piece to have as a solo brew so I thought I’d release it separately (and to have Continue reading

Roguish Archetype: Shadowblade

First brew of the new year! I’ve got another subclass for y’all. This was a request from one of you lovely folks to do Riki from DOTA 2. It’s been a fun one but he’s a bit of a weird conversion, at least in terms of lore. He’s referred to as the “Stealth Assassin” and Continue reading

Paladin Sacred Oath: Oath of Scars

Got another subclass I’ve put together in between the stresses of working on other enormous projects in an attempt at keeping the blog alive. That got a little dark… Any which way and how, this is a Pathfinder conversion, and a really neat one at that. Felt perfect for a paladin subclass but I had 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

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

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.
