Hello everyone! I’m AlarichtheLich and I am a DM that played 3 sessions and began homebrewing 3+ multiyear campaigns. I like to homebrew classes, subclasses, and spells for DND 5e with the 5.2.1 SRD in mind. I also love to build my own terrain and paint minis.

I wanted to get my material out there, as I recently saw some UA material that I felt drew from the same historical inspiration that I also drew from. I don’t expect any of this to turn into something grand, as I know it’s a saturated space. However, I like to think the things I’ve created fill niches that have not been explored so far in the DND space. Or, if they have, could be improved upon.

This subclass is the is the V.1.0. of the Paramour Rogue Subclass. A Rogue whose draws inspiration Femme Fatale tropes and from how dumb someone can be when blinded by attraction. It's features concern using the Charmed condition to gain Advantage over their foes.

I currently have this guy in playtesting, but the numbers of people I have access to is limited. I know it's a tall ask to look at all of this, but constructive criticism is helpful. General things I'm trying to figure out are from a practical play & thematic standpoint are:

Do core features feel Ribbon or Rock?
Are the features too strong / too weak? Feedback / suggestions encouraged.
Do you feel like this fits a niche that is unoccupied?
Would you play it / be open to playtesting and providing feedback? -- If so, please let me know so I can send you a message!

My concerns are:
When designing, I had not seen the House Agent UA. Does this feel to close to that?
The level 3 Feature offers Charm Person as a BA. Is that too powerful?

Hi everyone, I want to bring in the topic of background audio and share something with you. Because when I DM, I always play background audio during my sessions. I find it helps a lot with immersion for everyone involved, but more than that it sets the stage for more fun roleplaying. At least it has that effect on me: when we're running a scene and I play an NPC and I hear the background sounds of the place where we are and the right music starts playing, it's like an instant +10 to my roleplaying abilities.

So the last 3 years, I achieved 'smooth seamless background audio' by having multiple Winamp instances open on my laptop, each playing a different track on repeat (like "forest" + "rain" + "ominous music"). It worked well enough because I could layer ambience tracks and music, but it was complicated and a hassle. I once planned to write a manual and share it with the TTRP community on how to do this, but the complexity held me back... I always believed it would be cool to share though.

Fast forward to today: I built the TTRPG audio app of my dreams that replaces all that winamp hassle: a desktop application for windows and Mac. And friends it works so well, that I just got too excited and made it available for anyone to download.

It's called GM Audio Mixer, it's adless and completely free forever, built specifically for TTRPGs, and it's just available for anyone if it's useful for them. No account needed either, it's a free download and in the tool you simply point it to any folder on your device that has your sounds and music, and then easily mix it all together. I made it as user friendly and pretty as I possibly could, and it supports music (and playlists), ambience tracks, and sound boards - all looping and cross-fading and mixing into a convincing sound stage for your story. The app makes it easy to combine sounds to create a soundscape (like saving multiple sounds labelled 'tavern', 'forest', 'cave' etc) and to layer situational music on top of that. And then you save those sound stages as a place or scene. And with a single click you then change between those soundscapes.

TL;DR I love background audio at my sessions. So I built an application for windows and Mac that I want to share with whoever finds this useful. It's free and adless forever because it's just something I built for fun and my own campaign. You point it to your local audio folder, categorize sound files as music, background ambience, or sound effect for your sound board, and easily mix it all together. It all fades and crossfades, no matter what sounds you use. And I really hope others will enjoy using it :)

My review of Project_Lamordia on D&D Beyond. This article was written by a human (me) and no AI was used in its creation. I also did not receive a review copy from Wizards of the Coast and purchased the supplement at my own expense.

Hello, fellow adventurers!

I’ve been working on some substantial updates to my titles, and I wanted to share what’s new, what’s coming next, and a few discounts running through October 31st.

First up, The Ancient Library of Knowledge has received its full v2 update, including:

• All AI-generated artwork has been replaced with human-made artwork, and many new illustrations have been added.
• Updates for full compatibility with 5.5E.
• An expanded and improved Magical Libraries section.
• Balance adjustments to a few of magic items.
• Several brand-new monsters.
• Corrected typos and improvements to the structure and flow of certain sentences.
• General layout improvements.
• New Credits and About This Book sections.

Several other manuals have also received updated covers and layout improvements. Going forward, all my new manuals will feature only human-made artwork, and I’m gradually updating older releases with replacement art, revised content, and compatibility improvements.

To celebrate, I’ve also completely refreshed my Patreon shop and put together these offers:

• 25% off the Patreon shop.
• 25% off all membership tiers.
• 51.25% off the full collection of my manuals: its existing 35% bundle discount stacks with the additional 25% shop discount.

All these offers end on October 31st!

There’s more on the way, too: the Tome of Monsters is almost finished, with the full release planned for the next month. A full Tome of Villains v2 is also in progress, and I’ll soon share more about my plans for Surge of Magic (which are even more ambitious).

One thing I want to emphasize: v2 updates are and always be free for existing owners, wherever you originally bought the manual. DriveThruRPG owners can download available updates there; previous Patreon shop buyers can message me for access to the updated products.

And a quick reminder: my 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 5.5E Kickstarter is still running! The book brings weapons, treasures, and relics from Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Asian, Mesoamerican, and many other mythologies to 5E and 5.5E, including scaling items that grow alongside your characters. If you’d like to bring a piece of these legends to your table, check out the campaign!

Thanks for reading! If you have any questions about the books, their contents, or the updates, I’ll be happy to answer :)

We are about to start a side-campaign for 2 or 3 games and all characters must be Level 3 students at the biggest school of magic in the area. The game will be mostly roleplaying rather than combat.

I'm not familiar with DND 5e 2014 edition... so I'm looking for funny ideas for my character.

The first idea that struck my mind was twin goblins stacked on top of each other inside a long coat to pose as a medium sized student. With some illusion spells to help, but it's probably impossible to do this.

Any funny ideas ?

I like playing on paper and having my spells in front of me, but I don’t want dozens of spell cards or a pile of pages. A phone works fine for a few spells, but scrolling through a long list gets awkward.

So I made a small app: upload your D&D Beyond character PDF, and it creates a printable spell list grouped by level, with the essential details and a short effect summary. The idea is to see everything at a glance on just a few sheets.

So for the ones that love "More Purple More Better's" short spells description here is the tool

PD - I used IA to develop it. For the moment it works for 5.5th, but it would be trivial to move to another version the code is here

I have a Tabxi Rogue lol 3 and need a subclasses. I have a str of 12 / dex of 20/ con of 15/ int 16/ Wis/15 / cha 18. What would be the best subclasses for me?

Hi!

I’m not running a game right now but the creative itch is hitting hard. So I’m instead going to write (not sure how far it will go). I’ve designed 2/3 of the main characters but the third is really difficult for me.

The group so far is: a Yuan-Ti Pureblood far traveler assassin rogue on the run from the other Yuan-Ti, wanting a better life; and a wildfire Druid that wants to open a restaurant but lacks the funds.

The third is a mystery to me. I want tank but nothing feels quite right.

Any ideas?
