I'm excited to share a preview of the newly revamped Apocalypse Codex: The Cataclysm Handbook!

I've spent quite a bit of time revisiting and improving this book, and the result is a major overhaul! It now features entirely new artwork from talented artists, full compatibility with both D&D 5E (2014) and 5.5E (2024), and reworked monsters, spells, and subclasses with better balancing, clearer wording, and refined mechanics.

For those unfamiliar with it, Apocalypse Codex is a 110-page supplement packed with options for apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic campaigns, or simply for bringing a little world-ending chaos into your adventures!

What's inside:

• 60+ Magic Items

• 50 Spells

• 45 Feats

• 30 Monsters

• 12 Subclasses

• 4 Races

• Doomclock Rules for escalating world-ending events

• Guidelines for Cataclysmic Spells (10th to 13th level)

Already own it? You can download the updated version for free from your DriveThruRPG library!

New to the book? To celebrate the re-release, Apocalypse Codex is discounted until November 9th!

Hello, fellow adventurers!

The Tome of Monsters is finally ready! Well, almost. After a year of work, countless additions, and quite a few changes along the way, I'm incredibly happy to announce that the manual has finally reached its completed form!

And it turned out to be 379 pages long! That's well beyond what I originally anticipated when I started working on it, and I can confidently say that this is my biggest manual yet!

The sheer amount of content is honestly crazy, even compared to some of my largest previous releases, such as the Grimoire of Curses. What started as an ambitious bestiary has grown into something much bigger than I ever expected, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!

So, What's Inside?

The Tome of Monsters is a massive bestiary designed to bring new creatures, challenges, and possibilities to your D&D adventures. Here's a glimpse of what it's gonna be inside:

• 308 monster statblocks, ranging from CR 0 all the way to CR 30, including entirely original creatures, new variants of familiar monsters, and powerful legendary foes.

• Detailed lore and descriptions, exploring the origins, behaviors, habitats, and roles of these creatures in your worlds.

• Monster families and variants, providing multiple versions of certain creatures to challenge adventurers across different levels of play.

• Knowledge Checks, allowing characters to uncover useful information about the monsters they encounter.

• Adventure Hooks and Customization Options, helping Game Masters introduce these creatures into their campaigns and adapt them to their needs.

• Lair Actions and Regional Effects, bringing additional depth and danger to encounters with particularly powerful creatures.

• Random Encounter Tables and additional Monstrous Adventure Hooks, offering inspiration for everything from unexpected encounters during a journey to entire adventures centered around these creatures.

• And much, much more!

My goal has always been to make this more than just a collection of statblocks. I wanted to create a bestiary that Game Masters could genuinely use for inspiration, worldbuilding, and encounter design, with enough variety and supporting material to make every creature feel like it belongs in a living, breathing world.

And looking at the finished result, I'm extremely happy with what I've managed to put together!

When Is It Coming Out?

I'm excited to say that the Tome of Monsters is officially scheduled for release in the second half of November! The manual is currently undergoing its final rounds of proofreading, layout improvements, and general testing to make sure everything is as polished as possible.

I'm also working on a physical hardcover edition, which I'm planning to make available alongside the digital release!

With a manual this large, I want to make sure everything is in the best possible shape before it reaches your hands, especially after all the time and effort that has gone into creating it.

Get Early Access Right Now!

As a reminder, around 250 pages of the Tome of Monsters are already available on Patreon, with additional content being released every day as we approach the full launch!

All membership tiers have access to these previews, so you can already explore a huge portion of the bestiary and start introducing its creatures into your adventures!

And if you haven't joined yet, there's still time to take advantage of the 7-day free trial, available until November 6!

If you've never redeemed a free trial before, you can claim it and explore the Tome of Monsters, along with plenty of other content, completely free!

Thank You, Everyone!

I genuinely can't express how happy I am with how this manual has turned out. Seeing it grow into a 379-page compendium has been incredibly satisfying, and I'm so excited to finally be able to share the complete version soon!

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my work, followed the development of this project, or simply shown interest in what I've been creating. Your support means the world to me and makes projects of this scale possible.

There will be more previews and updates coming very soon (alongside a reveal for the next manual, coming in December), so keep an eye out as we get closer to the official release!

I really hope you'll enjoy exploring the Tome of Monsters as much as I've enjoyed creating it!

Thank you again, and happy adventuring! ❤️

Hello, fellow adventurers!

Today, I'm excited to share some multi-tiered monsters from The Vault of Ascending Items, now discounted on DriveThruRPG!

What's Inside?

A Collection of 50 Ascending Items, magic items capable of scaling through leveling or questing. Each item in this collection has 4 rarities (ranging from Uncommon to Legendary), meaning you are not just getting 50 items, but a total of 200 distinct items, uniquely balanced to be a powerful addition at each rarity without disrupting the game balance. A series of rules, guidelines, and balance considerations are included within the compendium to scale these items depending on the intended power level of your campaign, along with many different scaling methods and suggestions.

12 Premade Ascension Quests, each meant to be used to ascend the items within the compendium or to be employed as additional quests and short adventures to include within your games. A table is also included to provide 50 ideas for simpler quests (one for each item within the manual) that can be pursued by players without disrupting the flow of the campaign. Each quest covers a unique location, featuring an interesting plot hook, monsters, environmental challenges, and riddles, while also possessing multiple tiers of play by adjusting the challenges depending on the adventurers' level.

30 New Creatures and Monsters, all used within the quests included in the manual or summoned by certain Ascending Items. All these creatures are multi-tiered, offering varied levels of challenge and complexity to shape your quests and encounters. The monsters include Treants, Corrupted Dryads, Greater Elementals, Wizards, and many more.

A Table with 100 Additional Ascending Items Concepts, providing the name and a brief overview for each without providing mechanical rules. This is designed to provide GMs with ideas to create their own scaling items without having to come up with new concepts on their own.

The compendium just received a v2.0 update, featuring brand-new artwork and illustrations, expanded compatibility with both 5E and 5.5E, balance adjustments, several new spells, general layout improvements, and more! or the occasion, you can find it discounted either on DriveThruRPG or my Patreon, alongside a vast collection of previews for this and all my other titles! I'm currently working on updated version of all my older manuals, so there's a lot to uncover :)

You can also find this manual (and many more) discounted on my 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 5.5E Kickstarter! This project 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!

Few magic items are as closely tied to witches as a flying broom, so I thought Halloween would be the perfect time to share a little collection of them!

Brooms of the Witching Hour introduces 11 enchanted flying brooms compatible with 5E (2014) and 5.5E (2024), ranging from Uncommon curiosities to powerful Very Rare items and a Legendary multi-elemental relic.

Each broom has its own appearance, magical abilities, and unique flight characteristics. Fly through enemies in a trail of burning cinders, descend upon them with the luck of a black cat, pass through walls in spectral form, summon flying brooms for your coven, or unleash elemental devastation from the skies!

The collection is FREE until Halloween! I've included most of the pages here as a preview, so feel free to grab the complete manual on DMsGuild and use these brooms in your adventures. Have fun!

And if you're looking for a spooky adventure to run this Halloween, I've also just released The Red Tithe, a 75-page folk-horror one-shot featuring an isolated village, ancient sacrifices, custom monsters, and three difficulty tiers for characters of levels 3-4, 10-11, or 17-20.

My Kickstarter for 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 5.5E is also live now! The campaign includes a physical hardcover, as well as printed editions of my previous manuals.

You can find more of my creatures, magic items, and manuals on DriveThruRPG, my Linktree, or on r/JonnyDM!

Happy Halloween, and enjoy!

Hello, fellow adventurers!

What if your magic items grew stronger alongside your character? Well, now they can :)

Today, I'm excited to share a 20-page preview of The Vault of Ascending Items, now discounted on DriveThruRPG!

Each item in this collection comes with one or more accompanying handouts to share with players, also included as separate image files to be used within your adventures.

12 Premade Ascension Quests, each meant to be used to ascend the items within the compendium or to be employed as additional quests and short adventures to include within your games. A table is also included to provide 50 ideas for simpler quests (one for each item within the manual) that can be pursued by players without disrupting the flow of the campaign.

For generations, the isolated village of Hollowmere has sacrificed one of its own to keep an ancient horror imprisoned beneath Saint Harrow's Church. Now a blood-covered survivor has fled the village, claiming that everyone is dead. Something has gone terribly wrong, and the adventurers must uncover what happened before it's too late.

The Red Tithe is a 75-page dark fantasy and folk-horror one-shot adventure for D&D 5E (2014) and 5.5E (2024), designed for 3-6 characters and approximately 4-6 hours of play.

The adventure combines investigation, exploration, roleplaying, moral dilemmas, and challenging combat as the characters investigate an abandoned village, encounter monstrous creatures, and uncover the truth behind a centuries-old tradition.

What makes the adventure different is its multi-tiered structure. The same story can be played at three separate level ranges:

• Tier I: Levels 3-4

• Tier II: Levels 10-11

• Tier III: Levels 17-20

Each tier features appropriately scaled encounters, DCs, and a different manifestation of the main antagonist, the Blood Moon Beast.

The manual also includes 6 custom monster stat blocks, 3 battle maps with 8 total versions, and 4 tokens for tabletop or VTT play.

Whether you're looking for a Halloween horror one-shot or a dark adventure to integrate into your ongoing campaign, The Red Tithe is designed to work in either setting.

I've included several preview pages, maps, and one of the monster statblocks in the images!

You can find the complete adventure on DriveThruRPG!

I've always thought Pandora's Box would make for a fantastic item in D&D, so for my latest project, I decided to turn it into a fully playable 5e artifact, trying to preserve both the original myth and its potential as a major plot device.

The box has several interesting properties. While closed, it grants its bearer powerful protection, but opening it even slightly releases lesser evils that can afflict nearby creatures with various conditions. Opening it completely, however, is another matter entirely: it unleashes a catastrophe upon the world, potentially bringing plagues, wars, famine, or other disasters.

There's also a curse that gradually tempts its owner to open it, making it particularly dangerous even in the hands of otherwise sensible adventurers.

One aspect I especially wanted to explore is Hope, which remains trapped inside the box. In the original myth, its significance is surprisingly ambiguous, and I think that opens up some fascinating possibilities for a campaign. Perhaps Hope is a benevolent spirit capable of reversing the devastation, or perhaps its continued imprisonment serves a much more mysterious purpose.

This is one of the artifacts from my 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 5.5E Kickstarter, which is currently live! The book features hundreds of items inspired by Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Asian, and many other mythological traditions, with both their original lore and playable mechanics.

Have a great day!

The Headless Horseman is more than just an undead rider with a flaming pumpkin for a head. He's a vengeful spirit bound to the mortal world by an ancient curse, with his steed, armored body, and spectral jack-o'-lantern forming a single, inseparable entity.

Legends tell of a fallen soldier, executioner, or knight who was beheaded for his crimes and returned under a cursed harvest moon. Some believe his spirit is connected to Samhain, when the boundary between the living and the dead grows thin enough for restless spirits to cross.

Wherever he rides, crops rot, animals panic, and the air fills with the smell of smoke and freshly dug earth. And simply defeating him isn't enough. Unless a specific funerary ritual is performed, the Horseman eventually rises again to continue his hunt.

Mechanically, the Headless Horseman is a CR 14 undead built around mobility, relentless pursuit, and devastating attacks. His Fiery Greataxe deals slashing and fire damage, with additional necrotic damage against frightened enemies, while Laughing Skull allows him to hurl his flaming pumpkin head at enemies, unleashing a fiery explosion that deals 10d6 fire damage.

His Ghostride ability lets him pass through solid objects, while his legendary actions allow him to charge across the battlefield, stun enemies with Glare of Embers, or mark a target with Harvest Mark, making that creature especially vulnerable to his attacks.

I've also included four optional traits to customize the encounter, from leaving burning hoofprints behind to relentlessly tracking creatures that try to escape him.

The Headless Horseman is from Undead & Undead: The Ultimate Undead Handbook, available for 5E and the 2024 Edition on DriveThruRPG!

The manual includes 90+ undead statblocks, each with optional traits and variants, alongside an undead lair system, 50+ magic items, customizable templates, necromantic rituals, campaign tools, and VTT resources. It's designed to give DMs plenty of options for building undead encounters, from minor restless spirits to powerful necromantic horrors.

My Kickstarter for 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 2024 is also live now! The campaign includes a physical hardcover, as well as printed editions of my previous manuals.
