Rules for Crafting Scrolls and Potions for D&D 5e Scrivening The art of putting usable magic to paper, or scrivening, allows adventuring casters to conserve their energies. With a small handful of exceptions, these scrolls are usually not meant for the eyes of...
Opportunity Attacks revisited
Opportunity attacks in 5e, in my humble opinion, make combat boring. Disengaging to avoid an Attack of Opportunity (AoO) sacrifices your own action but leaves the enemy’s in-tact, making it one of the worst trades in the game. While the mechanic can create tense...
Super Quick Combat Rules
Quick preamble: this is probably system agnostic on some level, but I designed it for 5e. 5e’s design assumes you’re having probably way, way more combat encounters than you actually are, and that you’re playing long enough and quickly enough to resolve those...

Monster Cards
Snapback Wizards, Lizards, and Wizard Lizards use the common Spapback as a sort of guard dog. They're not meant to kill people, but they can. Rather, they're meant to hold intruders in place until someone in charge can come deal with them. Bahk-bock These tiny fey...
The Glass Wyrm

The Archfey – Player Options for Warlocks (Patreon Exclusive)
We interrupt the normal flow of comics to show y'all our latest Splatbook, "The Archfey." This is part of a small series we'll be doing that revisits the D&D 5e warlock and attempts to give the class more of a thematic feel while maintaining it's high degree of...
Nightingale
The polls are still open about what happens next in the comic. In the meantime, Zach is catching up on Kickstarter art, and I'll be sharing more of The Arcana Check. This week, we've got the Nightingale, a caster-rogue that ferrets out evil. Nightingales have bonuses...
Power Chord: Kill
Zach is under the weather and the page we're working on has some structural problems that just aren't getting solved today, so I'm going to go ahead and platform this week's Arcana Check, and open that puppy up to the public. I am especially fond of this one, and I'm...
