Earlier this week, we showed off a monster that a druid or wizard can summon with the conjure minor elemental spell. I really like that monster, but there’s something I have been wondering about with the artwork: the style. It is a beautiful color image. The problem is is that I don’t have a massive library of color images. I have a much larger library of black and white image. So as… Read More
Last year, I had a series of blog posts that shared all the conjurable creatures in the 5e MM and I noticed that it was a rather thin selection. I decided to do something about that, seeing as how summoning monsters is something I enjoy doing. I’ve been working for the last few months when I have time (both seconds) on increasing that number. Today I thought I would share with you… Read More
Everyone at loves us some 13th Age. Richard Moore, our resident 13th Age expert, has committed more than once that there are some classic spell options missing from 13th Age and that is one we set out to correct when we started the 13 Class Options series. This is not the first in the series. We started off the first with 13 Fighter Talents and Maneuvers. We are so glad that 13th… Read More
Continuing our series of monsters released every Wednesday, we bring you one this week from our latest adventure—Deadly Delves: The Dragon’s Dream. This one is an aquatic blog of swamp mater that is worshipped as a god, where it gets its name from. This monster first appeared in our exceptional collection of high level monsters—Book of Beasts: Legendary Foes. Its original inspiration is from the Lovecraft story Call of Cthulhu where there… Read More
Enter the Dragon’s Dream! When workers on an archaeological expedition unearth a dragon’s skull, the entire dig crew disappears soon thereafter. Their patron Count Larom seeks adventurers to find out what happened to his employees. Since the workers’ disappearance, strange and terrible songs have been heard coming from the vicinity of the excavation. What dangerous magic has their tampering unleashed—and why have guardians of the realm of the dead suddenly taken such… Read More
On Tuesday, Deadly Delves: The Dragon’s Dream will be available for download and we couldn’t be more excited. This 16th level adventure is the perfect jumping off point to a planar adventure as you enter a demiplane composed of an old crypt dragon’s dream. Naturally, you start off with a normal enough location in the material plane, but the players find their way to a more exotic location. That exotic location is… Read More
I know it has been a while since we posted a monster on Wednesday. So we are making up for it by scheduling a number of Wednesday monsters and having them ready to go for a while. For this week’s monster we bring you one from our adventure Deadly Delves: The Chaosfire Incursion. This undead horror is known as a pyroclastic wight. Formed when a creature is killed instantly by the wave… Read More
Last year, we asked what levels need more adventures. While we are working on adventures, we are starting to plan our player options. Tell us what you want to see and share with us your ideas as to what you want to see in the comments below, and be sure to check out what we already have in the JBE Shop. [poll id=”3″]
A few hours ago, the public playtest of Pathfinder Second Edition was announced. My guess was always the Gen Con 4 years after the launch of Pathfinder Unchained, which looks to be spot on (2 years to gather feedback from that book, 2 years to incorporate). My second clue that I was on the right track was when the point person on several of the RPG books was given to James Jacobs,… Read More
Last week, we shared with you a new cleric domain we have been working on. This week, I want to share with you a new fighter archetype. Long time fans of Jon Brazer Enterprises will know that I am a fan of the Plane of Shadows, or Shadowsfall as I call it. A place that has been darkened, where hope is a single candle in the night. Here heroes are those that… Read More
