About four years ago, I moved the JBE Blog here from the main JonBrazer.com. Reason was because I added the store to the main site, and it was clashing with the blog. It made life difficult to find the blog post you wanted to see. So the easy solution was to split the blog off into its own site. Fast forward to the start of this year. I decided to kill the… Read More
I mentioned in the PF 1e version of the Corrupted Spider that I have not made monsters in quite some time. So that is something I’m going to try to do for a while: make PF 1e and 2e versions of the same monster. This monster is obviously based on the hunting spider, but I increased the challenge rating and themed it to be more demonic. Tell us what you think in… Read More
Long-time JBE fans will know that I consider myself to be, first and foremost, a monster creator. Give me a piece of artwork of something new and unusual, and I’ll make you something to terrify your players with. I haven’t created a monster in quite some time.

I’m not going to tell you what’s in it; you can read it for yourself and see the direction they want to go. Personally, I like some things and I don’t like some things. But frankly, what I don’t like is such a minor quibble that it’s not worth mentioning…. Read More
The Book of Magic: Spell Codex Volume 2 was released earlier this week. We’ve shared several spells in the book already, like planned assault and conjure deadfall, as well as discussing the winners of the book. Something we hadn’t shared yet is the artwork within. Above is several images within. Mind you, they’re all black and white. That is not how they’re presented in the book. The white is transparent, letting the… Read More

Previously, we talked about how to make your adventuring party, how to create dungeons, and sending your adventurers into the dungeon in Camp Dungeon Crawl. Today, we’re going to talk about adventurers coming back to life and the bosses that live in a dungeon. As you move through the dungeons in the game, we introduce a number of additional rules to the game. The first is the ability to bring dead adventurers… Read More
