It's #Halloween, when people dress up in costumes and go in search of loot (treats).

That's what inspired today's D&D #homebrew creation.

More is always available at amethyst-dragon.com.

Enjoy!

#dnd #ttrpg #holiday #costume #disguise
Supernatural Disguise Kit Wondrous item, uncommon This appears to be a typical disguise kit, stocked with the usual assortment of cosmetics, hair dye, and small props that you can use to alter your appearance. Each object within the kit displays a faint green iridescence in bright light. When you use this kit to apply a disguise, which takes 1 minute, you can expend 1 charge from the kit to cast disguise self on yourself or on another humanoid. You determine the target's appearance. The spell's effects last for 8 hours or until the person disguised uses an action to end the spell. The Investigation skill DC to discern that a creature is disguised by this kit is 15. If you use the kit to magically disguise a creature as an undead humanoid, a lycanthrope, a hag, or a fey creature, the Investigation DC is 19. The kit has 7 charges. It regains 1 expended charge each day, 1 hour before sunset. Created by The Amethyst Dragon at amethyst-dragon.com.

A month ago my Patreon patrons got this spell. Now it's free for everyone.

The spell was inspired by my sacrificing of an hour and a half of my time to watch that "classic" 80s anti-D&D movie, Mazes and Monsters.

Older movies and media are sometimes #homebrew inspiration.

Each creature that is hostile to you that enters the area or begins its turn there must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or else it must immediately move outside the spell's area and can't enter it again until the start of its next turn.

Decided to do some throwback music listening and put on Bat out of Hell II.

I'm gonna have to listen to Bat out of Hell, too, as my brain has been mixing everything from both of those Meat Loaf albums into a single collection for years.

It shows a guy on a motorcycle flying downward through the air, with a giant bat and an angel sitting on what looks like the Chrysler building. Cover image of the Bat out of Hell album by Meat Loaf.

It may be after 2:30 am here, but I think waiting to take this out of the oven is worth it.

Yup, this big loaf of sourdough bread came out of the oven 10 minute ago.

I've got one teenager who *really* likes this stuff.

Experimentation pays off.

I recently modified my existing bread pudding recipe to include pumpkin and a pumpkin pie spice mix. 'Tis the season and all.

Pic taken while still warm, with simple vanilla glaze.

Pan is 10 inch diameter, 3 inches high.

A bit over a month ago, my Patreon subscribers got this D&D magic shield inspired by an idiom. It's now free for anyone to use.

#dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg #shield #dungeonsanddragons #homebrew
Image contains text describing a D&D magic item: Window of Opportunity Armor (shield), rare This shield is made from what appears to be three large, overlapping, transparent leaves supported on a thin wooden frame. Each 4-foot long, oblong piece is the inner layer of a window tree leaf, which has been magically reinforced and hardened. The leaves overlap to form a point at the bottom of the shield, and they make three points that spread upward. The shield weighs 2 pounds. The magic bound within this shield makes you alert and attentive to the briefest of opportunities for movement and attacking.</p> As a bonus action, you can move up to 15 feet. While doing this, you can move through the space of a Large or smaller creature without expending additional movement.</p> When a creature that is within 5 feet of you moves at least 5 feet&mdash;toward you, away from you, or still within your reach&mdash;you can use your reaction to make a single melee weapon or unarmed strike attack against that creature.

1 month ago, my patrons got this agricultural spell that can do the work of dozens of people. Now, it's free for anyone to use in their D&D 5e games.

Not all magic is meant for dangerous adventures.

Image contains a D&D spell description: Fantastical Harvest 3rd-level transmutation Casting Time:</strong> 1 minute Range:</strong> 30 feet Components:</strong> V, S, M (1 or more examples of ripe produce, which the spell consumes) Duration:</strong> Concentration, up to 1 hour You select a point you can see within range and call ripe produce to that location. Every type of ripe fruit, vegetable, grain, nut, and fungus that you used as material components, if within a 120-foot radius of the chosen location, is gently harvested and moved through the air to that location. The produce moves slowly and gently, 5 feet above the ground, until it reaches the chosen point. It is unable to cause damage to itself, or to creatures and objects in the area. It takes 1 hour for the produce from the far edges of the spell's area to reach the center. If the spell ends early, any produce that hasn't reached the point you selected falls harmlessly to the ground, which may damage the produce. Created by The Amethyst Dragon at amethyst-dragon.com.

My parents texted me this image of a big #caterpillar they found today, asking me to ID it. Turns out to be the larva of a cecropia moth, largest moth in North America.

Almost time for it to make a cocoon & stay that way until late spring/early summer.

I've still got Critmas in July going for my #Patron patrons, where they give me a single word and get a brand new D&D #homebrew in return.

This one was inspired by the word Polaris.

Image contains text describing a D&D magic item: Guiding Star Amulet Wondrous item, rare This amulet, shaped like a star with 7 points, is made from the metal of a meteorite that fell to ground in a far northern land. It is a dark grey in color in bright light but turns silvery and glows with very faint light in dim light or darkness. The amulet is 2 inches across and is 1/4 inch in thickness, and it hangs from a thin silver chain. You always know which direction is north. You can use the amulet to cast <em>find the path</em>, and you can do so again after the next sunset. Created by The Amethyst Dragon.

Image contains text describing a fantasy plant species. Window Tree Plant This species of tree is found in old growth forests, where it lives below the canopy of much taller trees. A window tree grows no more than 20 feet in height and has large, sturdy, oblong leaves that can reach up to 2 feet in width and 4 feet in length. The leaves are relatively thick. Harvested while still green, the leaves of the window tree can be dried flat in the sun for several weeks. Once dried, the outer layers of each leaf can be peeled away, revealing a stiff, transparent material with traces of leaf veining. This material is often secured in window frames, providing a barrier to the elements that allows in large amounts of light. These leaf windows can last up to 5 years before becoming clouded and flaking away. The leaves of the window tree are an affordable alternative to much more expensive glass windows.

This is the 2nd gift I've made for a patron for Critmas in July, inspired by a single word I was given: afterimage.

It's a point of interest a DM could use in their own setting.

#dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #illusion
Image contains text describing a location. Hall of Visitors Magical Point of Interest Entering the grand entrance hall to the palace, you find the space is lined on both sides by large, thick panes of glass, behind which are a large variety of people, most of them dressed in fine clothing, standing perfectly still. Next to one of them is an orange-furred cat, which is also motionless. As you gaze at the people, one of the figures nearest the entrance vanishes, and the others on that side of the hall step in that direction to fill in the space. Continuing onward toward the interior of the palace, you hear another person enter the hall behind you. The man, garbed in clothing suited for long hours on horseback, declares himself to be a messenger with an important missive for one of the queen's advisors. When you turn your attention back to reaching your destination within the palace, you witness a new person appear behind the glass on your right. It's the messenger. It's at this moment that, glancing to your left, you come face to face with yourself, standing motionless behind glass. Every detail of your appearance is there, from the pattern in the fabric of your clothing to the barely noticeable freckle on your left hand to the trace of your last meal that you didn't realize was visible on your chin. When you ask one of the palace attendants, you are told that the magic of the hall creates an illusion showing every creature that has passed through the palace entrance in the last 24 hours. Apparently there are some people who visit each day, entertained by the novelty of seeing themselves in a way that isn't a mirror. Created by The Amethyst Dragon.

First D&D #homebrew gift for Critmas in July 2025 is done.

A patron gave me a single word prompt for inspiration: construction

The result is this spell for gathering skilled laborers for a project.

#dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #critmas #xmas #inspired
Image contains a D&D spell description: Call to Construction 2nd-level enchantment Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self (5-mile radius) Components: V, S, M (a detailed drawing of a structure, which the spell consumes) Duration: Concentration, up to 8 hours You send out a summons for available laborers with the skills you require for creating a structure. You decide on the skills needed for your construction project. This spell can target those proficient with your choices from carpenters' tools, glassblowers' tools, leatherworkers' tools, masons' tools, weavers' tools, and woodcarvers' tools. Every humanoid within a 5-mile radius of you, if they are proficient with the desired tools and if they are not currently working on a project, feels drawn to your current location. Any such available laborers make their way to you, bringing the tools of their trade with them. When such a worker appears, they will offer their services for a fee that is reasonable for the area and for their skills. Created by The Amethyst Dragon at amethyst-dragon.com.

A month ago I made a set of magical crutches, because sometimes D&D characters end up with difficulty moving (due to player roleplaying choice or DMs using lingering injuries rules).

This is now free for people who aren't my Patreon patrons.

Image contains text describing a D&D magic item: Acrobatic Crutches Wondrous item, rare This is a matched pair of wooden crutches. The wood is very light in weight and stained a dark brown. The top of each is wrapped with quilted fabric. The surfaces of the crutches are easy to grip, even when wet with water or oil. Each crutch weighs 1 pound. When you use a single crutch to help you move, you do not have disadvantage on Acrobatics checks. When you use both crutches, you have advantage on Acrobatics checks. You can use one or both crutches in combat. Each is a simple melee weapon that is magical, has the Light and Finesse properties, and deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a hit. You have advantage on any ability checks or saving throws you make to prevent the crutches from being removed from your grasp. Created by The Amethyst Dragon at www.amethyst-dragon.com.

You can find all of the previous free, unique, nonmagical treasure items, for D&D and other TTRPGs, at amethyst-dragon.com (right-side column, 3/4 down the page).

#ttrpg #dnd #dnd5e #dungeonsanddragons #loot #bagpipe
Galahad's Grandfather's Bagpipes Treasure This set of bagpipes is made from ebony and the hide of a sheep. The pipes are decorated with braided ribbons of various colors, and patches and stitches on the bag show it has been skillfully repaired a dozen times. This musical instrument was last owned by Galahad Volfree, an adventurous paladin. Galahad was given the bagpipes by his father, who was given them by his father. The ribbons represent the heraldry of various lands that the bagpipes have been carried through over the years. Galahad was known to practice with the bagpipes at least once each day, often while he and his companions took time to rest after a long march or harsh battle. Unfortunately, Galahad possessed neither the coordination nor the talent to produce actual music with the instrument. One of Galahad's companions, a rogue named Gillian, did discover that her interrogations of bandits and other ne'er-do-wells progressed faster and with better results if she waited to do her questioning until Galahad started his after-battle music practice.

It is kept in a small, shallow, white ceramic pot filled with soil, pebbles, and bits of dark green moss. This living tree has been kept small through specialized methods of pruning, grafting, and needle trimming, along with specific amounts of sunlight, water, compost, and exposure to the outdoor elements. The has been kept by the Yamana family for at least 400 years. It has been passed down through the generations, with the younger generations always getting at least 10 years of training in how to properly care for the small, yellow tree.

Image contains text: Honeycomb Pendant Treasure This is an oval shaped pendant, inside of which is a honeycomb structure. The honeycomb is not perfectly smooth. The back of the pendant is polished and etched with words in Gnomish that translate as, "For my sweetest Honey." The pendant is about 1 1/2 inches tall, 1 inch wide, and 1/2 inch thick. It hangs on a leather cord and weighs 1/4 pound. This golden jewelry was commissioned by a gnome beekeeper named Mellifera Apis. The pendant was formed using real honeycomb in a jewelry making process called wax casting, which exactly reproduces the shape of whatever wax was used in a mold. Made as a gift for Mellifera's wife, Asali, this pendant was both a token of love and a reminder of an interest they both shared. The honeycomb pendant was stolen one night during a goblin raid on the couple's beehives. While fighting off the goblins, one of the raiders cut the pendant from the cord Asali wore it on.

Image contains text that reads: Hoo the Owlbear Treasure This stuffed animal toy is made to look like an owlbear by someone who had only a vague description to model it after. It is clearly a teddy bear with a vaguely owl-like head. It is also very worn out, with threadbare fabric, a couple of small patches, a need for new stuffing, and only a single yellow button painted to look like an owl's eye. It is also a little bit dirty. The toy owlbear was originally sewn for a young child named Helena Vithrum by her grandmother. Helena carried the stuffed monster, which she named Hoo, with her everywhere for several years before it mysteriously disappeared. When Helena was a young woman setting out for a life of adventuring, she found the owlbear toy buried with her father's old sword and shield. Hoo joined Helena on her first journeys as a reminder of home. The last time the stuffed owlbear toy was seen by Helena Vithrum, it was traded to a dragon in return for sparing the life of one of her adventuring party.
