James, on top of project managing the entire project, created a great selection of encounters, minigames, and cocktails you can get, all with varied and fun effects for your #dnd5e campaign!

James organization and optimism has you always wanting to do more and a pleasure to collab with!
CRASH THE CUP In the lamp lit bars and boat decks of the Lower City, drunken crowds cheer as two individuals slam cheap wooden tankards together. The game Crash the Cups is a local favorite especially among the dock workers of the Grey Harbour. To play the game, two characters each take a tankard filled to the brim with beer. Each round characters choose one of 3 actions below • Crash. The character makes a Strength (Athletics) check to crash their cup into another the other characters • Parry. The character makes a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to deftly parry the other character’s cup and avoid direct impact • Chug. The character chooses to instead drain their cup and must succeed a Constitution check. Two characters relax on a wooden dock at night beside a calm, misty harbor. An muscular orc man sits on a large barrel, laughing and holding a foaming mug of ale. Beside him, a tiefling woman lounges on the dock with one leg stretched out, also laughing and raising her own mug. Warm lantern light glows around them, contrasting with the cool blues of the starry sky and the shadowed town and ships behind, where yellow-lit windows dot the clustered buildings. Both appear cheerful and slightly tipsy

I've had the pleasure to work many times with @morganeilish.bsky.social, and every time she manages to come up with something extremely grand and unique!

In A Night Out in Baldur’s Gate, she was the one to create the idea that ties all the works together: The Annual Baldur's Gate Scavenger Hunt!
The Annual Baldur’s Gate Scavenger Hunt is a onenight- only event hosted by the Baldur’s Gate Adventurers’ Guild. It started as entertainment for bored members and quickly grew into a way to recruit new adventurers and solve the problems in the city that neither the Watch nor the Flaming Fist could be bothered to deal with. Every young adventurer from the city dreams of one day winning the hunt. The hunt starts at sundown at the Adventurers’ Guild Guildhall and ends at dawn. Participants are assigned a group to work with if they don’t already have one and given a list of tasks they can complete before dawn to earn points. All members of any group that returns to the guildhall by dawn and have completed at least 3 tasks earn membership to the Adventurer’s Guild. The group that earns the most points from their completed tasks wins the grand prize: 10,000 gp. Two characters relax on a wooden dock at night beside a calm, misty harbor. An muscular orc man sits on a large barrel, laughing and holding a foaming mug of ale. Beside him, a tiefling woman lounges on the dock with one leg stretched out, also laughing and raising her own mug. Warm lantern light glows around them, contrasting with the cool blues of the starry sky and the shadowed town and ships behind, where yellow-lit windows dot the clustered buildings. Both appear cheerful and slightly tipsy

Wanna head into Baldurs' Gate Lower City?

@koathedm.bsky.social created a whole selection of poisons and drugs for you to buy and use in your #dnd games!

There are things ranging from extremely dangerous materials to the well-known truth serum from spy movies! Did I mention we included prices?
HUSK Uncommon, Contact, 100gp per dose Made from a combination of crushed deathsprigs and sapping salts refined into a thick, gritty liquid, Husk is a poison that drains the moisture out of the affected creature rapidly until it is nothing more than a dried husk. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed at a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned in this way, the creature takes 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. TRUTH SERUM Uncommon, Ingested, 75gp per dose Truth Serum is made from the blood of sprites and refined dayblooms, and creatures subjected to this poison must succeed at a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. While poisoned in this way, the creature can’t knowingly speak a lie, as if under the effect of a zone of truth spell.

@enniogoes.bsky.social did a whole place for smuggling operations that can be a lot of fun to either use in your favor, or as a place enemies use to bring in stuff for the villain.

Which stuff? Ennio has you covered with a bunch of really cool magic items, including a small shrinking device!
A tiny metalwork toy designed to look like a spider. Its eight mechanical legs surround a green emerald embedded into the metal. Once per day, a creature that looks into the jewel must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be reduced in size for 1 minute. Anything the creature is wearing and carrying changes size with it. Any item dropped by an affected creature returns to normal size at once. If the creature succeeds, this item has no effect.

On top of creating an NPC I created a new bard subclass for you to add to your game.

The College of the Moon Justicar is for those who want to play a more offensive bard without losing its charm. Delve into the shadows, connect with the moon by changing personality depending on its phase
Bards of the college of the Moon Justicar use the starry sky as their muse, and become the best storytellers on camping sites while shone by moonlight. Those who are instructed by these ways often find their own sense of justice and enforce it in the urban areas during the night sky. Much like the lunar cycles, these bards switch through different personas. People may think they are faking it to fit everywhere they go. At times, there is a grain of truth in those statements, but it can't be denied that these bards are experts at adapting anywhere they go and exerting their beliefs. Members of this college gather in alleyways, exchanging stories and gossip about the surrounding area. However, they are not to move together, finding other people to travel with unless it is with other bards that share their same code. Two characters relax on a wooden dock at night beside a calm, misty harbor. An muscular orc man sits on a large barrel, laughing and holding a foaming mug of ale. Beside him, a tiefling woman lounges on the dock with one leg stretched out, also laughing and raising her own mug. Warm lantern light glows around them, contrasting with the cool blues of the starry sky and the shadowed town and ships behind, where yellow-lit windows dot the clustered buildings.

In A Night Out in Baldur's Gate I was in charge of creating an interesting NPC you could find while going through the many activities the product has to offer

Augustus Bloyd is the perfect NPC to both give quests to players and to get them into a lot of trouble 💀

I do really recommend Lords of Waterdeep from the D&D ones. Quite complex but easy to understand, allowing a lot of replayability. 4 players ideally though

I just created a kaiju for @rush-and-punch.bsky.social that is a 80 feet pidgeon hydra. When it takes damage it grows a head where you damage it, to the point of becoming unable to fly when it has too many heads.

Follow @rush-and-punch.bsky.social if you want to try out the game!
Description text: A gigantic pidgeon standing at 80 feet (25m) tall, with long wings, stretching to 200 feet (60m). It flies over the city looking at it menacingly with its deep red eyes. Codename [King Columbhead] is the result of multiple experiments by the Shadow Reign performed over one being that is already capable of resisting multiple deseases and mutations: the pidgeon. Its innate survivability is exploited to the max, allowing the entity to heal at speeds only seen before in microorganisms.

I helped playtesting by running all the PF2 monsters and it was a blast

Check out my weird time travel adventure Time Superflux, and have the group of grannies solve this dangerous and weird mystery!
Time Superflux. A Brindlewood Bay Mystery by Tomas Gimenez Rioja When the Mavens visit the exhibit of one of their favorite artist, Jean Berclevue, they find themselves tied in the middle of a time dilemma. An exact copy of the latest painting Monsieur Berclevue did, named “Time Superflux”, is found in the same space as the original. However, it is not a replica or a forgery, but the actual real deal. In other words, a paradox. Can the Maidens solve what is going on, or will they get trapped in the infinite loop of the time superflux?
