Additionally, I will be merging this mastodon account with my main account.
I originally created a separate account here as my personal account is on a private instance that was not well federated at the time. Also, I wanted to ensure my homebrew reached people that might be interested.
Both of these issues are largely resolved now, and maintaining a separate account has become just a time-sink.

- While I've found I can design a monster pretty quickly, I feel it's not really doing them justice. A magic item divorced of context is mysterious and intriguing. A monster divorced of context is incomplete.

It's a wonder that they can take to the air at all, but it is limited. Hipposus can only fly about an hour total a day before their wings become tired. This works out well for the hipposus, who prefer to spend their time in the […]

Flutter Reaper Flutter Reapers are the dark work of necromancers. Once a sprite or similar fey, this undead is somewhere between a skeleton and a wrath. A tiny frail skeletal body is supported by incorporeal wings. Swarms of Flutter Reapers are surprisingly effective as a tactical option for necromancers, and bring new meaning to the saying "death by 1,000 cut […]

Giant Skull Wasp This variant on the standard Giant Wasp is thought to have developed it's unique appearance to ward off the hunters who kill them to harvest their venom.
