It’s minty! It’s frosty! No, it’s minty! The Peppermint Potion gives the drinker a red and white swirl of both fire and cold damage until their next short/long rest. How’s that for festive?! 🎄🍭

Mini-Quest: The Ghosts of Sessions Past.

Steal This Idea! 🎄👻

The players are visited by three Ghosts of Sessions Past, here to haunt them about their worst failures and show them visions of what *could* have happened in a perfect world. What would have gone different if the Fighter hadn't crit-failed against the boss? What about if the Bard hadn't have gotten seduced by that vampire? And what about if the players solved that puzzle from the third session instead of giving up to go fight every goblin ever?

Take your players on a humorous trip through an alternate reality this Christmas, and give them all the lump of coal they deserve. 😝

Hope your players brought some cold resistance, because this Snowman won’t be going down without a fight! ☃️🎄

"The Ephemeral Ember wanes on its stone shrine as a sorrowful cloud of smoke billows up to the skies. Impossibly, you sense a strange sadness emanating from the element; as though the very fire itself is trying to tell you something imperative in a language long unspoken."

What could be the secret of the Ephemeral Ember? Do NPCs in your world know what the smoke signal means? Could this have ties to events or legends happening in your game? 

Leave a comment with how you would use this in your game!

Get some new magical items for Fifth Edition with SideQuests: Loot Drop on Patreon!

Get more from SideQuests on Patreon

08/11/2023

It's double-trouble today with the debut of Loot Drop, a brand new weekly post series of magical items for Fifth Edition (and other TTRPGs)! Some will have specific properties and effects; some will be more conceptual and open for you to decide; but all will be easy-to-use magical items for any campaign.

To debut Loot Drop, here's a collection of magical item cards!

The Amulet of Eberos is a cursed amulet found in the midst of a scorching volcano, the flames of hells, an elemental temple of fire, or as a loot drop in SideQuests: The Brotherhood of Flame. The user gains dominion over flame... but at what cost?

The Amulet of Spirits is an enigmatic bangle that seemingly draws on nature's energy in order to recharge a spellcaster's magical power. But what could be the strange sideeffects of using the pale blue gemstone?

The Boots of Flamewalking are boots that can traverse flames and magma as though it was regular ground. Even better, platforms are created for the rest of the party to follow!

Finally, the Fireward Cloak is a powerful robe attuned to flame that can amplify or negate fire damage.

There have been a lot of exciting new features rolled out in Patreon over the past few weeks –Collections, Shops, a brand new app, and hosted videos! You'll notice that SideQuests content will all be navigable using collections now, with Adventures, Maps, Mini-Quests, and Loot Drops all now having their specific sections to easily sort though. I'm going to work hard on updating all of the existing content on here so that it's even easier to use: and I'm going to be more strict with an upload schedule going forward. There will be new Maps, Loot Drops, Mini-Quests every week, and new SideQuests adventures biweekly!

Thanks all!

Mini-Quest 07/12: Sacrificial Children. Three witches have run a foul gambit with the townsfolk: After saving the town from an outbreak of a terrible illness, the witches demand a sacrificial child every month when the moon is full. The mayor and notable figures of the town are in on this wicked game, and only they know where the “missing children” from the town’s orphanage have really disappeared to.

The fifth collection of SideQuests oneshot adventure modules for Fifth Edition DnD

“An old church, rundown and overgrown, sits on a small natural hilltop peeking above the forest. Despite appearing very much so abandoned, there is a flicker of light within the windows and through partially crumbled walls, and small billows of blackened smoke emanates from the northern side. A faint murmur of voices can be heard within…”

This is an encounter from an original module of mine, The Brotherhood of Flame, which is available on my Patreon! This fifth edition one-shot adventure is 22 pages long, and features a plethora of different maps, unique items, and encounter scenarios.
