Starting in the first week of December, I will be releasing a new elemental sorcerer subclass every week for the month!

I've always been a big fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, so I have taken quite a lot of inspiration from them and tried to mechanise them for D&D 5E.

Next week, I'll be releasing the Geomancer who was inspired from our favourite creepy people from Ba Sing Se!

Go check out my Patreon if you're interested. The silver tier, for just £3 a month will unlock these subclasses for early-access!

While I have been advertising the posts I have been making on Patreon, I have realised I haven't really advertised the costs. So, to rectify that, here you go! This post outlines all available tiers of subscription and the benefits they entail. Please let me know if you have any questions! Link for my Patreon below:

I know I haven't been the most consistent in posting on the social media about the new content coming out, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been created!

To try and achieve some kind of consistency, every Sunday I will be posting a list of all the worldbuilding updates and lore posts that have been made that week on World Anvil.

So far, I'm around 70,000 throughout this entire project and I know I'm not even halfway through. If you want to support me and my goals to get this into a published campaign setting one day, go ahead and check my Patreon!

Alongside the worldbuilding and practical side of DM content to use for your own campaigns, for my Patrons I am also working on pieces of fiction.

Generally, I intend to write one short story a month but the first one has turned out larger than expected. The prologue and first two chapters hit around 10,000 words alone.

Just letting y'all know another major part of my worldbuilding has been completed. The entirety of the Vestran Pantheon, 19 deities, has been completed, both the good and evil.

The Defenders are the good-aligned deities of the people with widely accepted worship throughout the world.

The Apostates are the evil-aligned dark gods who betrayed their divine brethren and have been punished for their actions, yet still have influence upon Vestra.

All deities have their story, their relationships with other gods, suggested Cleric domains, and their own commandments.

All is available for my Patrons!

Here is a preview of a 9 page PDF I not long released going over everything about the Arcane Myriad, one of the magical factions within my homebrew world.

Within it goes over the history of the organisation, the leadership and hierarchy within, as well as outlining each individual outpost, or Arcanum, within the continent of Calon Tir.

Head on over to my Patreon if you want more!

A new interactive map! This, alongside my previous Joras PDF, should give you all you really need to add Joras into your own homebrew world. It includes excerpts for all points of interest and stores. This includes who runs the shops, a bit of background on some of the places, and example stock they may sell.

I've just created a particularly nasty monster to throw at your high level players that will definitely put some fear into them.

This one can lead to some interesting moral dilemmas and reactions from your players.

I am releasing a few public posts for those who wish to see what my content is about before wishing to subscribe. I would much rather potential patrons to feel comfortable in their subscription than pay and then realise this is not the content they really want. Here is one example of my NPC's that dwell within my world with their own backstory, but at surface level can be implanted anywhere.

What you see here is what is available to Copper-Tier Patrons. If you follow the below link to my World Anvil page of Lord Trey, scroll to the bottom and click on 'Secrets', you will see the full backstory of how he fits within my world. Those in-depth backstories are available for Silver and Gold-Tier Patrons, for those who wish to support me even more and are interested in my worldbuilding project.

Just wrapped up on my first NPC. The charming, if a bit dull, Goliath berserker Ulthgar Stronghammer!

His statblock and information is available for Copper-Tier patrons, but if you want his full detailed story within my world of Vestra is available for Silver-Tier patrons.

Just completed my first commission! I received this commission at the beginning of the week for a map in the shape of a pawprint. They wanted something simple without any man-made structures and specific biomes as they are still working on the foundations of their Animal Crossing style campaign.

But I'm super stoked for my first commission and working with others to bring their ideas to life! If you ever have need for a map, please let me know!

Here's a preview of the map of the supercontinent my campaign is currently focused on. It's constantly being updated on Patreon if you want to see more of this ever-evolving world!

Well howdy, folks. Welcome to me trying my hand at trying to delve deeper into the D&D community by making a space to show my ever-expanding homebrewed world and assist others in the creation of theirs.

I've been enamoured with this game for the past year and it's safe to say it has taken over my life. Between DM'ing three different campaigns I am constantly worldbuilding on my own large-scale world called Vestra.

I want to share my worldbuilding with the D&D community and have a place to help others. To do this, I have made a Patreon which you can find connected to this page.

The bulk of my world-building can be found on World Anvil with the below link. However, for those who wish to support me I am creating a variety of content exclusive to my patrons which includes new magical items, settlements to pop into your world, fully fleshed out NPC's, and even short stories based on any settlement within my world. Please go check it out!
