Let's Hang out! - Monthly Patron Hangout

This month's patron hangout is on Monday, September 19, from 7 to 9 p.m. Eastern US time. Adult Dragon patrons and above can find the Zoom link in the $25+ Patron Rewards post linked above.

What is this hangout all about? Basically, it's just me and other patrons hanging out over Zoom and talking about D&D, life, and whatever topics occur to us. Usually a few members of the DM Lair team are there, too. It's a cool chance meet the people behind the names and shoot the breeze with us. :D

This Month's Patron Benefits

Here's the loot DM Lair patrons get this month:

Trial & Trust, Lair Magazine #21, September 2022 Issue
This month's issue delivers the following 5e-compatible resources:

• A Matter of Faith - Twelve new divine spellcasters and holy warriors ranging from CR 1/8 to CR 15 that you can throw against your players' characters. The Abbot, the Prior of the Undying Flame, the Rural Rector, and more.
• Arcane Puzzles - Five new puzzles ranging from easy to hard: A Precious Door, The Blinded Find the Way, The Lone Dragon, Elemental Soup, and Fresco Frustration.
• Transform Your Monsters - Ten templates that you can apply to any creature to create a new type! Clockwork Construct Template, Shadow Touched Template, Abyssal Plagued Template, Fungoid Template, Dark Cursed Template, and more.
• It Came from Below... - Level-2 fifth-edition adventure.
  Nestled in the mountains lies the town of Cohlbridge. Despite the hardships with monsters in the area, the mines have been productive and helped to make Cohlbridge a new and rising place of commerce with plenty of opportunities for newcomers. However, few know of the mines’ dark past, long before it was known as Cohlbridge.
• Creating a Settlement - This set of guidelines and tables will guide GMs through creating settlements, either randomly, on the fly during gameplay, or deliberately during game prep.
• Growing Malice - Level-17 fifth-edition adventure.
  One tends to expect certain eccentricities when dealing with mages. Whether they are prone to outbursts, seek long periods of solitude, or have developed any number of odd habits, there is an understanding that such things come with studying arcane powers as long as they have. However, one also can’t help but be nervous around them. After all, the study that affected their minds gave them great power, and those with the power to topple kingdoms and end worlds are the ones that seem on the edge of their wit, with the only comfort being their eccentricities follow a pattern. So, when a powerful and highly respected mage disappears to his estate for longer than is his habit, it falls to a party of heroes to track him down and stop him if necessary.

Map Pack 16: Calamity - $15+ patrons
This month's map pack is themed around calamity. It contains 4 ten-room "dungeon" maps and 6 "encounter" maps. Each map comes as an image file with both gridded and non-gridded versions and both low- and high-resolution versions. (So four versions of each map.)

A Would-Be God's Revenge (level-12 fifth-edition adventure) - $25+ patrons
A group of adventures managed to defeat the would-be god Eludium. He fled the battle in his enfeebled state, having been handed a resounding defeat. However, he swore to himself that he would have his revenge. Will this new group of adventurers be able to stop him a second time, or will Eludium rise once again?
The adventure comes with digital maps for online play.

Discount Codes - 5-15% off all digital products in the DM Lair Store

Bloopers Video - $15+ patrons
Clips of me being even dumber than in my regular YouTube videos. Yay. This will be released when available.

Sign-Up for Monthly D&D Game - $15+ patrons
I run one monthly D&D one-shot game, and I choose the players from my patrons. The signup form for this will be released next Monday via a Patreon post.

Thank you all so very much for your generous patronage, and I sincerely hope you find all these resources helpful!!!
