Monthly Patron Hangout

This month's patron hangout is on Saturday, August 20, from 11 am to 1 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:

(SPECIAL BONUS!!!) Reimagining the Bounty of the Land: A Foraging, Hunting, and Crafting System - $15+ Patrons
Would you like to craft potions and magic items from monster body parts? Or from rare and mystical plants you find and harvest? Every game master has at least one player who is always collecting harvesting organs, scales, and other bits from slain creatures. This ruleset gives them something to do with them!

This light-weight ruleset for the fifth edition of the world's most popular roleplaying game provides a mechanism to forage plants and harvest monsters for rare ingredients which can then be used to craft magical items, potions, and more.

Opposition & Order, Lair Magazine #20, August 2022 Issue
This month's issue delivers the following 5e-compatible resources:

• Constructive Creatures: The Ghrecti - The Ghrecti are extraplanar creatures originating from Limbo, the realm of unbridled chaos. These new creatures are designed for mid- to high-level adventures.
• The Wrath of Koh'Livahr Adventure Arc - This adventure arc consists of three adventures spanning levels 18, 19 and 20. and features the new Ghrecti creatures, lead by their insane overlord and god-figure, Koh'Livahr. With tears in reality appearing across the material plane and the chaos of Limbo leaking into the world, can the adventurers stop Koh'Livahr before he merges Limbo with their world? Includes digital maps for ease of use online.
• The Beginnings of Grand Deeds - A collection of adventure ideas -- consisting of creatures, premise, and plot hook -- that game masters can use to inspire their own adventure creation.
• Chaotic Encounters with the Ghrecti - These stand-alone encounters featuring the new Ghrecti creatures can be used as part of the Wrath of Koh'Livahr adventure are or dragged and dropped into your existing campaign as random encounters or side quests. Includes digital maps for online play.

This month's map pack is themed around ruins. 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.)

The Water Dragon (level-11 fifth-edition adventure) - $25+ patrons
A green dragon has been spreading terror through the region, and now it has kidnapped the Duchess of Waldenswill! But there is more at play than it first may seem. A young aboleth has begun to spread its influence across the region: Is it already too late to stop them? Can the Duchess be saved? Is it really that difficult to fight underwater?
The adventure comes with digital maps for online play.
