Welcome to Dungeons and Homebrews!

Welcome! I'm currently running a campaign based on the Into Exile setting I've created, as well as The Fourteen Virtues. 

I love creating content for tabletop games, and I decided to create a blog to showcase what I've made--at least, a small portion of it. 

In this featured post, I'll be posting links to my custom classes/races and game sessions, to make things easy. Feel free to browse, and ask questions if needed!

I find class and race creation both fun and entertaining, and I hope they'll be fun to play for both my players and any others willing to give them a try! Some are inspired by World of Warcraft, others, pathfinder classes that already exist, some that are based on the world of Guild Wars 1 and 2, and finally, the ones I made purely from my own imagination.

Homebrew Settings (5e)

Into Exile - The setting of Khastra, its curse, and its prominent deities which guide their citizens when the arcane powers of the world vanished 50 years prior. This includes Twenty backgrounds, each based upon the twenty-member pantheon of the setting, as well as a couple of new races, like the half-nymph.

 

The Fourteen Virtues - The setting of Himitsu and its clans based upon virtue and sin. This includes three new races - the kitsune, oni, and the Scarred.
