So my first big gift to you all this month was the BONUS subclass request for patrons of SILVER+. Next up, I'm offering swag to those who are participating in Gods of Wandrossa of ELECTRUM+Edit: EVERYONE gets to have a sigil so long as you're playing GoW regardless of tier. But only Electrum+ gets the physical product. Sorry for the confusion.I'm going to make icons/sigils for each of the gods on there.

March is here! With March comes spring, rain, and on DMDave, 26 new subclasses! Which, fun enough, works out to 2 per core class.Woohoo!This time, I'm going to do things a little differently, too. I'm turning to Instagram to come up with some crazy ideas for subclasses and I'm also turning to all of you to come up with some as well.I may regret this, but... every single patron on here can request a subclass for the month of March so long as they are a SILVER TIER patron or better. So...

[Gods of Wandrossa] Alligator Loch (New Map)

Alligator Loch opens today, offering fun, new locations east of Wicked Maple Grove.The region gets its name for the large lake at the south eastern corner of the region. While the Loch does a few alligators swimming in its waters, its mostly named as such due to its shape--it looks like an alligator's head!Two settlements make their home in the Alligator Loch Region.The first is Icwold, a fishing village tucked into the corner of the tall cliffs of The Silver Rise, just off the coast of the ...

[Requests] Creation tokens and making requests.

[Gods of Wandrossa] Chosen One Creation

Today, in Gods of Wandrossa you're allowed to use Chosen Ones. What's a Chosen One? Mechanically speaking, it's an extra action taken at Might 1. At various levels you get more than one Chosen One. In Fifth Edition terms they're considered characters of 20th-level or monsters with a CR 15 - 17, typically with a lair.For you, all you need to do is give me the name and brief description of your Chosen Ones. Don't limit yourself to just NPCs, either. These can be anything that m...

[Gods of Wandrossa] Soft Reboot/Rules Update

Over the last week, I’ve received some awesome feedback from patrons and fans re: the Gods of Wandrossa game on Patreon. Plus, I’ve learned a lot, too.One big issue I had with how the game is currently set up is that the game itself has been distracting from its original purpose, which was to create an open source for others to provide ideas to building the world and for me to weave it all together. Instead, the game more or less turned into Farmville. I was so busy trying to keep track of a...

[Poll] Should there be non-competitive options for Gods of Wandrossa?

[Gods of Wandrossa] A few things I want to express.

Hey folks,There's a few things that I want to express here before I go any further because there seems to be some confusion. I hope you don't mind explaining my thought process behind the game and how it works.First, this game is currently being "prototyped" with you all. That means, there's some features and functionality that aren't working right away. Powers, Chosen Ones, etc. As we go, I'm adding new elements into it. In tech, we call this an "MVP" or mini...

[Gods of Wandrossa] 9K1 Daily Report

Good evening/morning everyone!Here are the results for yesterday's actions.Action Log Cycle 1A Note on TemplesThere seemed to be some confusion re: temples and temple levels.So we're clear, the Max Temple Levels that a settlement can have does not mean temples, but actual levels. So if the MTL for a settlement is 7 and there is a Level 2, Level 3, and 2 Level 1s there, that means that there isn't room for any more temples OR for more temple levels until the settlement gains a rank.Be...

[Requests] Content Calendar Updated

Hey everyone, I've updated the content calendar as best I can. However, the Community section is a little buggy, so I might have missed a few.https://dmdave.com/content-calendar/If you have a request that you haven't claimed or haven't had made (or isn't on the content calendar) do me a favor and post it in the community page. I think I've knocked out most of the big ones, but I could be wrong. Keep in mind that adventures and full classes can take a while, too.Thanks!
