Throwback: Secret Santa Gifts of 2023
For the past few years, I've been participating in a Secret Santa homebrew gfit exchange on the Discord of Many Thingsserver. Each is inspired by a set of key words/phrases given by the giftee.If you like, you can sign up to participate in this year's exhange until Nov 24th.I've also been an elf, helping Santa with last-minute gifts that need to be created (because some naughty people never get around to making something for someone else) or gift-wrapped (taking plain text brews and giving them a fancier look).The gifts here are one...
Gentleman's Club (a Club-vember creation)
You don't have to be a gentleman to use this magic cane.Made for day 22 of Club-vember.
Book Club (a Club-vember creation)
This book was inspired by an early scene in that film classic, Bio-Dome.It's also a useful magic item of learning.Made for day 21 of Club-vember.
Supper Club (a Club-vember creation)
This mysical weapon was once (and still could be) a tool for cooking.It was made for day 20 of Club-vember.
Treasure: Trillium Club Pin (a Club-vember creation)
This tiny platinum lapel pin is worn only by members of a secret society called the Trillium Club.This was created for both day 19 of Club-vember(a month of me making daily, club-themed homebrews) and the 74th Treasure Tuesday(the day each week I make a free, unique, nonmagical treasure item).
Point of Interest: Caster Club (a Club-vember creation)
Sometimes people just want to be able to socialize with people they have something in common with. In this case, those people are all wizards.This place originally appeared in my personal D&D setting, and getting in to find out what was inside was a goal of several players (none of them were playing wizards at the time).I'm including it here because it really fits this month's theme and has not previously been posted for others to use.Posted for day 18 of Club-vember.
Jockey Club (a Club-vember creation)
This magic weapon lets you summon a fast riding horse that can help you get places faster and could help you win a race.Created for day 17 of Club-vember.
Culture Club (a Club-vember creation)
This walking stick, which doubles as a weapon, has magic that helps you blend into different cultures with ease.Yes, it was inspired by the name of a band from the 1980s.This was made for day 16 of Club-vember.
Glee Club (a cursed Club-vember creation)
This potent magical club can make your foes unable to fight once you hit them. It's not all fun though, as you start to laugh at inappropriate times.The possessive cursemechanic is something I added in The Amethyst Dragon's Hoard of Everything, and I thought it would be a good fit for this item.This was made for day 15 of Club-vember.
Social Club (a Club-vember creation)
Inspired by establishments that turned into Mafia-run "members only" social clubs, this weapon was made for day 14 of Club-vember.
Fan Club (a Club-vember creation)
This simple magic weapon can release a continuous blast of powerful wind for up to a minute.This was made for day 13 of Club-vember, a month of daily club-related homebrew creations.
Treasure: Ishmael's Justice (a Club-vember creation)
Once used on a trading ship to secure rigging ropes, this belaying pin - turned club - turned belaying pin ended up being used to secure a hanging rope.The name is inspired by the narrator and only survivor of a certain ill-fated fictional ship.This was created for both the 73rd Treasure Tuesday(the day each week I make a free, unique, nonmagical treasure) and the 12th day of Club-vember(a month of daily club-themed creations).
Billy Club (a Club-vember creation)
Like yesterday's kennel club, this magic weapon can be used to conjure up animals to aid you. In this case, it's a herd of 8-24 goats.This was made for day 11 of Club-vember.
Kennel Club (a Club-vember creation)
This magical weapon lets you conjure 8 domesticated dogs, which will follow your commands.This was made for day 10 of Club-vember, an entire month of daily, club-related homebrew creations.
NPC: Brog, King of Clubs (a Club-vember creation)
When you can swing more clubs than anyone else, that makes you the king, right?This character was created for day 9 of Club-vember.2024-11-17: Fixed incorrect creature size/type/alignment, which had been left over from a previous creature. Error caught by a sharp-eyed patron.
Point of Interest: Hellfire Club VII (a Club-vember creation)
This drinking and socializing location is the place to be if you've got plenty of money.Made for day 8 of Club-vember, a month of daily, club-themed homebrews.
Hellfire Club (a Club-vember creation)
This fiendish weapon does more than burn your enemies.Made for day 7 of Club-vember.
Treasure: Pink Seashell
This cute little shell was found and treasured by a child, and the child's mother had it turned into a piece of jewelry years later so the then-grown child could wear it during her wedding.This was made for the 72nd Treasure Tuesday.
Golf Club (a Club-vember creation)
This big magic club lets you send objects flying with great speed, making it dangerous for your foes that tried to stay further away from you.This was made for day 5 of Club-vember.
Club Med (a Club-vember creation)
This blessed club is a potentially a lifesaver on the battlefield.If you line things up and give your ally a really strong whack with it, it can be more effective than a low-level cleric.You have to be careful, however, because if you use it on an ally that's actively dying, trying to use the club to cast cure woundsor lesser restorationwith the bonus healing could actually give them a mercifully swift end.DMs: In my games, the only people who know the results of death saving throws are the PC who secretly rolls them and the DM. It adds som...
Point of Interest: Club Dread (a Club-vember and holiday creation)
This heavily-themed drinking establishment gives the patrons a spooky place to socialize.This was made for day 3 of Club-vember, with inspiration drawn from a movie (for the name) and from the holiday that took place just four days ago (Halloween).I would totally go to a place like this myself.
Spell: Metamorphasize Rock
I was checking the Discord of Many Things (a homebrewing Discord server) and saw they have a new geology-themed prompt.As a life-long science guy, I felt like I had to make something to fit the prompt, and this spell tumbled into my head, so I made it.
Country Club (a Club-vember creation)
Rather than some golfing location or snobby gathering place, this is a magic weapon that helps you do farming or ranching work if you aren't already skilled at it.Made for day 2 of Club-vember, a month of daily, club-related homebrews.
Dance Club (a Club-vember creation)
This magical club can give your enemies the power of dance, even if they don't want it. You have to be careful with it though, as overusing its ability could cost you your own ability to dance.'This was created for day 1 of Club-vember, an entire month of daily club-related homebrews for November 2024.
Monster: Swarm of Confounding Bats (a holiday creation)
Bats are often associated with Halloween, and Halloween thoughts inspired today's D&D creation.These bats are much like a regular swarm of bats in the game, though the swarm is larger. These particular bats also sow confusion in the minds of their prey (and in the minds of any other creatures nearby).These bats make use of the delusionalcondition.
Treasure: Harriet's Loom
This well-made but ordinary loom was once owned and used by a gnomish woman loved by her neighbors.This was made for Treasure Tuesday #71.
NPC: Arkon the Wolf
This intimidating figure is an astute businessman.He owns and runs Arkon's Den.Arkon was one of the NPCs I originally created for my personal Neverwinter Nights24/7 server (The World of Aenea PW). He gave PCs a way to store all their excess gold and then access it from different towns.For this iteration, I thought I'd give him some spellcasting. He uses my Telepathysorcerous origin. The spells don't really make him much more dangerous in combat, but do add a lot for the storytelling side of things.
Treasure: Sven Svensson's Treasure Box
Treasure Tuesday #70 brings this old wooden box that was once worn as a backpack by a famous writer.
Point of Interest: Arkon's Den
Not everyone has a secure vault at home for their valuables, and it would be nice to be able to store coins in a trusted location.Arkon's Den is bank with multiple branches that are able to magically communicate with each other. It may even be possible for characters to deposit money at one location and collect money at another.This business is owned and run by Arkon the Wolf.
Monster: Cat of Omens (a holiday creation)
Black cats are a Halloween thing, and the idea for this particular little monster has been on my ideas list for more than a year.
