Depth Charm + Depth-Wreck Guard + Sunken Ship + Coral Reef Shipwreck (James' RPG Art + The Fluffy Folio + Limithron Collab)

Depth Charm + Depth-Wreck Guard + Sunken Ship + Coral Reef Shipwreck (James' RPG Art + The Fluffy Folio + Limithron Collab)

Greetings adventurers!

There are very few things that frighten the pants off of me more than the ocean and its inhabitants. Deep below the waves all manner of terror resides. With their scaley bodies and sharp teeth and dead fishy eyes… It’s enough to make a man never want to venture onto a boat. That said, when I heard of a clan of hybridized creatures that fiercely guarded shipw...

Greetings adventurers!

I try not to mettle in the affairs of elemental beings. They’re just too temperamental I find. You know the fiery ones are all hotheaded. The stone ones are a bit too down to earth. The windy ones are all full of hot air. The moist ones are, well moist. I do recognize the effort that goes into working with them. This little treat came to our shop by way of one...

September 2023 Wrap Up

September 2023 Wrap Up

Greetings everyone!

Well this is an exciting time of year for me. We're moving into spooky season and I LOVE being spooky. It's one of my favorite times of year as I get to don my costumes and go to haunted houses. I get to get out in that comfortable autumn breeze and enjoy the foliage (when I'm not raking it). Also it's the best time of year for renaissance faires which is quite excitin...

One More Thing: Drudgework Observer

One More Thing: Drudgework Observer

Greetings Adventurers,

We just couldn't resist. When the idea of creating a bird construct came up, I really just couldn't help it. We had to make it a thing. This latest Drudgework creation will rule the skyways over your game and insure that your players can never hide from their watchful eyes. As usual, we put together a matching magic item to go with it which you saw earlier today. We...

Observer's Cowl

Greetings adventurers!

While the screeching call of a majestic bird is often cause for excitement, there are a few that make things a bit more… terrifying. Ruling the skyways, the Drudgework Observers have come to be known as a terrifyingly perfect scout for skyfaring dwarves. Outfitted with the latest in optical tech, some conniving individual saw fit to repurpose that technology f...

Disarming Sword

Disarming Sword

Greetings adventurers!

Duelists are always crowding up the streets with their challenges for honor and valor. It’s such a bore as they’re all typically the same. Oh someone wronged you betrothed, or you cousin sold some bad cabbage. Whatever the case may be, I usually pay them little mind until one day I saw one with a rather interesting sword. I’m not sure what the argument was...

Spearrow + Spiking Spear Sparrow + Airship (Collab with The Fluffy Folio & James' RPG Art)

Greetings adventurers!

The skies are a magical and terrifying place filled with all manner of possibilities as well as things that want to eat you. Isn’t that just the most exciting thing? As we expand our reach of knowledge into the unknown corners and frontiers of these lands, so too are airships extending our reach into the heavens. There are always challenges though, for example...

Greetings adventurers!

I received an odd letter one day stating that I had been named as a benefishiary in someone’s will after they had sadly passed. I had never heard the name before and due to the typo, I assumed it to be a scam. That said, I’m never one to turn down a good scam if I can learn from it, so off I trudged to the lawman’s office where he informed me that no it wa...

August 2023 Wrap Up

Greetings everyone!

Well I suppose that's a wrap on hot goblin summer eh? I'm always a bit downhearted to see summer come to a close as I rather enjoy the outdoor activities that I get up to during it, but we still have fall and spooky season right around the corner which is great to look forward to. Fernando and I are already getting ourselves prepared for our journey to PAX Unplugged in...

One More Thing: Drudgemother

One More Thing: Drudgemother

Greetings Adventurers,

The last in our line of Drudgework creations, the Drudgemother comes as the final piece of the puzzle for our line of Drudgework constructs. This core of the construct network is what ties all of the machines together. It's made to be a perfect boss fight if it goes a little rogue. You could bring in a lot of our other creations as part of the fight and make this a ...

Greetings adventurers!

Bharzul is truly a city of wonders. You know they have a fully autonomous network of constructs that tends to the day to day mundanities of city life? Truly. I’ve heard that the core of it is a closely guarded secret. Some advanced form of magic no doubt. In either case, it does make things rather convenient with their chariots and self-repairing machines. I d...

Greetings adventurers!

It was a particularly sunny day this late summer when I decided to treat myself to a walk. Things get a bit stuffy in the workshop on these muggier days. During the walk, I came across an individual wearing all black sitting under a tree with an umbrella. Their skin was pale as the moon and they didn’t seem to be one for conversation. Those are precisely the t...

Watchful Seal

Watchful Seal

Greetings adventurers!

High society and all their formalities and procedures, more rules and laws than one could ever think possible. It makes my head spin and frankly, I prefer to carouse with the oddballs down at the Nest rather than bathe in the ostentatious fineries of the upper crust. I will say, all of their formalities do present many opportunities for an enterprising individua...

Greetings adventurers!

The divine and their rules and laws are all so boring to me. I mean, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing terrible about a little holy drama when they get on their operatic antics, but you know at a base level the devotion is just something that I can’t reconcile. I thought very little of it when I was seated on a bench next to a downtrodden Paladin who ram...

Greetings adventurers!

It’s not often that an individual walks into our shop and plops a helmet down on the table offering it to us for free. It’s even less frequent when that helmet has a skull still in it. When asked why the lady wanted rid of the skull and helmet combo, she made it clear that she was at her wits end with his chattering, though she did find him useful at times. ...

July 2023 Wrap Up

Greetings everyone!

We made it through what is probably the weirdest month of content creation that I've had. Fernando and I each had separate vacations throughout the month, but assuming all went well, you didn't even notice that as we were plenty prepared to keep the content flowing. Now we're back in action and continuing so you still won't notice any change. Isn't that cool? I dunno, ...

The third in our line of Drudgework creations, the Chariot is meant for the busy adventurer on the go. You have places to be and people to see so you can hop right in one of these convenient modes of conveyance to get yourself from place to place in a hurry. With their built in communication network, they'll always keep you on the fastest route... Just don't get in ...

Man O' Wheel

Man O' Wheel

Greetings adventurers!

Tinkering and tooling around with parts you already have on hand in order to make something a little different is a time honored tradition in Dwarven cultures. So much so that they often have scrapyard competitions where they put together the best of what they can with whatever they have lying around. The Man O’  Wheel was a product of one such competitio...

Gaoler

Greetings adventurers!

The world can be a scary place at times, not due to monsters but due to the people that inhabit it. Some of the worst types you could ever come across are locked away and forgotten in long lost dungeons where they were left to rot. One individual had a different idea though. He felt that for some, they were too dangerous to be allowed to exist on the same plane ...

The halflings toil away perfecting their runic languages and turning touch to magic on a daily basis. It’s fascinating what they’ve managed to come up with, but I suppose with as much time as they have lying about they might as well get something done. While many of them fancy themselves master negotiators, it’s never a poor idea to have a little bit of ba...

Greetings adventurers!

In a faraway temple that reaches up from the ground like the rigid remains of some unnatural creature, there lies a gauntlet. Some have sought it out to extend their lives. Others have gone in search of the power to end the existence of others. They all end up cursed in the end. It’s quite sad really, but we’re not ones to turn down a little “spicy” magi...

Greetings adventurers!

We were out on the lagoon having a comfortable fishing session that was mostly focused on downing the mead we had brought with us. I hope you can understand that the true joy of fishing is in the company and the beverages you bring. Anyways, I felt an unfortunate tug on my line and that meant I had to actually do something. Reluctantly reeling in the catch I not...

The official start of summer is behind us in the northerner hemisphere and that means we're getting into vacation season around here.

We have a lot of interesting releases planned for July and August as wel...

Greetings Adventurers,

The second in our line of Drudgework creatures and a fearsome foe to find in any forested area. The Drudgework Cleaver is all about logging and transportation of wood from forest to fireplace or anywhere else. These strong creatures are especially suited to the water and find themselves at home swimming through it. Their formidable spinning fanged blades are ready t...

Well, the dwarves have been busy with their Drudgework machinery and the more they turn out, the more unintended uses we find for parts and pieces of it.

Just strap ...

While some view nature’s fury with natural reverence and respect, there will always be those that aim to bend nature to their will, no matter how extreme the environs. One such forgemaster set out to make a helm that would encompass the full furor of a volcano into his work. It seems he was successful in the end, but so vengeful was he in his fervor that many ...
