Have I got a treat for you! A few weeks ago, the amazing Neal Powell of the Block Party Podcast Network, asked me to look over a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons critter he created called the sojuzga. As a wicked DM, I fell in love with the mind-controlling monstrosities. I asked Neal if I could post the baddies on my blog and he graciously agreed.

I have the flu this week, so I’ll keep my own words short and let’s Neal’s horror do the talking. You can check it out below and grab a PDF of it here: Sojuzga PDF

If you like Neal’s work (and you should), check out his awesome game design project over at his site The Struggle Is Neal, where he takes album covers and turns them into RPG inspiration.

I was on a recent episode of the DM Nastics podcast!

Neal Powell was kind enough to invite me onto the cast to stretch my mind muscles with some Underdark brainstorming/story exercises. This was after I was on the Dungeon Master’s Block podcast talking about all things under and dark with Mitch and Chris! Neal is an excellent host and I had such a fun time creating adventure locations with him.

If you aren’t listening to the Dungeon Master’s Block feed and you’re a DM, then you’re also missing out! Check out the awesome advice, interviews, and exercises from some of the best in the biz. Get your DM brain swole!
