Did you ever wish you had more cozy content in your D&D and Level Up: A5e games? What about some sudden gothic horror? Check out my back catalog of content on DriveThruRPG for kitchen witches, glitter bombs, frenzied bloodblades, beer clerics, and more! buff.ly/4xhlePN #a5e #levelupa5e #3PPcreator

Class Drilldown: Bloodweaver Unlock magical supremacy through the power of blood. Then master a Tradition of Blood… Bloodbinder to heal torn flesh. Crimson Witch to curse your foes. Scarlet Reaper to wield blood like a blade. Illustration by Jeffrey Chen What These are blood mages with a much cooler name that feeds into the larger concept around how they approach their sanguine arcane arts.

bloooooooooooooooooood maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming soon (as in, before the end of the month and likely MUCH sooner) on A5Evening: a conversation with @mikemyler.bsky.social about his new backerkit project, The Complete Class Compendium (Complete Class Compendium for Level Up A5E and D&D 2024 Launch Party) a collection of 12 new #A5e classes

Disabled people are not expendable.

The elderly are not expendable.

Children are not expendable.

Worth should never be tied to economic productivity.

If we protected the most vulnerable in society, everyone would be better off.

I am happy to announce that we (Alli and I) are working on spinning A5Evening back up folks! With a slightly different format (a more permanent guest host situation: my fellow datamancer, Jenn from Long Dangerous Tales) to help with workload so that the issues my disability cause are more mitigated.

Superimposed across the image is the following text (in all capital letters): 

Bloodweaver
unlock magic’s truths through secrets in blood

Diabolist
summon evil forces to enact your will

Doctor
master biology to thrive and save lives 

Exemplar
turn luck and courage into glory

Feywalker
wield chaos and nature as deftly as blades

Freak
transform your curse into incredible power

Gemini
fight with agility and walk two paths

Mad Scientist
learn and master knowledge that is forbidden

Mechanic
armor makes you a force to be reckoned with

Occultist
embrace destiny by mastering the occult 

Scrapper
salvage the past to remake the future

Speedster
rely on your swiftness to triumph

Behind those are 10 character illustrations that are 50% transparent. Going clockwise from the upper left corner:.
Foppish blond human mage floating blood above his hands
Red-haired gnome ranger man wearing lots of gold decopunk armor
Purple many-tentacled muscular humanoid holding a dozen items
Redheaded dwarven man wearing power armor leaping with a two-handed maul
Debonair tiefling fellow in courtly attire wearing occult accoutrements
A humanoid athlete jumping towards the bottom right corner with an energized ball in their outstretched back hand
Pipe-hatted gentleman in a suit with clocks on his prosthetic leg, his cane, his glasses lenses, and held in his hand
Human warrior woman with golden jewelry jumping upwards with a bow in one hand, the other reaching for an arrow from her back
Woman dressed for a ball holding an evil staff in one hand and conjuring a bound ghost with the other
In the very center of the image is a samurai wielding a katana. She is wearing banded armor, has a long and voluminous black ponytail, and has a lightning-sparking replacement for one eye. Below and behind her are identical duplicates that are more opaque, each with a different expression. They are posed with the sword held with both hands, inverted and the blade pointing forwards.

For any new followers, Hatchlings Games is strictly against the water guzzling, job devouring, billonnaire enabling monstrosity that is Gen-AI.

If you’re someone that advocates for its use, or worse, encourages its growth in the creative industries, we shouldn’t be mutuals.

Less a support type link than it is a thing I made that people can buy to support me.

I created 3(!) different ooze themed archetypes for the 3rd party boodblade class for #a5e #dnd? One is even based on my own #autoimmunedisease and treatment! #disabilityrepresentation!

@chronicnotebook - That chronically ill person you know has probably never answered a "how are you" honestly. They probably told you "it is what it is", laughed and trivialised their pain because their real answer was long, traumatising and and intense and they didn't want to make you uncomfortable.
