Hi friends! It's Aboleth Eye... You know, the homebrewing madman standing on the D&D 3.5e soapbox. Haha! I've got plenty to share with this wonderful hellsite!
I have been working on tons of homebrew projects recently, and I want to share them with all you wonderful people on my blog, Aboleth Workshop! This project began with just importing past homebrews onto one site (and not a billion google docs), and now I'm making entirely new stuff for you guys to play with! Monsters, new races, new classes, and more!
Here's everything I've made since starting the blog (below the break)! Check them out fully in my blog's Homebrew Index page!
Classes: three types of warlock (spooky, celestial and fey); dragoon monster hunters, echo knights, Chainsaw Man devil hybrids, specialized witches, undead hunters, popstar soulknives and magical girls/super sentai
Character Races: mad scient experiments, succubi planetouched, snake-armed ladies, monstrous lamia, bacchanal cultists, genie doubles, headless horsemen, succubi/incubi, unicorns, object-heads, living spellbooks and living sculptures
Posting more regularly about my homebrew classes! Welcome to my latest class, the Fiendknife! A living weapon class for D&D 3e/3.5 edition, inspired by the Hybrids from Chainsaw Man!
Tear into your opponents with blades, arrows, bombs and more from your own infernal body! Includes several combat styles for your bladelimb weapons, and a class variant just for Tieflings!
All homebrew is free to use and play in your own games! (Though a shoutout would be nice lol) -- Love, @aboleth-eye
P.S. Have fun with this homebrew class! I made it in an coldbrew coffee writing frenzy. lol
I write about fantasy and tabletop roleplaying games. Like, a lot.
Hey there friends! It's Aboleth Eye, your friendly Fantasy and D&D/TTRPG account. I've been refining a bunch of projects new and old recently, and am trying some new things to get more engagement with my people!
So I'm sharing my new Linktree, which is up to date with all my ongoing projects and socials! This Tumblr isn't going anywhere, I'm just making sure people know where to find my actively creative stuff!
Are you a fan of TTRPG design and homebrew (specifically D&D 3e/3.5 or PF 1e)? Then check out my new Aboleth Workshop blog! I've been bringing over years of my homebrew races, classes, etc. that I used to host on my side tumblr. Much more is on the docket, and more game design stuff beyond D&D/PF is on the way! Check it out here!
How about D&D campaign stories? My ongoing Ravenloft campaign has almost two whole Arcs free to read on my Freaks & Facades blog! Give our story (mine and my players') a read if you like gothic fantasy/horror and found family fun! We've also got player-made memes, special fiction interludes and artwork too!
I also have an official Aboleth Eye Discord, where my internet friends and I play ttrpgs, hang out and share what we love! Anyone is invited to join in the fun! Click the link for an invite! LGBTQIA+ friendly!
I've also got a Twitter, if that tickles your fancy. But I am waaaay more active on my Bluesky these days, sharing more personal thoughts and opinions there.
I hope to make even more amazing stories, homebrew and connections in the years to come!
In your own D&D 3e/3.5 campaigns, have you always wanted to fight with the powers of light and big elemental explosions? A pretty protector leaping over enemies to rescue your friends from the forces darkness? Channel the powers of goodness through awesome kickboxing and unique bursts of fire, water, earth and/or air?
Then check out the Valiant! A homebrew monk/battle dancer-based class inspired by the classic anime/tv genres of Mahou Shoujo (Sailor Moon/Pretty Cure/Cardcaptor Sakura/etc) and Sentai Tokusatsu (Power Rangers/Super Sentai/etc)!
Just did a major overhaul and expansion to the Valiant class recently! Added in tons of new options such as the Wildheart, Lostheart and Planar Valiant!

Hey there friends. I've decided to upload all my D&D 3e/3.5 Homebrew (and other TTRPG Writing) to a new blog.
It's a slow start but we're making progress, so give it a read if you like! And if there's a class or race or other homebrew idea I've made that you want uploaded and revised earlier, let me know!
Recently I haven't liked the organization for my homebrew--how each of my custom fantasy races, classes, etc were all scattered on different Google doc links and random posts on this side Tumblr. So I am collecting all my past homebrew and slowly uploading it all to a new blog - linked above!
Everything will still be available to read in my Homebrew Masterpost while I slowly upload everything over to the new blog. And it will remain, as ever, free to use for your own games/campaign (with credit please). I am doing some revisions while uploading, however; so if any class, race or other homebrew is published on the new blog--that is the most current and revised version.
Sadly, except for maybe answering Asks and responding to homebrew suggestions, I am not planning to upload any new projects to this side Tumblr. I will still be available to chat about homebrewing and ttrpg worldbuilding on here and my main blog @aboleth-eye, but this new blog is where I'll be posting updates about new 3e/3.5 content and any homebrew games--like future ideas for D20borne, the Land of the Lustrous ttrpg, and other new games I may work on.
And just in case, I am still uploading the story of my Ravenloft D&D campaign, Freaks & Facades, to its own Blog here!
Thanks for understanding, and for reading all this! I hope the new blog is a better tool for fans of ttrpgs and Dungeons & Dragons to get to see the versatility of D&D 3e/3.5 edition (which I forever stand as the best edition to this day, sorry not sorry lol).
Hey everyone, it’s Aboleth-Eye! You know, the blog who tried turning Bloodborne into a D&D 3.5-adjacent game and has been stumbling to get anything public and free out for the newer 2.0 draft version of the game. As I told my discord members, I decided at the beginning of October to finally put down a free semifinal draft of the d20borne Project game system and a starting bestiary before the month was out.
This month I really really tried to get something out there for everyone to use! But complications kept coming up both in and out of the game design process. Real life stuff got in the way, I expected that at the start. However, upon reflection while working on the d20borne Hunter’s Guide (a player/game master guide to the system) I made the unfortunate discovery that I would have to explain all the minutia of the d20 System for this new audience. I’m sure a lot of you know how D&D works in every edition, but I realized this might be someone’s first opportunity to play or host a d20 game. So I got bogged down with explaining a lot of the nitty gritty rules and abilities of d20.
It doesn’t help that a lot of the resources I could reference in this rehashing aren’t as supported anymore. As the d20borne Project is based on Dungeons & Dragons’ 3.5 edition, almost all the resources on the older d&d/Wizards of the Coast sites for the standard reference document are very out of date or bogged down by an ungodly amount of ads that make them hard to navigate.
So I’m chipping away at explaining the rules and abilities of the game system in my own way, and I’ll be doing that for a good while. With that endeavor now stretching out ahead of me, I am going to need more time to get something out. I can probably get a Bestiary out for you all to look at and give feedback on, but the Hunter’s Guide is going to take some time.
Thank you all for your patience. I hope this game interests a lot of you and you’ll have the d20borne Project in your hands soon (in digital form). I hope you all had a safe Halloween and a great, healthy next few months!
Hey Friends! From now on, I’ll be taking regular Worldbuilding and D&D/Tabletop RPG Asks every Friday!
I will try to answer as many questions as I can that day at @aboleth-workshop, while peppering in a few asks during the week so I don’t overwhelm your feeds.
I take all questions (keep it PG-13 ish please) regarding the following:
Dungeon Master Problems
Tabletop Horror Stories
Perpetual Problem Players
Campaign/World Creation Obstacles
How to get an idea working
D&D/Fantasy Races - discussion of canon, ask for new lore for older stuff, or share your own spin
Recommendations for D&D books and other TTRPGs (I’ve read a good few)
My Game Design:
Currently playtesting my D20borne (D&D Bloodborne) system
Want to see past D&D Asks? Click here for #d&d-ask, or the few ask masterposts I’ve done.
I’m deciding to put all my Worldbuilding and Tabletop Writing posts in Aboleth-Worshop, leaving my main blog ( @aboleth-eye ) for artwork, reblogging campaign ideas/stories, and other fun stuff!
And if you want to join my Discord where I post memes, host D&D Bloodborne and other rpgs, etc. Click here!!
Hey Friends, its @aboleth-eye! I haven’t received any asks for Friday Worldbuilding Asks so far; and so I decided to start off with a prompt.
Your World Changes in One Fell Swoop
What would happen if your setting (with all its preconceived ideals and aspects) were to suddenly merge with an entirely alien setting? What if a never seen before force or faction from a completely different world were to invade (or appear diplomatically)? Or, what if some terrible event undoes all the standards and knowledge of your world?
What big events would this change interrupt and put into perspective? The Final Battle to the War? The Wedding of the Century? The Celebration of a New Year? A Protagonist’s Graduation from University/Apprenticeship?
How would your original world’s denizens react? Peacefully? Horrified? Defensively?
What does this force/faction/group/event desire or create upon arrival? Peace? Destruction? Colonization? Trade? Survival? Nothing?
Was this change in your world planned? Did the new force arrive by design? Was the world-shaking disaster an accident?
What elements does this great change place/remove in the world? Magic resurfaces in your world, or has the power begun to fade? Technology to be shared from across the stars, or does all technology fails? Mutation and ascension, or abhorrent and virulent destruction?
Ask away: What settings or genres would you like to see merged? Do you have any ideas you’d like to share or get advice on successfully merging? Submit your ideas to @aboleth-workshop, and get sharing today!
