Trash King's 5e Homebrewery

An eldritch reliquary for Homebrew content, specifically 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons. https://ko-fi.com/trashkinghomebrew All original homebrews are tagged #trashking5e, all reblogged content is tagged #tkreblog. I also post information about my Homebrew campaign and setting, "The Ballad of Bonds and Blood" and the realm of Vast respectively, here as well (tagged #bobab) - feel free to ask me about my world!

Hi, I'm thinking of making a homebrew Warlock Patron, but I don't know where to start. Could you maybe put up a guide of some sort?

I can recommend the Create-A-Patron: A Warlock Patron Creation Guide by Matthew Gravelyn. You can find it on DMSguild, and it breaks down the creation process! I believe they have guides for other classes too that are worth checking out!

I’ve been trying new things, and this probably isn’t for everyone so I’ll just be posting it once, BUT I’m learning digital art and I thought a fun way to do that would be through making fake pokemon, or fakemon. 

The region is called Mythos (wow good name A+), loosely based on fantasy creatures, science fiction, and folklore I like, plus designs I just think are fun.

I know my art isn’t great, I can’t shade and don’t understand color theory yet, but I figure I should post it because why not I like attention?

This is really more of an ask than anything, so, sorry about that. But I just started posting D&D homebrew on my blog and it feels like they're falling on deaf ears. I've gotten no notes, or anything. It's very disheartening. Do you have any words of advice?

I just use TONS of hashtags? I've noticed once I started formatting with images they've gotten more views/notes. I'm bad to ask because I literally do three-four homebrews then go MIA for a month or two.l

Is it okay to put one of your homebrews in the dndbeyond builder so I can use it for a character?

Oh my goodness I never saw this but yes of course

[trashkingshomebrew]

Hey king, has there been any progress on your swordmage class? Been hoping to see how its going!

Wow, I never see notifications this one is probably so old but uhh no I scrapped it because it was overly complicated and it was pretty overpowered? Also I was discouraged because I saw a lot of other people doing Swordmages that were a lot more thought out.

I’m new to d&d and I just wanted to say that I think your blog is like the coolest things ever!!!

Woah, thank you so much!!! I think your message is the coolest thing ever!!!

1st draft of the School of Origami homebrew. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find a picture of an old man doing origami, or stylized old people in paper armor.

Obviously Duo-Dimension is inspired directly from the AD&D 2e spell of the same name, and the idea of a paper caster is very inspired by Cio of KSBD. 

As always, I homebrew strong and then power down as revisions go. Enjoy!

The 2nd revision of the Circle of Wildskeepers, now the Circle of Wardens. A druidic hexblade-esque warrior that wreathes themselves in nature’s embrace, magically crafting armor and weapons from the local flora and fauna. A Warden of the swamps may wreathe themselves in rotting wood, moss, and bone while a Warden of the jungle may have armor comprised of strangling vines, carnivorous plants, and the decayed pelts of the predators who hunt within.

2nd Revision of The Great Wolf patron. Back the pack with the bestial fury bestowed upon you by the alpha themselves. Part of my journey to go back and reflect on old homebrew, make it look nicer with images, and adding a little ~spice~ (aka homebrew spells).

Do I have followers from the Upstate/Central New York area?

[trashkingshomebrew]

Oh, I'm asking because my new project is turning Upstate/CNY into the Fallout Universe for a possible GURPS campaign and I don't know much about my state outside of the greater Syracuse area and would love cool locations or weird history to turn into world anvil articles to join the other 150+ I've made so far.

PLUS if I do successfully (in my mind) finish the project I've gotta have people in the region to play, obviously

let me make horrible creatures for your horror campaigns

[trashkingshomebrew]

Stalking beneath the dark of a forest canopy, a droning wail fills the air. The Vespani Manhunter, an monster statblock that serves as a sneak peak into another insectoid race crawling from the Broodmother’s Tome, the Vespani, a race of bee-like creatures that infest and animate the corpses of those lost to the woods.

Embrace the arcane with the Oath of the Weave, or at least my take on an old homebrew favorite. 2nd Revision. 

[trashkingshomebrew]

Revised the *Path of the Beheader* to reflect what it actually is; a very obvious homage to Head Lopper, a comic written and drawn by  Andrew MacLean. I felt I had to add a lot of flavor notes to properly reflect the theme of the class, but honestly most of it can be changed or ignored. This will be one of many of my revisions on previous classes, subclasses, races, and misc. homebrew I have made to make it more readable and presentable. I hope you enjoy!

[trashkingshomebrew]

Revising an older insectoid race, the Makari, now known as the Lepikari (Mothfolk in common tongue). A race of beautiful, moth-like humanoids connected via an emotional hivemind, straight from the Broodmother’s Tome. I hope you like bugs.

[trashkingshomebrew]

Ahh, you’ve turned another page in the Broodmother’s Tome! In the aftermath of the invasion of Erz’siv, the Sivmalum suffers the most. A chitinous insectoid human subrace. A little tidbit: The prefix “Siv” seen in a few insectoid races means “belongs to Erz’siv”.

Edit: Uh oh, I get excited with first drafts and typos are a thing. In the little italicized intro, it should say, "those unlucky enough to not perish".
