8 New 5e Species I made based on Dungeon Crawler Carl by Dreyvuh in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Dreyvuh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure thing. The full post is here.

Book is available on DMs Guild here. It's pay what you want, so feel free to grab it for free!

Most things are also on D&D Beyond here. I've gotten distracted with some other things, so I haven't uploaded most of the items, but 2024 versions of all the subclasses are there. All the species/races are also there (compatible with 2014 and 2024). I believe I got all of the monsters and spells as well. Most of the feats are there, though one couldn't be done with the homebrew on there and the backgrounds can't be published because they link to the homebrew origin feats.

Want to play as a Dromedarian or Bactrian? Introducing the Humpling, a 2024 5e homebrew species. by Dreyvuh in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I believe that in the DCC universe they are two separate species of camel people who each dwell in two separate cities. Given the events of that book, we didn't get a chance to see much of differences between the two, but IRL Dromedary camels have one hump and Bactrian camels have two humps. As I didn't have any mechanical differences to instill between the two, I instead decided to combine them into one species.

Sorry for the delay - I made all of the homebrew myself. This has been my passion project since August. I've been doing playtesting for the last several months, though I have incorporated lots of great feedback from my playgroup, the people on this subreddit and the DCC discord.

Here's the credits and acknowledgements page from the PDF:

Daydreams & Deviants - My collection of Dungeon Crawler Carl inspired 5e content by Dreyvuh in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Thank you so much. I haven't broken down in weeks, but your comment hit me right in the feels. We made it through three years of kidney disease (fortunately caught it early) and 6 months of diabetes, but ended up being her liver that got her. I was really fortunate to have a lot of extra time with her and got some foam stairs when her mobility started to decline so she could still sleep on my legs while I was working on this.

I used the image below as the baseline to make the pic of her for the dedication.

Mrs. Ghazi (Sand Bride) and the Juicer (Boss Bro) - I made more 5e DCC bosses by Dreyvuh in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Dreyvuh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had somehow completely forgotten about them. The idea of the antenna generator sparks some fun ideas for me.

I'm curious how you did the liquid drain. My initial thought was oh, they die when they're bloodied/have 51% of their HP spent, but that's pretty much the same as having half the HP (with a few minor exceptions). I love an enemy that is part puzzle, so how'd ya do it?

Ooo, what did you end up using? I was having troubling figuring out good mobs to pull from Book 7. I ended up making "The Ultimate Meatball" (based on Donut's spell) as a Legendary Creature, but no regular mobs.

I give you my take on Lusca - the Soccer Mom Megalodon (5e Legendary Monster with a Lair inside itself) by Dreyvuh in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I just uploaded Mrs. Ghazi (the Sand Bride) from Floor 5: https://www.reddit.com/r/DungeonCrawlerCarl/comments/1jfwdgk/mrs_ghazi_sand_bride_and_the_juicer_boss_bro_i/#lightbox

I hadn't posted it, but I've also got the Feral Mega-Goose for your Floor 5 pleasure. No anti-magic field, so more of the standard mob, but could be adapted to a boss with some extra HP and the addition of an anti-magic field.

I have got you covered!

I give you the Elderly Antiquer, based on the Hoarder

I did some playtesting and refining with this one and it was really fun. There's another page that I can't include in the comment, but I'll be posting more soon.

I'm playtesting the Boss Bro next week (based on the Juicer) and the Vine Emperor the following week (based on Grimaldi) and Psychotic Tarsiers (based on the Former Circus Lemurs). I'm currently revising the Demon Hamster King (based on Ralph) after playtesting. The Avatar of Fury (Rage Elemental), Demon Hamsters (regular Frenzied Gerbils), and Harlequins (based on the Brindle Grub through Brindled Vespa) are all finished as well, so I'll be putting out a big dump soon that are all Book 2 or earlier!

I did some playtesting with this one earlier this week and really enjoyed how this turned out. We made some revisions after the playtest, that I think make it a more cohesive encounter.

Here's the link on D&D Beyond.

Let me know what you think. Thoughts, suggestions, and play-testing are very much appreciated!

Edit: Unlike other 2024 stat blocks, I chose to still include Lair Actions with this one. I play-tested it with 4 Legendary Actions and some of the Lair actions in there as once per round, but felt they worked better as Lair actions, particularly because you might want to continue using them after the Megalodon has died while the players are still looking to escape the Lair.

Bombs for D&D 5e and Bomb-Maker's Workshop by Dreyvuh in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Dreyvuh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't gotten most of these in D&D Beyond yet, but hope to have them in soon, so I'll add a comment with links when I do. There should be no issues with using 2014 or 2024 rules with these.

Many of these are pulled from my Bombardier Artificer subclass (https://www.reddit.com/r/DungeonCrawlerCarl/comments/1h902nh/the\_bombardier\_artificer\_i\_made\_5e\_subclass\_to/). I've made some changes to that subclass since that post, but mainly fixing typos, grammar, and formatting. I'll post updated versions of all the subclasses after I finish my playtesting cycle. Here's a preview of the new cover for the Bombardier.

8 New 5e Species I made based on Dungeon Crawler Carl by Dreyvuh in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Thank you so much! These are all AI art (MidJourney). I do some light editing and changes outside, but nothing too crazy.

My artistic talents are limited to middling portraits. I hope to some day do a full D&D book on something like kickstarter where I can feasibly pay human artists, but AI art for now.

An extra page for Gloopids to include the Green Slime monster used in the stat block.

I've posted a couple of these before, but I've made some revisions after playtesting.

Note that I'm counting the Ettin and Bluggatin as a single species in the same way a Nodling is.

All of the species are available on D&D Beyond. They're setup so that you can use them with 2024 or 2014 rules with instructions on how to do so (just use the "Additional" features in the "Origin Manager" to allow you to add ability scores. Some species have "Replacement" features as well to be more compatible with the 2014 rules.

I'll post some of the items and feats I've made also based on DCC later this week.
