This is a homebrew setting that has been my passion project for like almost 5 years born of love and passion for Soulsborne and Gothic/Lovecraftian Horror. I really hope to run more campaigns/one shots in this setting but I'm excited to share my work and hope you enjoy it just as much as me :D

An art piece depicting a gothic city square with moonlit buildings a fountain and a dead body on some steps with a sheet of paper on the bottom left corner which reads as follows: "Join the Hunt! Voltarian Citizens your city needs you. The beasts of the Howling Scourge are at your door! Take up arms and take back the streets from the monsters that prowl them. Join the Church of the Old Faith's Hunters and become a champion of your city." at the bottom is a coat of arms with a symbol of a pair of crosses overlapped with the phrase: "Benedictus per Sanguinem"

Still very WIP with some of the stuff but here is a new look at Voltaria the Dreamless City.

As the Howling Scourge becomes a more dangerous threat to the city, its up to the citizens of Voltaria to combat the beasts at their door.

Absolute cinema (I must see this crit)

Defos something especially new GMs need to know. You’re never gonna get everything 100% right all the time so it’s fine to just make a quick call and sort it out once play is over

Silver Standard Uncommon, Trick Weapon (Coin/Shortsword) (Requires Attunement) An unassuming silver coin with the scratched out head of a wolf on one side and a symbol of a sword on the other. This odd weapon was made by a hunter who always claimed to be blessed by lady luck. When this coin is flipped it transforms into a elegant silver shortsword. Transforming Weapon. This weapon can alternate between two states Transformed (Shotsword) and Untransformed (Coin). You can use a reaction to alternate between these two forms whenever you choose. Coin Hurl (Untransformed). You can make a special ranged attack with this coin throwing it with supernatural force at a creature within 30/90 ft. of you on a hit you deal 1d4 force damage. Regardless if you hit or miss the coin reappears in your hand so long as it’s empty. Cross and Pile (Transformed). after transforming this weapon roll a 1d2. If you roll a 1 you gain a +1 to all attack and damage rolls with this weapon if you roll a 2 you gain a -1 to all attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.

I've been getting back into the groove of designing trick weapons for my setting and this one has been my favourite so far.

One of my favourite maps to design and make on stream.

a humble little fort left out in the wood home to some nefarious bandits!

My heart goes out to those affected by this horrible fire in Glasgow. I’ve walked past that corner countless times and it hurts my soul it in such a state.

Looking more into this and I’m very hyped, stuff they’ve shown in playtest materials have me so excited for these books it’s unreal

It’s just so peak

Ooo interesting I love the idea of some of those so much! For me I had a decent few written up from something like a dagger which would turn into a spear or a lance that would become a cannon.

I have like pages worth of trick weapons lol

That’s gnarly as hell omg. Pretty fucking cool tho

Trick Weapons hold a special place for me as they're simply so cool in concept. Can't wait to show off some more of the ones I've designed :3

"When the moon rises the Hunt begins anew. Citizens board their doors, mark their routes and pray to the Old Faith in the hope they are spared from this curse of madness."

I've been having a lot of fun working on these little scenes and pieces and I hope you like em too! :3

Hoi hoi I'm Synn! a scottish nerd who loves #D&D and gothic horror! I design and make a lot of maps and homebrew content and finally got around to making an account specifically for that lol

I am a Vtuber and Streamer outside of #TTRPG stuff (I stream making battle maps sometimes)

A top down view of a large battle map. It's meant to depict an asylum type location left in decay and ruin with some occult activity occurring within

Some things are better left forgotten...

Enter Felicity Gardens. A location with a history of twisted experiments and cruel medicine, now a home to something occult.

This was one of the larger maps I had designed for my #D&D game and was one of my favourite.

An image with the following written on it: Firing Spear Trickweapon (Spear/Flintlock), Uncommon A trick weapon of the Sanctified Workshop. Found in the hands of hunters who often play the role of bodyguards or in use of hunters who prowl the vast woodlands surrounding Voltaria. Transforming Weapon. As a reaction you can alternate between a Veiled (Spear) and Unveiled (Flintlock) forms. Veiled. In this form the weapon is a spear with the silvered property. When you land an attack with this weapon you can use a reaction to reload the flintlock. Unveiled. In this form the weapon is a flintlock. You can perform melee attacks with this weapon. You use your Strength modifier for attack and damage rolls and on a hit you deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage.

As a concept I love the idea of trick weapons! Especially with how much fun designing them is.

Here is a fairly simple one from my #Homebrew setting of Voltaria:
#D&D #5E

I’m personally a big fan of it, I think it’s necessary for players to keep them guessing and something than can make for some fun moments :D

Yessss I love that these kinds of things never fail to make combat more memorable and challenging

I love how every time Bitsy is animated she gets more and more bizarre and horrifying

A top down view of a dark and gothic city map. to the right there is a large cathedral with the text "The Eternal Lady's Cathedral" above it to the left is some text that reads "Curia Ward" and "Cathedral of the Good Blood"

I am loving how the map for my #Homebrew setting is coming along. Not too much longer till the City of Voltaria's map is done (I hope)
#Inkarnate #D&D

DMs what are some things you do to make combat more interesting?

I personally love introducing environmental obstacles stuff like pits, fire, heavy rain, etc. it makes players think a bit more tactically about their movement and positioning.

An image showing a D&D 5th Edition statblock for a monster called the Greater Scourged Beast. Greater Scourged Beast A towering terror of the moonlit streets. This beast is the apex of Howling Scourge–the point where the affliction of beasthood has utterly consumed the soul and body. Greatly enlarged and driven by a endless hunger, possessing fangs, claws capable of tearing through steel with ease and rending any obstacle in its path. Scourged Alpha These great beasts are rarely found alone, acting as leaders and pack alphas to Scourged of all kinds. Their presence alone turns a common infestation into a coordinated slaughter.

"𝐼𝓃 𝓂𝓎 𝒹𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂𝓈, 𝐼 𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇 𝒾𝓉'𝓈 𝓈𝓃𝒶𝓇𝓁𝓈" - An Old Hunter's Journal.

One of the greater forms the Howling Scourge takes, the Greater Scourged Beast was one of the first statblocks I made for Voltaria when I was thinking of possible encounters and combats that could happen.

OMG YESSS I would love to see that 👉👈
