This week, the Auroboros: Coils of the Serpent Kickstarter fulfilled digitally. It’s a campaign setting for Dungeons and Dragons 5E along with new races, subclasses, and a magic system.

I had the incredible opportunity of being able to work with Warchief and contribute to this project’s Game Design and Setting.

Specifically, I helped build:

• The Salamar Race
• The Way of Eminence Monk Subclass
• The Souleater Warlock Subclass
• The Mark of the Serpent Magic System
• The DM Screen
• Building Adventures - The DM’s section of the rulebook
• The Cities of Innis, Skarborough, Baker, and Feyonnas

​

​

The goal of the book was to bring to life the campaign setting that Chris ran for his friends before his time at Blizzard. While we developed the book, we took on the additional goal of building the world in such a way that Dungeon Masters could easily rip out whichever parts they liked - cities, classes, or magic systems - to utilize in their games.

​

Update: Since writing this post, Auroboros has fully fulfilled and is now for sale on Amazon. I’ve added a updated some of the above list items with links to reviews of my work.

As a Homebrew GM myself with plans to create a book, I couldn't have been more impressed and inspired by the work that was done on this book. I have only just skimmed through the book since receiving it today and wow.. Not only is the world created by Chris Metzen and his friends incredible, the game design features of the book are very well thought out. From the new races and subclasses, to some awesome new spells, this book will 100% excite any DnD 5e fan. I look forward to more additions to this wonderful world.
