I’ve been kind of AWOL lately from blog posts and promotions. The reason is, I have been focusing on a D&D 5e game I am running for my daughter and her cousins over Fantasy Grounds and other game I have with my wife and others, also over Fantasy Grounds. It is that first game I want to talk about right now. For most of them, then is their first chance at playing a long D&D campaign. So I am introducing them to a number of tropes, including the infamous owlbear. Since they’re level 4 and an owlbear is a challenge 3, I wanted to give them something a bit more to the encounter than just the one. So I created a baby owlbear, something for the big one to protect. I don’t have it planned for any book in the near future but I am sure it will be used at some point and I thought I would share it with you now. Enjoy.

Absolutely just added this to my game. Love it
Thanks – added them to campaign – Party manage to discover 3 Owlbear eggs and they are about to hatch.
Enjoy. I hope they love/hate them.
