PJO Greek Demigod Homebrew

So I did this fun little thing and made a DND Percy Jackson Greek Demigod race expansion!

I love the Percy Jackson universe and everything that came after and decided I had to find a way to incorporate it into my games!

This can also be altered only slightly and perfect for Pathfinder! I include how to do so at the bottom of the guide.

Over the summer, I made a TikTok giving an overview of a quick-build for demigods and included lots of recommendations on subclasses (and trust me I dug for these let me tell you) that fit almost all of the godly parents on this list. You can find that here

Additionally, I know much is changing in the DND world and TTRPG in general right now, so I did include this message in the guide:

This expansion has the unfortunate timing of releasing at the same time as the changed OGL 1.1 announcement in January 2023 but this was already created ahead of time and I wanted to make sure and release it before I returned to uni for another semester. I do not and cannot profit off of this guide as it is essentially fanfiction for the Riordanverse, however, neither does Wizards of the Coast (not that they would unless somehow I made like one million dollars off of this which would not happen). So I hope you will thoroughly enjoy this guide.

This homebrew is quite literally a homebrew, made by a fan for fans. And I truly hope you enjoy it :) And again, as this is a homebrew, feel free to adjust it to fit your game, whether that's something in DND or Pathfinder or even a Star Wars realm or something along those lines. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, whatever is to come.

Go forth, enjoy the homebrew, and get ready for the Percy Jackson TV show and Percy's quests to get letters of recommendation poor Percy like come on he deserves some rest

Enjoy it here! And please share updates with what you and your crew gets up to!

Snowed In (981 Words)

“It is by no exaggeration that I would rather freeze to death than-” I spat those words at him, my breath fogging in my face.

“Oh really? Maybe I should let you-” Andri snarked back.

An snippet of an enemies to lovers fantasy romance holiday story (Hallmark Movie esque). But this is really just the enemies part oops Merry Christmas

“It is by no exaggeration that I would rather freeze to death than-” I spat those words at him, my breath fogging in my face.

“Oh really? Maybe I should let you-” Andri snarked back.

“-maybe-”

“-but then it’d be my responsibility anyway. I’d just freeze later having to dig through the snow to drag you inside anyway so I’m telling you to go inside before-”

“Before what?”

The “protector” of the forest cocked his head to the side and I jumped back, seeing what he was about to do.

I wasn’t quick enough though and he grabbed my legs, throwing me over his shoulder.

“Set me down!” I shouted.

“Careful. You might want to scream louder and attract all the beasts looking for a meal that’s not frozen yet.”

I silenced my voice at that.

“Oh, come on, Darcy. I thought you and your little witch powers could survive anything?”

“I can,” I muttered, squirming more in his grasp.

He carried me the entire way back inside. An embarrassingly long amount of time, talking to me like it was normal the entire way there.

“So what brings you out to the middle of the woods in the middle of a blizzard?” he would start.

“Set me down.”

“Why can’t you just ride your broom home?”

“Oh I’ll show you what it can do.”

“Say, do you know any spells to stay warm.”

“I know one for lighting things on fire.”

All I could see was the white of the snow below me, some areas gathering snow more quickly than the rest. I had arrived to the forest that morning, but the snow only started an hour ago. By the time I saw the text from my mom that it was a freak storm moving in rapidly from some rogue ice spirits, I knew it would be difficult to make it home in time.

Especially when my fucking broom wasn’t working.

After what felt like a lifetime, he finally set me down on the front porch of a house where I just stared at him.

“There’s no way you’re getting home with this weather,” he told me. “So dust off and come inside.”

I stared at him.

“Well?”

“Ugh,” I groaned, pulling off my toque.

He smiled just slightly and I almost pitched myself into the snowbank when I felt that little turn in my stomach.

I wasn’t here for pleasure. Far from the opposite.

But a client was looking for a special herb they thought they could find a cure to the same disease that killed my father with. And I would do anything to keep that from happening to anyone else.

“Why were you even in the forest today?” he asked, taking my scarf off and shaking it out. He was brushed off.

“I was running more tests,” I told him.

“Still trying to find those herbs?”

I nodded.

“Didn’t I tell you I would help you the next time you needed something? After you nearly died the last?”

“I didn’t nearly die-”

“I’m going to if you don’t hurry up and get inside I swear the ice spirits are crawling into my bones,” he said, finishing getting the snow off of me.

“Alright, alright,” I told him, scuttling inside and taking off my boots. It wasn’t much warmer inside until I snapped towards the fire and reignited the flame.

“So you really can light things on fire.”

“Of course.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” he said. “Did you find anything?”

“No,” I mumbled. “Maybe you will next time if you have some help,” he added.

We stood in his entryway for a moment. This cottage, it had to be his. Who else would live in this woods if they didn’t have to by some bloodsworn oath?

It was cozy, but bigger than I would’ve guessed. He had a kitchen, a sitting area. A workshop type space that seems to be set up on the dining room table. I would assume there would be something out back as well-

“You may as well make yourself comfortable,” he said after a moment of very awkward staring and looking off.

I turned back to look at him.

“Why?”

“You really haven’t seen anything about the blizzard?”

“Blizzard?”

“What do you call that outside?”

“A snow storm that will pass,” I told him.

He laughed. “Well that explains why you were so determined to hunker down when there was a perfectly acceptable shelter right around the corner.”

“But a blizzard?”

“Yes-”

“And how was I supposed to know that you had a cottage right here?”

“Where did you think I lived?”

I looked at him. I couldn’t tell him that up until that point I almost assumed he just slept outside all the time.

Andri narrowed his eyes.

“Well,” I started. “I assumed you had somewhere.”

“Somewhere?”

“Off,” I gestured vaguely before taking off my coat and boots. “Off somewhere.”

He bit down a laugh before releasing a chuckle.

“Like some forest man? Or in a cave? Or do I climb into a tree?”

“Oh like you’ve never slept in either of those positions,” I retorted.

“But not permanently,” he responded. “And it was a very comfortable tree might I add.”

“Sure-”

I jumped when something touched my legs and only realized then we were inches away from the other.

“Oh-” I cut myself off when I realized it was just a black cat.

“Oh, you’ve met Orion.” Andri bent down and stroked their fur.

I tried to convince myself not to have a heart attack.

“I have,” I said, trusting my voice not to waver then and bending down to extend a hand.

Orion accepted the hand and rubbed against it.

“Now tell me again how you were going to survive a blizzard with creatures actively trying to eat you if you’re terrified of a cat?” he said, smiling at me.

I hope you enjoyed it!

so basically I posted on tiktok right after Thanksgiving that I wanted to write this fantasy romance Hallmark Christmas movie novella. Big combo but like they've never done it before.

I tagged Hallmark and then Netflix. No response rip so it looks like I didn't get picked up to write the 2023 Christmas romcom of the season but I did promise to post something before the holidays

I promised I would write a word per like but now I'm getting a bit carried away and want to write like 1-2k and post that. I didn't have time to do a full novella not before Christmas but...

here's a snippet :)

I yelped as the broom fell a few feet down before restabilizing. “Alright,” I muttered under my breath. “This will be fine. It will” I fell the rest of the way and landed hard on my back. In the mud.

“If the rest of the trip goes like this,” I muttered to myself, getting up, “it will be a very long trip.” I spoke a cleaning spell and the mud flew off myself but my broom didn’t get back in the air. I glanced along the sides and felt some unsteady energy. I can’t trust this before I give it a good cleansing. I sighed. I was a few miles out of town still. But walking it was.

I didn’t get too far before I heard a horse trotting up behind me. I kept my eyes on the road ahead of me, my bag floating alongside me and my broom over my shoulder. The horse slowed and I didn’t even look until they were right beside me and speaking. “You know most witches ride those instead of carrying them,” a deep voice came from beside me. Definitely not from the horse.

let me know if you want to get tagged in my future writing!
