Welcome to the Forest Valley

Hello, there! I'm Stephen Collins. I've been playing D&D and other TTRPGs since 1980 (with a long break in the middle for life and career reasons).

Forest Valley Games is my way of sending my game design thoughts and content into the universe. Here you'll find a mix of 5e/5.5e-based things such as explanations of how real-world physics and other things might affect your game world, changes to spells and magic items because magic should never "just work", and various other bits and pieces of gameplay, tweaking, and original adventure material.

I'm a designer and writer by trade, now living on 100 acres of protected native bushland in the Bega Valley of New South Wales. Occasionally, you might also see content about living in the bush.

Human made. No AI. Ever.
