The Faerie Ring is an upcoming book for D&D 5E and Pathfinder which focuses on fey monsters, races, and more. It's designed to bring in the fey mythos, with mysterious and powerful fey lords, locations, and more. The folks behind it have sent along some enticing previews for me to share with you. "The Faerie Ring expands the fey options for both players and GMs using either Pathfinder Roleplaying Game or 5E and creates new opportunities for meddling where you probably shouldn't. It introduces new fey monsters, playable fey races and other character options, fey big bads or patrons (or both!), fey cities and planes and other locales, and more."
The new playable races look interesting. Over a dozen of them: fir bolg, bitterclaws, darklings, goodfellows, wyrd, putti, twilight children, black hats, far darrig, kitsune, matabiri, sidhe. The fir blog are Celtic warrior fey, led by Slaine, their king, who were nearly destroyed by Morrigan and her sidhe, now living as scavengers and nomads. There's also the putti, plant-creatures which resemble floating purple-skinned babies. Or the twilight children, which are changelings who live in the shadows. There's a whole load of races.
It has a heck of a "cast" too -- amongst the plethora of folks working on this thing, you can count Steven Helt (and the Horsemen), Monica Marlowe, Ben McFarland, Sarah Madsen, Mike Welham, Todd Stewart, Liz Courts, Savanah Broadway, BJ Hensley, David Schwartz, John Bennett, Clinton Boomer, Wolfgang Baur, and Scott Gable. That's quite a lot of design expertise there.
It's a Kickstarter, of course -- just head on over to back the project. It needs a bit of loving -- with 12 days to go, it's not halfway to its goal yet, and it really looks like a book that deserves to get made. The same folks created the successful It Came From The Stars Kickstarter a while back. You get both PDFs (Player and GM) for $30, or just one for $15. The two books in print are $35 and $55 respectively,or $75 for both, all in full colour.
