To be fair, this is more of a reprint of their earlier book, with a few bits and bobs added.

My question about the spell is, do they also add their con mod to the HP regained. Is HD+con mod assumed when they say “Spend a hit die” or is that rule more specifically for short rests?

Have you head about siegeball? It’s a fun in-game sport. https://store.magehandpress.com/products/siegeball-sourcebook

I am not associated with Mage Hand Press, but have been a huge fan of theirs for years and support them on their Patreon (so I hope it's ok to geek out about this here instead of in the promotions forum). They just launched an awesome book on Kickstarter titled Valda's Spire of Secrets. It's...

I haven’t played it... only read it. It’s an interesting plot, but feels a bit railroaded. I was also confused about how the characters are supposed to survive. The whole adventure takes place over just a few in-game days. They only get a handful of long rests from level 3-15.

Also read it but haven’t run/played it. A lot of the earlier episodes feel thematically similar: you need X so you can proceed on your main mission, but before you can have X the person who has it now needs you to do Y. The latter half is very sandboxy. I’m not really good at running sandboxes...

I really like Mage Hand Press’s witch class ( Witch ) It’s a full caster with a familiar that’s focused on debuffs. It has some elements that remind me of my limited understanding of PF’s witch, and it does some things differently.

Yeah. It seems to be the frame for a Konami slot machine. You can see a clear picture and read a description of the game here: Konami Releases New DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Video Slot Games with Dungeon Maze and Monster Battle Bonuses

That seems like an editorial slip. It’s supposedly based on a unicorn, which does have legendary actions. I’d bet it was originally meant to be a beefed up unicorn stat block to be level appropriate, and somewhere along the way the legendary actions got lost. I’m not sure how much adding the...

1. I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a book a person, but I would handwave it. 2. Candlekeep has some security and stuff but isn’t exactly in the law enforcement sector. They handle internal issues and Candlekeep-threatening issues. Not a random dude (however plot-important) from Baldur’s...

Yeah, I was anticipating it would be a "problem-of-the-week" episodic plot with the characters working for the library (I even thought about what the library would call them... I'm currently thinking "the Invoked"). ZZT also doesn't list a DC for lockpicking the book, so presumably the intent...

I don't think it would be terribly difficult to string them together in a campaign. I haven't read all the way through it yet (I'm reading Zikran's Zephyrean Tome right now, which is what brought me to this thread with a question I'll ask further in the post). So far, the biggest issue is in...

The map of the village shows it having less than 100 buildings, but many of those may be stables, barns, outhouses, sheds, etc. The map has the town fitting within a 1000’x700’ rectangle (if not a bit smaller). The keep is stated to have 20 defenders already actively defending the walls, but...

Because other people create the FG packages and its system just reads them. (I’m probably not using the right terminology at all... I don’t use FG.) Beyond, on the other hand, has a very anemic user-facing programming side, so it would be very difficult and sometimes even impossible for...

Check out the piggy bank in the gift guide section. It looks like a book, and it’s cover looks like one of the special edition covers, but it’s not a cover we’ve seen yet. It’s a gnoll face. I wonder if that’s a hint about 2021’s adventure.
