Yeah, that's what happens when you post in haste at 10.30 in the evening! July, y'all, July. It's coming out next Friday :) (Thanks, I've edited it now)

In this book, you can do exactly that! In preparation for Rime of the Frost Maiden, and to support our existing Whitefaire Adventurer's Guide, the Dark Peaks are pleased to announce that we are publishing an brand new adventure book on Dungeon Master's Guild on the 17th of July! This is the...

The Dark Peaks publishing line has had two very positive reviews of their latest books: "...if you are a fan of OSR-style brutal dungeon hacks you’ll likely get a kick out of The Festival of Swords' The Australian Tabletop Gaming Network enjoyed a session playing the Dark Peaks Introductory...

Before you say anything, I started writing this long before the announcement of 'Rime of The Frost Queen." I literally published 'Whitefaire Adventurer's Guide" on the day which the IWD book was announced. Needless to say, I was ... pissed! Anyway, we've launched a new D&D 5e adventure...

Hello all my annoyed linguists :), We've got many different types of species within the Dark Peaks, from Dusklings to Humans to Taurs of all kinds. This one, unsurprisingly, is the Crocotaur. This is a WIP, so we've not done the shading level yet, but you can see what we're going for. The...

The Whitefaire Adventurer's Guide is the latest adventure sourcebook for the world's geatest roleplaying game. This book gives all the information that players and DM's will need to create epic adventures in the cold north of Faerun Created independently by the Dark Peaks team, this 96 page...

And before you say anything, I was working on this well before I knew about the WOTC Icewind Dale supplement. This is my addition to the DMSguild - the Adventurer's Guide to Whitefaire. It's a homebrew realm of amber and Frostkin, where you can fight from a sledge while riding across an...

I love that the theme of this thread has very much been "I get it, but my linguistics brain goes urgh." I totally understand that. It's not a perfect solution, but I was riffing off a concept and honestly, it was hard to think of something original. Given how fantasy gaming has already...

AD&D is what, the early 80's? That is some old school lore right there. It's a great drawing though. What do you think of the Liontaur artwork?

Oh yeah - that's a really good point. I didn't notice that, honestly I just thought it looked really cool. Getting art made of ideas the team might have had is definitely one of the more exciting experiences of game development, so it tends to blind me to the details of the image. I tend to just...

Wow, that's awesome. I wouldn't imagine that from the name though! Is this a 3.5 edition monster?

The Centaur is a great example - thank you. I didn't think of that. Like you said, I just want people to get the concept/drift. It saves time for players if you say 'crocotaur' and everyone can imagine almost exactly the creature I'm describing. I love D&D but some of the names in that are...

I'm not remotely offended, thanks for the comment - good to get some engagement! You are, of course, correct. The use of Taurus is also there to represent the bull too. However, I'd argue that in common usage if you said minotaur to someone they'd think 'half bull, half man' (whether...

No, I'm lying. She's not sleeping at all, she's sharpening the edge of her Chakram throwing disk. If someone should be brave enough to enter her territory - she'll cut their damn head off...
