In today’s post we’re covering the second half of Ports of the World. Massalia is a Roman city where a PC who knows Thieves’ Cant can find a sign indicating a hidden safe house. Inside are two bodies of Roman soldiers, and a looted chest containing only a note hinting at the beginning of the...

The problem is that the author has chosen to signal-boost hateful reactionaries on social media. The portrayal of a Fantasy Counterpart Catholicism is definitely a concern. But I'm much more concerned about a guy who seems to think that Elon Musk, who spreads conspiracy theories about Jews...

To answer your question, there are random encounters that can result in damage to the PCs' ships, but the idea of gradually losing hit points/hardiness just from sailing for prolonged periods doesn't happen with this system. Additionally, the "seaworthiness" of vessels is mostly influenced by...

A good sandbox is in need of ways for the DM to generate all sorts of treasures, encounters, and adventure hooks, and Tools & Tables is dedicated to this purpose. Seafaring Encounters is the first and most in-depth section of the chapter. It draws from a d100 table, separated by columns of the...

Glad to hear that it interests you. I feel that this product's appeal is rather niche in the 5e scene, even moreso than Adventurer's Guide to the Bible. Still worth showcasing, but I imagine it can be a hard sell to many gamers. Sadly, there's no dedicated rules for three-dimensional ship...

Factions represent geo-political groups and international organizations that hold sway in the setting. In fact, the system originated in Adventurer’s Guide to the Bible, and more or less imports the core mechanics here but with some new additions like Contracts Tables. Simply put, the PCs can...

First off, I’d like to note that the four sections I’m reviewing are not done in order with how they’re presented in the book. The reality is that the sections most relevant to each other are located quite far apart. The entry on Ships starts at page 27, but their Upgrades are way back in the...

Drive-Thru RPG Store Page. Back around mid-late 2022, Red Panda Publishing came onto the scene with a rather daring product: the Adventurer’s Guide to the Bible. Taking place during the life and times of Jesus Christ, it was an open world historical fantasy sandbox. Drawing heavily from...

Well, the Graze weapon mastery trait brought Damage on a Miss to the system, something which was too hot to handle even for 4e. So one could say that 2024 D&D out-4es 4e.

Over on RPGnet, a reader of this Let’s Read asked how the iron golem mecha works, and I figured others might be interested as well. It uses the stats as per the monster, but multiple PCs can climb inside. It still absorbs fire damage, but those inside take half the amount of said damage due to...

Chapter 3: Under the Sun Sandy deserts, rocky badlands, and various other kinds of desolate wastelands, these one-shots take place in areas where the environment itself is a deadly threat all its own. Some of the more notable adventures include Flower Power, where a druid hires the PCs to...

Quote from the front page: This is concerning news. The wiki was a valuable resource for the setting, and I hope that as much of the old articles get restored.

Official store page. While the most popular 5e adventures are longer campaigns, a significant amount of gaming groups cannot commit to such lengthy endeavors. Be it testing the waters with new players, giving people the opportunity to try out alternate PC builds, or just a short change of pace...

Beast World One Night at Holly’s by Zeusdex of Fur Affinity. While the worlds covered so far in this thread have certain anthropomorphic people with prominent roles in history and society, we haven’t had one where said groups were front and center. Enter the Beast World, a relatively new...

The linked Discord already has someone violating the "no politics" rule and hasn't really been criticized for it yet as far as I saw. It was when someone posted their own YouTube video about the removal of drow and orcs. The video maker also talked about Jeremy Crawford making changes to remove...

Vinyotian D10 Encounters Vibin in Venice by SoftMare of Fur Affinity. These encounters are designed specifically for the Trade League of Vinyot. Conflict A group of bank robbers (Thug stats) are attempting to break open a portable safe. A magical trap is primed to go off if it is opened...

Normally I would let this thread fade into the ether, but with the recent post updating the thread I am inclined to point out that this book's publisher, Pulp Hummock Press, has come out in favor of the "anti-woke" side of the culture wars on their Twitter account. Not so much direct statements...
