DM's Guild Store Page. Back in 2021, a group of gamers got together under the moniker of Giant Space Hamster Press to write an in-depth 5th Edition update to the Al-Qadim setting. As it was technically set within the Forgotten Realms, the product was permissible under WotC's fan content policy...

Feel free to do so, and others can as well. Just keep in mind that I can’t guarantee I will review them.

I haven't heard of it until now, thank you for bringing it to my attention! From what I can tell from the product blurb, it looks more of a DM's toolkit type of book with NPCs, so it would be outside the focus of this thread unless it does have character option rules. Right now I plan to review...

Itchio Store Page Goodman Games Store Page Dungeon Crawl Classics is an odd duck in the OSR space. More willing to make major rules departures from the Editions it emulates in favor of a gonzo feel, its products are more than willing to embrace the weirder side of fantasy. DCC’s bestiary has...

The Monster Team, by Ioana-Muresan of Deviantart. The worlds of Dungeons & Dragons, and its many inspirational spin-offs, are filled with all kinds of intelligent life forms. Elves, beholders, and countless creatures more derived from all manner of older folklore and recent pop culture. Only a...

Just picked up Rival Academies and NPC Core sourcebooks for Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Had some time to skim through the latter, I like what I see. Has a good amount of stock character archetypes, and also has alternative "challenge levels" for NPCs specialized in certain non-combat tasks. For...

Right now I'm listening to the Dungeon Dudes' campaign for Dungeons of Drakkenheim. Their current campaign, Fate of Drakkenheim, is a continuation of their old campaign in the same fictional universe. I'm also a fan of 3d6 Down the Line, who specialize in OSR modules; currently listening to...

I used to use Roll20, but it failed me on multiple accounts. Once I finished DMing Curse of Strahd, I migrated over to Foundry, of which I'm a player in 2 games for. It's been a wholesale improvement.

Appendices would normally begin with a listing of ship Upgrades, but as we reviewed those in an earlier post, we instead begin with some new Items. The majority of them are magical, and unlike typical 5e products the magic items have listed prices for PCs wishing to buy them with gold or...

I've been meaning to add it (as well as Pugmire, Historia, and some others), but as I haven't gotten around to reading or skimming the book I would prefer to do a write-up once I'm more familiar with the lore and options. Beast World, Humblewood, etc I'd classify as "furry-centric" as well as...

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.
