Just a quick update -- March is Jungle Madness Month and XP6: Throne of Gondira is now on sale at 50% discount at DriveThruRPG: Throne of Gondira - Xoth Publishing | DriveThruRPG.com

Innocent men and women are being ritually strangled on the white jade altar of the grim ape god Simatala! Do you sneak into the temple to rescue the prisoners, or are you strong enough to face the evil adepts of the ape god directly? "The Eidolon of the Ape" is a stand-alone sword and sorcery...

There are six cultures, not five! The Spider-God's Bride was released in 2008, but did not include the cultures. My original blog post about the cultures is from early 2010, see The World of Xoth » Blog Archive » Cultural Archetypes The guys working on Blade of the Iron Throne approached me...

Thanks for the bump! If you have any questions regarding the book or setting, feel free to ask! Also note that there are several ready-to-run swords and sorcery adventures for 5E set in the World of Xoth, available via my website and also on DriveThruRPG.

I've recently listened to a number of episodes from that podcast (both REH-related and not), and it's an excellent show in general. Highly recommended to anyone slightly interested in Lovecraft, Howard and/or roleplaying games! (y)

Daring thieves entered the grand palace last night and stole a fabled emerald from the bey of Zul-Bazzir. But one of the thieves was betrayed, and now asks you for help to get revenge! Will you ally with a thief to steal back the Jewel of Khadim Bey? "The Jewel of Khadim Bey" is a...

Yes, I noticed I'm able to create hyperlinks, for example in the Table of Contents on page 2, which can then be clicked to jump to a specific chapter. But not sure how useful this is, as you need to go back to page 2 to navigate somewhere else. "Real" bookmarks are better, as they typically show...

Unfortunately, this does not seem possible in the tool I'm using (MS Publisher). Would love to be proven wrong!

There is a new update of the Player's Guide available (version 1.14). The changes in this version include: Lowered prices for alchemical powders. Incorporated bane/bless effect directly in description of Invoke Akhlathu. Masterwork weapons and shields now have a small chance to resist...

Good points. I have a bunch of Harold Lamb books and I've read several of the Cossak/Mongol stories. While they are what I would call "swords & just a touch of sorcery", they are excellent inspiration for adventures in Xoth or any other classic S&S setting. (y)

Note that depending on culture, you can already do this using the rules from the Player's Guide. Examples include (GMs can of course elaborate as they see fit): Civilizeds get inspiration for spending money to impress peers or superiors Enlighteneds get inspiration for spending money on...

With inspiration as written, you can only have 1 point of inspiration so you keep saving it for "something important". If you have more points to spend, it's easier to spend one (and thus it becomes easier to remember that you have them). Check out the rule in the Player's Guide that lets you...

The mission is simple: Escort a Lamuran lord and his entourage on a visit to the city of Zul-Bazzir. The road to Zul-Bazzir is perilous, but it is after arrival that things truly take a turn for the worse! Can you avoid getting entangled in the webs of intrigue spun by the cult of the...

Thanks, glad you like it! Yeah, it's quite a severe (but situational) hindrance. On the other hand, having a +1 permanent bonus to AC, and always having advantage on Perception, are pretty sweet benefits, so I'd say it evens out. (And the other cultures have pretty severe drawbacks as well.)...

Healing Word and Mass Healing Word can be cast anytime the above condition is met (in fact, the cultist cannot cast them in any other way). The spells do not need to be prepared and do not count against the number of prepared spells.

In Belthaar, city of dark alleys, strange cults, and rival sorcerers, a threat rises from beyond the grave! Can you solve the mystery of the Necromancer's Knife before it is too late? "The Necromancer's Knife" is a stand-alone sword and sorcery adventure module for character levels 1-2...
