As is my habit, I regularly scour the web for interesting fan-created D&D 5th Edition content so that you don't have to. Here's what I managed to find this time - an adventure, dragon-sickness from The Hobbit, a pile of magic items, and even some for-sale adventures!

There seems to be a growing amount of small-press published material, even in the absence of a license for D&D 5E.
- The Mystery of Maven Manor is a free short adventure for D&D 5E. "This adventure is set in Breakwater Bay, a small fishing village on the Isle de Mont Deserette along the northen frontier in the Wanderhaven setting. That said, you shouldn't have any trouble transporting it into a different setting if that better suits your game."
- There are two new posts in Harbinger of Doom: one with four new magic items and one new condition for 5e, and one with a rules breakdown on how to handle Thorin Oakenshield's dragon-sickness in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
