[title]New for EN World Subscribers[/title]

Last week, the 4E version of War of the Burning Sky #5: Mission to the Monastery of Two Winds was added to the subscriber download area. Due to an inexplicably slow internet connection, I wasn't able to add the D&D 3.5 version of that adventure until today. However, it is now there for you to download!

In addition, Spes Magna Games has kindly donated a Pathfinder RPG compatible PDF - a preview of their In One's Blood book. The preview contains:
  • 3 new sorcerer bloodlines: Ooze, Plant, and Vermin
  • 9 new spells, such as cloud of stingers and ooze shape
  • 1 new monster: the dreaded behemoth pudding
If you like it, please check out their other offerings for the Pathfinder RPG!

If you haven't yet got your EN World subscription, you can grab it right here for just $3 a month - it gets you a whole bunch of stuff and helps keep EN World running!
