Looks Like Goodman Games Has Another 5E Adventure!

Goodman Games has another adventure for D&D 5E - and this one's for 12th level characters! For $9.99 you get a 16-page adventure called Into the Dragon's Maw. The cover says it's by Chris Doyle, although the preview page says it's Michael Curtis. Into The Dragon's Maw has a Free RPG Day logo on it, which is Sauturday, June 20, 2015. (Thanks to Jeremy for the scoop).

This follows on from Goodman Games' existing five adventures for 5E, all under its Fifth Edition Fantasy line. Glitterdoom and The Fey Sisters' Fate launched last year at Gen Con (August); and The Pillars of Pelagia and War-Lock came from a successful Kickstarter earlier this year.

Into The Dragon's Maw was one of the stretch goals for the earlier Kickstarter (the other stretch goal was the 6th Fifth Edition Fantasy book, Fantastic Encounters, which will be a book of drop-in encounters).

"Your stalwart band treks through the trackless jungle seeking the Dragon’s Maw Waterfall. At the base of the falls, behind a massive curtain of water, is rumored to be the cavern lair of a great wyrm. The local Xulmec tribesmen say the great dragon has not been seen in nearly 100 years, so perhaps its hoard lies unguarded and ready for plunder. But what role do the heroes play in a blind shaman’s prophecy foretold a century ago?

This all-new 5E adventure module includes seven new magic items, and pre-generated characters can be downloaded from www.goodman-games.com to start playing right now!"

Still not "the only third party publisher to continuously support Dungeons & Dragons in every edition since 3E", though!

Way I understand it, you walk in and they have it on a table for free, like with free comic book day. That being said, there's a shortage of game stores (at least in my area) that actually participate.

I bet you have to show up early to have a shot at getting a copy too. If I'm not doing anything on the 20th, I'll probably try to hunt it down.

I decided to ask my local game store to order these in. I'm a little turned off by the covers, especially the logo, but they really do seem like they'll suite my needs for some smaller adventures, and the price is alright.

You know, the recent DCC games for their own RPG are actually surprisingly good. I have a bunch of 'em, and plan on converting "The People of the Pit" and "The Croaking Fane" to 5th if my PCs take the hooks. Both are easy-ish to convert, if you ignore luck and a few minor quibbles. Really, one of my favourite things about 5th is just how easy and quick it is to convert.

So, while these 5e friendly modules are great, I highly recommend people check out the other DCC games and convert from there. And most are under twenty bucks at game stores, and even less through Amazon (if your local store doesn't order 'em).

I did back the kickstarter, so I'll be getting the adventures at some point...

Good question

Does GG have a deal with these forums or can anyone advertise like this? Speaking as a person looking to publish my own stuff.

I'm not sure. Does Morrus announce all 3PP 5th Edition adventures that come out? Should we notify him in some way when we see that one is available?

The ones I know about. I don't generally announce every PDF - when I used to do that for 3.x and for Pathfinder, it very quickly became an insurmountably large amount of work, so I keep it to print stuff just for my own sanity. That said, a post in the Publishers/Press Releases forum is always welcome, and appears in the sidebar on the news page, and if it catches my eye and is decently written might get a promotion to full news page article, as long as I don't have to spend ages making it look presentable.

Two Legendary low-level 5th Edition print adventures

Legendary Games has two 5th Edition adventures available in print for 1st and 2nd level adventurers, the horror-themed Haunted Hamlet of Raven's Hill and the caravan journey adventure Road to Destiny (both available in PDF as well, of course). Several more adventures are in production and should be available next month.

Watch out for these pregens guys! I was looking over Into the Dragon’s Maw while I got ready for Free RPG Day and noticed your pregens do not follow the starting equipment chart on p38 of DMG.

I made a list of rarities of each magic item for each pre gens. http://pastebin.com/3UscE3xE

You can see that some characters have way more magical "oumph" than others. My point is that people making their own characters using this rule will have a serious disadvantage vs the pregens.
