D&D 5E Princes of the Apolcalypse/Adventurer's Handbook by Sasquatch Game Studios

[MonsterEnvy]

On a side note, Im now returing to D&D after a long hiatus, does anyone know about Sasquatch Game Studios? Do they publish decent stuff?

One of the writers for this adventure was one of the people that did Red Hand of Doom. (AKA one of the best adventures in D&D history.)

Not familiar with Red Hand of Doom, now I may have to look into it. That said, sounds like a solid writer is developing this adventure series. Should be awesome.

Rich Baker (one of the Sasquatches) co-wrote Red Hand of Doom, wrote Reavers of Harkenwold, and co-wrote Lost Mine of Phandelver, some of the best D&D adventures of the past 10 years.

Although it's 20 years ago, now, he also co-designed one of my favorite RPGs of all time for TSR, called Alternity. That game is famous to me as the only game that ever really successfully modeled "dead man walking" with its stun/wounds/mortal hit points - a combatant that was otherwise OK and able to fight for a short time, but was bleeding out and going to die. The bleed damage from paizo never quite cut it for me, and shadowrun's does come close, but it's more of a death spiral.

Anyway, very good designer.

As others side, Mr. Baker is a top-notch designer. Can't wait to see what he (and the other folks at SGS) did with this module.

I find it funny that there isn't even any information about this product on the Wizards' website.

Because they never actually announced it!

I loved me some Alternity, feel like it really got the shaft for d20 StarWars.
