All of our art and creative work is made with passion by humans, and all content is entirely original.” [*][B]WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?[/B] This campaign offers two sourcebooks with over 400 pages of new [B]5e[/B] content. The focus of this [B]5e[/B] setting is dark survival. There are new ancestries, subclasses, spells, monsters, battle maps, and adventures. These books offer a blood alchemy system. The campaign envisions a world of corruption, horrors, and jeopardy. Honestly, making a character-grinder [B]5e[/B] is an interesting thought exercise, and I’m curious how it translates in these books.
