As I type this, the southern part of Mexico got hit with an 8.1 magnitude earthquake. Texas and Louisiana are still cleaning up and rebuilding from Harvey while the most terrifying storm to ever come out of the Atlantic bears down on Florida and the South (having already chewed up and spit out some Caribbean islands). I keep expecting to see John Cusack go screaming past in a beat-up RV. Look for what I've done so far to try and help folks in the epilogue section below. Meanwhile, it was Stuff & Things Week for the Picks, with some books dedicated to tools and gear for your characters to handle anything.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/214973/Lost-Artifacts-of-Greyghast--A-5e-Magic-Item-Compendium?affiliate_id=41076" target="_blank">[ATTACH]88310[/ATTACH]</a><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/214973/Lost-Artifacts-of-Greyghast--A-5e-Magic-Item-Compendium?affiliate_id=41076" target="_blank">LOST ARTIFACTS OF GREYGHAST</a>Took Labor Day off for “Grill & Games” at our FLGS, which was a huge success. Today, in honor of the tremendous success of Lost Artifacts of Greyghast – a 5e Magic Item Compendium, I am launching Stuff & Things Week! A (short) week of gaming products that celebrate the things characters need or want to do the things and stuff they do!Lost Artifacts of Greyghast is a magic item compendium for 5th Edition fantasy role-playing. This enormous tome is full of hundreds of unique and deeply storied magical artifacts–each with special backstories, “ready for your campaign” origins, special attunements that drive sidequests and gameplay activities, and fun mechanics that won’t break your game or bore your players.This book will be a cornerstone of any DM’s table, a real go-to reference for the right magical treasure for your game.Inside you’ll find variant rules to make magic item identification smoother and more rewarding for “knowledgeable” and “smart” characters, dozens of tables and indices so you can look through the whole catalogue in different ways (alphabetically, by type, by recommended class, by complexity, etc.), and gorgeous custom illustrations from some of the most talented fantasy artists on the scene today.<a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/219428/Gravity-Age-Cybernetics-Emporium?affiliate_id=41076" target="_blank">[ATTACH]88311[/ATTACH]</a><a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/219428/Gravity-Age-Cybernetics-Emporium?affiliate_id=41076" target="_blank">GRAVITY AGE: CYBERNETICS EMPORIUM</a>More Stuff & Things Week with a book that brings extensive cybernetics into your brand-new Starfinder campaign.
