The Monk is out, and has been added to both the All of the Playbooks and Adventuring Party bundles, giving you two ways to pick it up, at a discount, along with a bunch of other high-quality playbooks.

10+ Treasures: Grave Goods is out (and has been added to our 10+ Treasure Trove Bundle)! As with 10+ Treasures: Wonders of the Wyld, this collection of magic items follows a theme: undead.

What if an entire culture is actually okay with this? What if being turned into a mummy to protect something (or someone) is […]
Undead make great dungeon fodder; they are easy to justify in the dungeon setting, and there are lots of low-level choices to work with. While a lot are unintelligent, even the smart ones tend to be evil so as an added plus you do not have to feel guilty for hacking them apart (though you […]
