Soulmist: A Journey from Darkness to Light!

Soulmist: A Journey from Darkness to Light is a upcoming dark fantasy 5e campaign setting created by Black Lantern Productions! Fight for your survival in the land of Fyera, constantly fighting against the endless evils that inhabit the land.

The World

The land of Fyera is split between light and darkness. Caused by a slowing of the planet’s rotation, one half of the planet is near entirely illuminated by the sun, the other hidden away by night. In the land of eternal midnight, named the Darklands, evil creatures have begun to emerge. Ever hungry and all powerful, these villains wish to consume and conquer world of Fyera. Only those brave enough to enter the Darklands may be able to stop these evil plots of mayhem and madness…

Play as one of five new races, with more than twenty-five new classes and sub-classes at your disposal. Prepare your weapons, equipment, and dive deep into the Darklands… if you dare.

The New Systems

More than just a campaign setting, Soulmist introduces three brand new rule systems to help take your campaign to the next level.

Instead of a alignment system, there is the Erebos System. Erebos has characters roll for stress, resulting in more and more mental strain on your character as you face ever darker creatures. The more points of Erebos you have, the more hopeless your situation becomes.

The Fate Pool System grants both players and enemies special abilities that can be used to defeat each other. The lower your Erebos level, the more Fate dice you get. However, the further and further you move into the Darklands, the more Fate dice your enemies obtain. Be careful how far you tread…

While it has its handicaps, some people welcome Erebos. These people are known to practise Prohibited Magics. These dark magics have powerful effects and equally terrible consequences. Abuse these spells at your own risk – every time you cast one of these spells, your Erebos score increases.

Soulmist: A Journey of Darkness to Light comes out in December of 2022! Back your copy here!

Grim Hollow: The Player’s Guide!

Darkness has arrived in Etharis. There is no hope, no heroes, no grace here. There is only pain, suffering, and evil. This is the land of Grim Hollow

Grim Hollow is a D&D 5e setting for all you grim dark lovers out there. Grim Hollow games are all about survival and doing your best to make the world a better place against all odds. Take on ancient evils or become one yourself!

Grim Hollow: The Player’s Guide offers a lot of customization to your 5e game. You have undoubtedly heard of the guide before on YouTube, Kickstarter, everywhere. But is it worth chipping in the twenty-five bucks?

Oh, my friend – you have no idea what magic is in here. Let me just mention a little bit of the delicious content in this PDF.

Sangromancy

Finally, a blood magic system that isn’t just flavour! Sangromancy is one of the coolest additions to 5e magic system because it not only utilizes spell slots, but also your hit dice to cast spells. Your hit dice will dictate how much damage or healing you deal as per the casting of the spell.

You may think this is a little punishing, especially at early levels. However, it is worth noting that Grim Hollow is meant to be a grim dark game. It’s meant to be a little punishing, making your question your endurance for survival at every step of the way.

If you want to really dive into sangromancy but don’t want to constantly worry about losing access to your spells if you expend all your hit dice, don’t worry. Play as the wizard subclass School of Sangromancy, which gives you bonus d12 dice to use instead of your hit dice!

Advanced Weapons

For those looking to spice up their combat capabilities, advanced weapons are here! Advanced weapons offer additional abilities and benefits for using better quality weapons. This includes abilities such as Swift, which allows you to make an attack roll at advantage if your missed the prior attack, or Precise, which scores a critical hit on 19s – 20s.

Of course, these abilities are entirely optional. However, if you are a DM looking to spice up the combat in your game, or you are a player who wants to dive into some new tricks, give these weapons a try!

Inspiration & Corruption

Inspiration & Corruption offer two new dice pools for your party or DM to use throughout the game. The mechanic is simple – every good act you perform, the party gains a d6 Resolve die. If you commit an evil act, the DM gains a d6 Beast die.

Resolve dice can be used by the party to offer a moment of good fortune. This could include additional healing on a short rest or a re-rolled death save.

Beast dice can be used to make a grave situation much more dangerous. This could include rolling a die to increase the enemy numbers, or even attempt to make one of your PCs fail a death save (if you are a special kind of monster).

These dice pools can only reach a maximum pool of six. The party can choose to spend all Resolve dice, giving everyone advantage on all rolls, deal double damage, and take half damage for one round. If the DM obtains six Beast dice, the DM can spend these dice to summon enemies to your location, regardless of your condition. The Beast can manifest in different ways, but always results in two things – catastrophe to the surrounding communities and a long-term enemy/condition for your party to have to deal with.

Lastly, there is also a Neutral table that both the DM and the party can utilize with their Resolve or Beast dice. These abilities range from trying to cast a spell based strictly on observation, or deal extra damage. Regardless, these abilities can be just as powerful as your own dice pool, so make sure to double check your options before using them!

Grim Hollow: The Player’s Guide PDF is available now here! Physical copies of the guide book come out in September 2021!
