Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk!

Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk is the newest adventure coming to Dungeons & Dragons! Return to the classic adventure Lost Mine of Phandelver and expand it into a full campaign. Meet new characters, gather powerful magic items, and dive into Wave Echo Cave, ready to explore its riches.

Phandalin was once a town filled with magical potential. Arcanists from all over the Sword Coast would travel down to gather powerful magic items from the Forge of Spells, set in the heart of the Wave Echo Cave. But when a group of powerful orcs and wizards attempted to take Phandalin for themselves, there was a cave-in, destroying access to the powerful Forge.

For hundreds of years, explorers would dig through the remains of the mines, looking for magical trinkets to sell in town. Most assume that the cave and its magics are all but lost.

That never stopped the Rockseeker brothers. This trio of dwarves have finally found an entrance to Wave Echo Cave and only need time to get access to the Forge. But someone named the Black Spider has other ideas. With a united force of bandit gangs and goblin factions, the Spider plans to keep the Forge a secret for unknown purposes.

Not only that, but a cult has made its way into town. This malevolent group is trying to take over Phandalin for themselves. Who knows what plans they have for the cave?

Who will take the Forge? That’s up to you to decide.

For those who have already visited Phandelver, you will be able to meet new characters, get new treasures, and discover the truth behind the mysterious cult. Once you have completed the original adventure (which now has options for you to bend and break as you wish), you will be able to dive further into the lost realm of the Underdark, discovering more of this dark cults’ purpose, and putting an end to their evil machinations!

Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk comes out on September 19th, 2023!

Broken Weave!

Broken Weave is a brand new D&D 5e dark tragic fantasy campaign setting that will throw you into a world of dread and torment. Explore the wastes of your former world in search of artifacts, memories, and hope… or give into entropy and be embraced by the void.

Your world is falling apart, piece by piece. The gods are dead. The land crumbles and turns to dust. Those who live here forget themselves, and the lives they lived before. Decay eats and devours everything you hold dear… any yet, you survive. If you wish to hold back the tides of total oblivion, you will need to scour your once safe world in search of powerful artifacts that will remind people of what was lost. Only with hope for a new future to come will your world survive.

Players may choose to play any of the core rulebook classes, as well as five new character classes designed specifically for Broken Weave. Play as The Sage, The Warden, The Seeker, The Maker, or The Speaker, each focused on community development in different ways. Be careful when you choose your race or lineage – each has a curse that will follow you through the world.

The delicate balance of Hope and Decay will either build up your character or eat away at them. Make sure to keep an eye on your Hope or Decay tracker to determine how fast you may turn into a twisted monster of ruin.

Once your character is created, choose to either step out into the wider world or to help run things at your home community. Fight against hordes of monsters to collect relics and idols of past times, build up the defences of your Haven, and finally bring peace to your world.

Broken Weave comes out in November, 2023! Back your copy here!

Villainous Champions of the Shadow Keep!

Heroes? Who needs them? Villainous Champions of the Shadow Keep is a new campaign setting for D&D 5e, letting you play as the villain of your world! Choose one of the numerous monstrous character options, build your lair, and destroy heroes where you see fit!

Players can get their start in this new campaign guide by exploring the new villainous options! Choose from a variety of new monstrous races and class archetypes, such as the Two-Headed Ogre, which uses two-players to play and control.

Once you have your character built, it is time to build your home. Decide your lair location, whether it be out in a frozen cave or in someone’s abandoned basement. Take time to build clever traps throughout the space that only you know about, and recruit minions to follow your every command. Once you have everything in place, you can send out notices for heroic adventurers to test the dangers of your vile den. Just make sure they don’t get out alive so they can tell their friends all your secrets…

Even though you may crave random bloodshed, remember the most important rule of villainy – evil without a plan is only chaos. It is time to form alliances, pillage powerful arcane artifacts, and cull the land of any heroes that may get in your way. Ascend your dark throne, one corpse at a time, and become a monster worth fearing.

Villainous Champions of the Shadow Keep comes out on December, 2023! Back your copy here!
