Who — or What — is the Mysterious Accomplice of Dal-dian Abbar?

Our friends from Penny Dragon Games put together a fantastic collection of all things beast inside Bergin’s Book of Beasts. The awesome project brings more than 200 new beasts and beast-flavored subclasses to fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons. The folks from Penny Dragon sent us a little tease from Bergin’s Book of Beasts to share with the Nerdarchy community. We’ve got a cool NPC who’s unique familiar whose signature feature hits with real world relatability.

Activate Beast Mode for Your 5E D&D Games

Penny Dragon Games invites fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons players to live on the wild side with Bergin’s Book of Beasts, a 5E D&D supplement featuring over 200 new beasts plus beast themed subclasses for all your adventurers. This fully funded project already unlocked a bunch of beastly stretch goals and shows no signs of slowing down. An awesome resource for players and Dungeon Masters alike Bergin’s Book of Beasts is packed with tons of great material to unleash your inner beast. Let’s get into it.

Surprise, Delight and Horrify Adventurers with These Tome of Beasts 3 EXCLUSIVE Monster Previews

Our Friends over at Kobold Press are at it again. If the first two Tome of Beasts and Creature Codex monster books were not enough this time they’re going full throttle for the final installment of their series with Tome of Beasts 3, another collection of over 400 Monsters to add into your 5th Edition games.

Great Magic Items Inspire Amazing Stories for Players and Characters Alike

We love magic items! The source of power for adventurers may have slowly migrated from external to internal over the years but this hasn’t taken away from the joy of discovery when characters glean such treasures from the hoards of conquered monsters or unearth them in long-lost vaults. In our own fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons games magic items play pivotal roles whether this means providing the power to best terrible adversaries, grant capabilities otherwise impossible for a character or complement existing features.

Work for the Collective as a 5E D&D Warlock with a Cyberpunk Otherworldly Patron

The power of friendship is a staple in fantasy, science fiction and beyond. Fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons campaigns often revolve around this concept but why do we see villains and sinister folk employ this theme so little? I was contemplating the nature of millennial plights and the work force in general and my thoughts drifted to the cyberpunk genre and whether 5E D&D could be set in a cyberpunk campaign. (Watching Batman Beyond certainly didn’t have anything to do with my musings either.) I wondered what a cyberpunk setting for 5E D&D might look like and what kinds of unique subclasses might inhabit this space.

Flames of Enchantment Erupt from the Mage Forge!

So many memorable moments from our fantasy roleplaying game experiences originate through the amazing magical items our characters possess. Drawing your sword accompanied by the roar of a dragon to signify the blade as a relic of an ancient order and your wielding it proving your right to carry on the legacy. Plumbing the depths of eldritch knowledge through your ring’s cursed connection to an unfathomable entity plumbing the depths of your soul in trade. Capturing the souls of dying creatures in your lantern to draw on their essence for aid in your darkest moments. These are the kinds of moments we adventure for as fantasy RPG players. And as creators we’re throwing open the doors to our magic item vault in Mage Forge — Magic Items for 5th Edition!

Wayward Masquerade Expands the Dragon Bagons Hoard with LGBTQ+ Pride Dragon Dice Bags

Watching the trailer on Kickstarter for the new Dragon Bagons series I couldn’t tell at first if I was watching a witty wordless indie film with a comical twist or if it was actually the advertisement it’s designed to be. Watching our main character travel across the fantasy landscape to find new dragons made me smile many times, seeing where each of these little LGBTQ+ Pride dragons were found. When I say the new Dragon Bagons on Kickstarter are fierce, BEAR in mind that’s coming from a proud Queer man (wink, wink). Wayward Masquerade has already delivered on a number of delightful dice bags and the new Dragon Bagons series looks to be every bit as amazing.

Baron Smellybones Rolls Some Magic Dice into Your Next 5E D&D Game

I’ve been inspired to create some new D&D magic items by the Scented Dice by Baron Smellybones on Kickstarter. They are also a Nerdarchy sponsor for the sake of transparency and for the folks who care about such things. These Scented Dice by Baron Smellybones are a carefully curated collection of exquisitely scented dice offering a fragrance for any tabletop adventure. I’m intrigued by the idea of the Baron Smellybones character, which got me thinking about his dice. The Kickstarter is currently offering up five different scents — Arcane Vapors, Fireball Char, Nature’s Embrace, Ancient Armory and Healer’s Balm. Now let’s create some D&D magic items!

Penny Dragon Games Unleashes a Horde of Horror for Halloween

By guest poster Ben Doherty, founder of Owlbear Press

*Inhales* Ahhh… Can you smell it? The sweet stench of decay? That magical time of year draws close. The leaves are falling from the trees. The dead are rising from their graves. Halloween, like a werewolf stalking in the moonlit night, is almost upon us. And you’d best be prepared. Stock up on supplies — bobbing apples, candy corn, and plenty of pumpkin spice — and barricade yourself inside, whether it’s a suburban home, a cabin in the woods, or your recently deceased estranged uncle’s castle. It’s time to get the gang together, formulate a survival plan… and play some D&D.

Mag of Holding Haunts Your 5E Games with Gothic Horror Just In Time for Halloween

Penny Dragon Games added another title to their Mag of Holding series, following up on Frozen Wastelands and Pirates & Seafaring with Gothic Horror. This collection of encounters, creatures, curses and lore makes a fantastic asset for any Game Master and with the Halloween season upon us it’s the perfect thematic content for Fifth Edition players.

Explore Weird Wastelands and Play Great 5E Games in Places Adversely Affected by Magical Forces

Worlds of Web DM: Weird Wastelands launched this morning on Kickstarter and 16 minutes later our YouTube colleagues’ supplement for 5e D&D that gives you everything you need to play great games in places adversely affected by magical forces became funded. Of course the first exclamation to make is congratulations! We know exactly how excited the Web DM team feels after bringing their vision to the crowdfunding world and receiving the support to make it a reality. The heart of the project is Web DM’s passion for exploration, a pillar of 5E play we strongly support ourselves. Let’s get into it.

One of our earliest friends in the tabletop roleplaying game sphere launched a new crowdfunding campaign recently and we’re thrilled to be a part of the project too! Satine Phoenix partnered with Apotheosis Studios to create Sirens: Battle of the Bards, a 5E campaign setting in a city of artists where bards inspire revolution. The robust and sweeping project encompasses tons of material for Game Masters and players alike to create awesome memorable moments, stories and campaigns together and we couldn’t be more excited to take part in the creation. Let’s get into it.

Enter Aizendore’s Vault of Tragic Treasure — If You Dare

We are all familiar with the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark. (Pop culture is a powerful thing, eh?) We see that guy — a “Top man” — carrying the Ark of the Covenant away, then the camera zooms out, revealing countless more crates stretching as far as the eye can see. “What artifacts are locked away in all those other crates?” We hear you ask. Today we are presenting you with our very own “Top man” and he too safeguards countless dangerous and deadly artifacts. His name is Aizendore, a formidable wizard and his Vault awaits.

A Never Ending Parade of Characters and NPCs on NeverEnding

By guest poster Jamie Van Doren, Founder/CEO of ‎NeverEnding, Inc

Dungeon Masters and players tend to have hundreds of character ideas living rent free in their head. And that’s just where they’ll stay unless you’re an artist or can afford thousands of dollars in character commissions. At least that’s how it used to be. NeverEnding is a brand new TTRPG company developing an entire digital tool box for DMs, players, streamers and storytellers of all kinds.
