Hi friends!

I wanted you to know about the City of Arches Kickstarter going on right now!

The City of Arches is a 160 page PDF and hardcover high-fantasy city sourcebook built for Lazy DMs and usable with any version of 5e or other fantasy tabletop RPGs. In this book you’ll find

  • a high fantasy city setting surrounded by countless adventure locations.
  • a setting easily dropped into any existing published or homebrewed campaign world.
  • a setting where any race, species, origin, heritage, and culture makes sense.
  • over a dozen adventure “biomes” with hundreds of adventure locations.
  • three 1st to 20th level campaign arcs.
  • an intro scenario, three adventures, and an adventure toolkit for building your own heist or infiltration adventure.
  • beautiful full-color art, dungeon maps, and overland maps.
  • a player’s guide with background hooks and setting-specific backgrounds.

Download the free 42 page preview on the Kickstarter page! I hope you’ll back this fantastic new book.

Thank you so much!

What RPG have you been dying to run? by slyflourish in c/rpg@ttrpg.network

I'd love a go at Crown and Skull by Runehammer. It looks really interesting. I'd like to play it before I run it and, frankly, just don't have the time.

Awesome stuff! The one thing I’d consider adding are some random names. They’re the number one improv tool.

MCDM, Matt Coleville’s company, just released Flee Mortals! This 400 page book includes new takes on existing 5e monsters and a few brand new ones – all in MCDMs style of cool tactics and action-oriented designs. I had the great pleasure of designing the vampires in this book including the monstrous Count Rhodar Von Glaur!

Check it out!

5.1 SRD in Spanish, Italian, French, and German by slyflourish in c/dndnext@ttrpg.network
[-] slyflourish@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago

Regardless of motivation, spending the money to translate the 5.1 SRD into four languages and then putting it out into the CC opens up a lot of expansion of 5e into other countries and people who never would otherwise play. And it does so regardless of what WOTC does in the future. It’s prudent that we don’t trust WOrC. With this out there, we don’t have to trust them.

Wizards of the Coast has released the 5.1 System Reference Document (basically the core rules of D&D 5e) in four new languages alongside English including Spanish, Italian, German, and French.

In my opinion, this is an amazing effort and one that helps Wizards of the Coast improve its reputation as a good steward of D&D and good partner of the hobby.

I’m putting a lot of hope in the extra 32 pages the sourcebook gets. I’m hoping for more text and tools to help me run my own Planescape adventures.

Friends! In case you didn’t know it, there’s an awesome volunteer-run website called https://open5e.com/ that includes tons of OGL-released 5e material. If you’re looking for a quick spell or monster lookup, this is your place. If you’re developing a system of your own, you can access the data there through an API in a structured format. It includes the 5e SRD, a lot of material from Level Up Advanced 5e (including all of their awesome monsters), it includes all four Kobold Press monster books and we’re already working on the new Tome of Beasts 1 2023 edition. It has backgrounds and subclasses from Tome of Heroes. It’s just packed with awesome stuff.

You’ll always get better descriptions, art, and design from the books themselves but if you’re looking to link to 5e material, this is the site for you.

If you like what you see there and want to help out, there are lots of ways you can do so. Join the Open 5e Discord server, introduce yourself, and jump on in!
