Content update for May! (It's a lot.)

My friends!You are all in for a treat this month. Here's what we've got going on: BroadSword Monthly #13 physical is officially on the way. Jen will start mailing International copies today and we should have domestic copies going out in 7-10 days (gotta get them from pokey Amazon first, but the other ones are POD). BroadSword Monthly #14 PDF should be out late this week or early next. It, too, will start printing as soon as early June. BroadSword Monthly #15 PDF should be out before the end of the month. You will probably get the physi...

Pexia's Guide to Omeria/Hand of the Eight Content - What do you want to see first?

Hey all!Just putting the finishing touches on the remainder of this month's adventures, including Awaken (it's a ton of fun, y'all... can't wait to show it to you).Starting tomorrow, I'll be hitting the grindstone working on the content for the Kickstarter and doing regular releases each day to have you all put your eyeballs on the content, playtest it, etc. Keep in mind that the finished versions will only be sold through the Kickstarter campaign, so if you haven't backed it yet, do so now.I've got both books laid o...

BroadSword Physical Update

Hey all!Good news on the BroadSword front. The proof for #13 lands today and we should have orders right after that. From there, it's approximately 2 weeks to get the books.Also, Scott's main focus now that Legends of Omeria is done and printing is to get caught up on BroadSwords. This means we'll be putting out two per month for the next couple months. Those of you who came in and didn't receive an issue yet should get two issues back to back until July.Anyways, thanks for being patient. We'll see ya soon!

Monster Lairs Poll 4

Not a bad spot to be in.Here are our winners so far and the day you can expect to see them: Skeletons (Already Out!) Kobolds (Already Out!) Archmages (May 14) Animated Objects (May 21) Banshees (May 28) Basilisks (June 4)Time to vote for a new one. So I'm keeping the list fresh, I decided that each week I'd drop anything that didn't get at least 20% of the vote. Obviously, those that win wi...

Monster Lairs Poll 1

Hey all!As I'm about to dive into some intense book writing with Omeria (well, more of collecting what's already there and cobbling it together in a nifty way), I thought I might knock out the rest of my content for the month by filling it with more monster lairs.I figured the best way to go about doing monster lairs would be to go alphabetical by SRD monsters. Then, as you vote on one, I remove it and then add in the next option in alphabetical order. And then we continue to do this until the whole book is done.Because certain creature...

Shadow Fey | New Elvish Subrace for Fifth Edition

To most, the shadow fey are little more than a dancing shadow among the leaves. To savants, they are the creatures that taught the shadowdancers all they know, and kept many secrets to themselves. They were once elves like all others, dwelling in mortal lands beneath the sun. An ancient catastrophe drove them to darkness, and now they are creatures of the shadow. Though they can be found on the Material Plane, they are inextricably tied to the plane of Shadows, and that is the seat of their power and culture.Shadow fey superficially resemble ot...
