Each entry features stat blocks, abilities, lore, plot hooks, and everything else you’d want when bringing flower (dragon) power to your gaming table. The idea of dragons based on environments has been around since the earliest days of <strong>D&D</strong>. This book drills down from the environment to consider specific items within that world as influences on these dragon designs. The team at <strong>Hit Point Press</strong> brought artist Kin Wald in to create the right visuals for their flora creatures. Without art to elevate these ideas, the creatures won’t capture the gamer’s imagination. Because of Kin Wald’s illustrations, which are gorgeous, this book is one part <strong>5e</strong> sourcebook and one part artbook. <strong><em>The Field Guide to Floral Dragons</em></strong> was written for fans that need a tabletop sourcebook inspired by the worlds of <strong><em>How to Train Your Dragon, Dragonology,</em></strong> and <strong><em>Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book</em></strong>. This sourcebook is ideal for a campaign featuring wilderness, druids, and rangers. (Is it wrong that I’m hoping for allergy powers?

The four books – <strong><em>Leshy Dragons, Fairy Dragons, Misfit Dragons,</em></strong> and <strong><em>Battle Dragons</em></strong> – focus on different types of dragons. Each book takes a specific aspect – the fey, fighting, the island of misfit toys, plants – and applies the attributes to the dragons in a bit of fantasy kitbash. For example, <strong><em>Leshy Dragons</em></strong> looks at dragons derived from leshies, plants, and fungi, each drawing their powers from the natural world. While this isn’t the only book from this campaign, it is comparable with <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hitpointpress/the-field-guide-to-floral-dragons" target="_blank"><strong><em>The Field Guide to Floral Dragons</em></strong></a> from <a href="https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/18520/hit-point-press?affiliate_id=814082" target="_blank"><strong>Hit Point Press</strong></a> above providing a baseline for comparison. From this campaign, <strong><em>Battlezoo Dragons: Leshy Dragons</em></strong> is 100 pages of dragon ancestries, stat blocks for a variety of dragons, detailed great wyrms, and general leshy dragon lore. Its strength is its interconnectivity to the other three <strong><em>Battlezoo Dragon</em></strong> books and, for <strong>PF2e</strong> fans, offering the content in that ruleset. If you’re interested, the campaign offers VTT tokens and a free PDF download to preview what you’ll get.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/rollforcombat/battlezoo-secret-dragons-epic-new-dragons-for-5e-and-pf2/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/rollforcombat/battlezoo-secret-dragons-epic-new-dragons-for-5e-and-pf2/minichart.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]359365[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thedmlair/lairs-and-legends-2" target="_blank"><strong>Lairs & Legends 2 - The Definitive 5e Resource Anthology</strong></a><strong> from The DM Lair</strong></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE</strong>: Thu, May 2 2024 8:00 PM EDT.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S)</strong>: <strong><em>Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition</em></strong></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE</strong>: Sourcebooks</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>MOST POPULAR PLEDGE</strong>: $120 + S/H for the PDF and print versions of both books</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>AI STATEMENT</strong>: “To put it bluntly, there will be no AI-generated content in either <strong><em>Lairs & Legends 2</em></strong> or <strong><em>Loot & Lore 2</em></strong>.”</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?</strong> Two books (over 600 pages) featuring 30 <strong>5e </strong>adventures with 30 encounters, 30 traps, and 30 puzzles against over 100 monsters.

It’s convenient, but the secret is hanging this on the wall and contemplating game night as you take a much deserved mental break from the day job.

This campaign provides two sourcebooks – [B][I]The Book of Options[/I][/B] and [B][I]Fiends & Foes[/I][/B] – and two adventures – [B][I]Domain of Heryngard[/I][/B] and [B][I]Tomb of the Iron God[/I][/B]. These books provide a major expansion to the [B][I]Swords & Wizardry[/I][/B] ruleset. [B][I]The Book of Options[/I][/B] offers up new classes, spells, and magic items such as the demon-hunter, bard, troubadour, illusionist, gnomes, and stygians. [B][I]Fiends and Foes[/I][/B] includes 300 monsters, all unique to this book, none of which are from the [B][I]Complete Revised Rulebook[/I][/B]. If you’re a fan of [B]OD&D[/B], these books expand the play options you have and they’re worth exploring.

In [B]Nightfell[/B], the world is reduced to pockets of civilization, isolated bastions that need to connect with one another during the long night. Your job in this grimdark fantasy world is to keep connections and hope alive. It’s exciting to see third-party [B]PF2e[/B] products and this one, with two books – [B][I]Nightfell - Core Manual[/I][/B] and [B][I]Nightfell - Bestiary[/I][/B] – provides a detailed setting to place your [B][I]Pathfinder[/I][/B] adventures in. Check out the campaign page for a free quickstart to see if this campaign setting is right for your gaming table.

The maps are 12”x12” and lay down flat, no need to remove the single map from the collective before play. With each you’ll find encounters involving ruins, rooms, fields, forest, and a ship. It’s convenient, but the secret is hanging this on the wall and contemplating game night as you take a much deserved mental break from the day job. With tie-in adventures, you get the location, options, and VTT so this can be used digitally. If you like the idea of wall calendars as RPG accessories, this is worth a look.

Sooner or later, any long-term campaign needs to visit a library. In this 27-page book, you’ll get the tools to make that location-trope a fun reality. There’s a library adventure for levels 5 and 6 complete with maps, magic items, library-centric monsters, mundane books, and spellbooks. Among the monsters, the Living Spellbook is both a great monster and an item that every wizard is going to want to ingratiate themselves to. If you’re running a [B]5e[/B] campaign and you don’t have a library ready to drop into an adventure, [B][I]A Night in the Library: A Bookish Adventure for D&D 5E[/I][/B] is worth picking up and having on-hand just in case.
