A reward is offered to stop the menace and a band of Venturers jumps at the chance to solve the mystery and make some coin. They track the latest mechanical incursion back to the lair of an insane artificer, unaware that the traps and constructs within will push their skills and endurance to their very limits.

Mazes is a return to the classic sword and sorcery dungeon crawler with award-winning, yet delightfully simple modern rules. The first TTRPG to use the polymorph system, Mazes is easy to learn and teach, and ready to play without a lot of prep.

Designed for episodic play, Mazes is ideal for one-shots and conventions. It's a distillation and modernization of the classic Dungeon Delve, making it a perfect introduction for those new to roleplaying, as well a great excuse for grognards to get back into the dungeon!

The Eternal Bog is a flat expanse of treacherous mud covering most of the REALM OF EARTH. It is cut with trails made of trees that grow sideways along the ground. Strangers to the realm who tarry overlong in one place find themselves mired and sinking to their doom. Lost chambers, caves, ruins, and crypts occasionally rise from the muck for brief windows of time before sinking once again into the endless mud. Clever and efficient Venturers can pull marvels and treasures from those forgotten places in the short time when they exist on the surface of the realm. But the threat of sinking into an endless crushing darkness is always present, and the greedy Venturer who takes too long to return to relative safety may be lost forever. 

Somewhere within the Eternal Bog is a great subterranean dungeon-city called the Verdant Dream. Finding it is the only chance for Venturers to create a path home for themselves before their supplies run short and their endurance fails. 

Are your adventurers prepared for a relentless march through a world of churning mud?

Everyone in the town of Darion's Bridge knows about the long-abandoned, ruined fortress known as Grimspire.  It stands on a hilltop just a couple of miles from the town, and rumors say that there are extensive dungeons underneath filled with monsters, including many of the walking dead.

But now, things have escalated.  Orcs and goblins have moved into the ruins and are raiding the local farms and the merchant caravans on the trade road to the nearby Keep.  Adventurers are needed to brave the dungeons and end the threat!

This adventure was originally written in ink on notebook paper as part of the author's very first campaign in the early 1980's.  Dug out of a dusty folder, it's been expanded and polished; even so, this is truly an Old School adventure!

10. Hire a HOLLOW ONE

“ Served coffee with ennui. Blog posts excellent, attendance nonexistent.”

What happens when reality-warping geniuses are forced to justify themselves to a hiring committee?

Applying for a modern, professional position—complete with job description, résumé, interview transcript, HR observations, and a final verdict. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the candidates can literally rewrite the laws of reality but cannot agree on what “team player” means. Paradigms clash with corporate policy, metaphysical debates derail simple questions, and Paradox is always just one poorly phrased KPI away.

These interviews are ideal as:

• Comedy interludes between serious sessions

• In-universe documents or handouts

• Quick NPC introductions with instant personality

• A satire of both mysticism and modern workplace culture

Desert Nomads

Desert Nomads is a 5e NPC supplement that presents a fully realized desert trade confederation built around mobility, social power, and environmental mastery rather than military conquest. Instead of treating desert cultures as raiders or generic bandits, this book focuses on caravan networks, shield-bearing guards, camel riders, traders, and divine leaders whose authority is rooted in survival, negotiation, and communal defense.

The intent of this product is mechanical cohesion and encounter-driven design without escalation into army-scale warfare. These nomads rely on layered cloth garments rather than armor, large round shields rather than heavy plating, and divine guidance rather than arcane spellcraft. Sand and heat are integrated directly into their mechanics—ignoring difficult terrain, shaping vision with blowing dust, resisting fire beneath desert sun, and invoking divine intervention to locate hidden water sources.

These NPCs are built to support a wide range of desert encounters: caravan negotiations, oasis diplomacy, trade disputes, escort missions, defensive shield formations, mounted skirmishes, and survival-driven expeditions. Combat exists, but it is secondary to social leverage and environmental control. Cultural details, faith, and political structure are intentionally minimal. Whether these nomads are honorable traders, pragmatic deal-makers, guarded isolationists, or regional power brokers is left to the GM. Use these stat blocks as tools. How and why the desert shapes them is yours to decide.

Art & tokens are provided for male and female nomads.
