The Wilderness Is Watching. The Seed Is Stirring.

Farmhome is a place where stories linger.

The crows are too quiet.

The goats are restless at night.

And the trail beyond the village leads into fog and vine, where travelers vanish, and only bones come back.

The journey will not be kind.

Every hill, every cave, every fallen log may hide danger.

But the road leads forward, through wet woods and broken idols, to where the earth drinks blood and something far older than gods begins to wake.

The Demon-Seed of the Plant God is a 5th Edition adventure for 2–6 player characters of levels 4–6 (Tier 1).

GLOOMRAIDER is a fantasy roleplaying game in the “dungeon crawling” “swords & sorcery” genre. In Gloomraider you use your imagination to delve into the “gloom”, the dark, mysterious, and deadly places deep under the surface world where untold treasures and mighty magic awaits those brave enough to seek them.

But beware, the Gloom is where the creatures of nightmares live, who often venture to your world in the night seeking surface dwellers for food and servitude.

You have been blessed with certain gifts above the average folk in the world that you have chosen to put to use to either defend the world from those denizens of the dark or simply to raid into the gloom to return with riches and glory. You are known to the common folk as a gloom raider! A hero to some, a menace to others.

The idea behind GloomRaider is to take place in a "world of megadungeons". To do that, take any medieval fantasy/D&D setting (published or homebrew) and advance it 2,000 years after a post-Medieval apocalyptic event where gods, angels, titans, demons, devils, and dragons warred for control of the world. The common peoples living on the surface went underground for protection, carving out vast labyrinths in which they lived for a thousand years before being forced to escape back to the surface. And for another thousand years they've been remaking their civilizations in the sunlit world. Those old underground homes are now the "megadungeons" of the Gloom, as numerous under the lands as cities and towns are on the surface.

Gloomraider is an alt-D&D RPG that came out of work I had been doing to create my own OSR RPG since 2009 after running the Castles & Crusades RPG for a couple years. It is a mix of AD&D, B/X D&D, with some 3e D&D elements and heavily influenced by the Shadowdark RPG, plus some of my own additions.

Antfolk | A New 5e Monster Faction

Antfolk expands the familiar “insect swarm” concept into a disciplined imperial hive built for structured, formation-based encounters in 5e play. Rather than treating ant-like creatures as mindless monsters or a single scalable stat block, this supplement presents a complete society ladder—from vulnerable larval brood and labor castes to hardened veterans, battlefield officers, and a sovereign queen—each designed to fulfill a clear tactical and narrative role at the table.

Whether you need organized tunnel defenders holding a chokepoint, expendable shock troops absorbing the first assault, elite myrmidons executing flanking maneuvers, or a hive marshal coordinating layered formations, Antfolk provides mechanically distinct stat blocks across multiple tiers of play. The ladder is built to scale naturally, allowing encounters to evolve from disciplined patrol engagements into full colony assaults where command structure, positioning, and formation integrity determine the outcome.

Each antfolk type emphasizes hierarchy, cohesion, and purpose. Abilities focus on shield formations, pheromone-marked targets, controlled retreats, layered command bonuses, and disciplined sacrifice rather than chaos or individual heroics. Antfolk do not panic—they reorganize. They do not scatter—they fall back in layers. Killing officers matters. Breaking formation matters. Confronting the Queen changes everything.

Use Antfolk as subterranean empire-builders, territorial expansionists, tunnel-fortifying defenders, or structured military antagonists whose strength lies in order, not rage. The hierarchy is provided. How far their empire spreads is up to you.

Antfolk Ladder

Antfolk Larval Brood (CR 0): Protected young of the hive. Noncombatant but triggers defensive aggression and reinforces the stakes of brood chambers and colony survival.

Antfolk Worker (CR 0): Labor caste responsible for tunneling, fortification, and supply. Armed with simple tools or spears and fights only under direct command.

Antfolk Scout (CR 1/8): Agile recon unit that marks targets with pheromones, tracks by scent, and withdraws to draw enemies into prepared positions.

Antfolk Drone (CR 1/4): Expendable shock trooper bred for assault. Relies on natural claws and venom and willingly sacrifices itself to preserve hierarchy.

Antfolk Legionary (CR 1/2): Standard shield infantry armed with sword and shield. Advances methodically and holds formation under officer presence.

Antfolk Veteran (CR 1): Hardened frontline soldier with shield-wall discipline and battlefield experience. Absorbs punishment without hesitation.

Antfolk Shield Captain (CR 2): Formation officer who stabilizes lines, reinforces cohesion, and prevents disorder within proximity.

Antfolk Myrmidon (CR 3): Elite assault specialist armed with heavy or dual weapons. Executes flanking maneuvers and eliminates priority threats.

Antfolk Hive Marshal (CR 5): Battlefield commander who coordinates multiple formations, enhances hive coordination, and directs tactical repositioning.

Antfolk Queen (CR 8): Sovereign ruler of the colony. Central authority of expansion and defense whose presence strengthens all ranks—and whose fall fractures the hive.

The Broken Expanse

Faith still walks through these lands, yet fewer return from them.

The Unmoving Vale lies in the south of the Broken Expanse. It is a region that remains accessible but largely abandoned. Roads still lead into it, paths remain open, and the land holds the shape it had when oversight ended. At its center stand the Ruins of Eldwark, once the region’s capital. The city was not destroyed, but deliberately emptied. Records were removed or burned, authority withdrew, and the structures were left standing without purpose. What remains is a quiet, unstable place where echoes surface, corruption appears unevenly, and fragments of unfinished history linger without offering clear answers.

The Verdant Reach is the second release in The Broken Expanse, a location-focused mini-setting built around exploration, environmental pressure, and escalating corruption. Rather than presenting a fixed adventure path, this release provides a fully developed region to explore, complete with interconnected points of interest and a featured battlemap set within Earthwound Shrine.

This material supports open exploration, repeat visits, and player-driven consequences. The blight spreads unevenly, creatures mutate, and the land itself reacts to intrusion.

The Broken Expanse is a collaborative content line created by Kelfecil’s Tales, D&Demetrius, and Heroic Maps, developed through close coordination between writing, regional cartography, and battlemap design. Each release focuses on a single area within a shared region, allowing the setting to expand gradually while remaining easy to use at the table.

The content is system-agnostic at its core, with optional guidance written for use with 5E. Skill checks, encounter suggestions, and creature reskins are provided as tools rather than requirements, allowing Game Masters to adapt freely.

• Recommended Use: Drop-in location, regional exploration, investigation, slow-burn horror

Included in this supplement:

• A zoomed-in regional map of Verdant Reach
• x6 detailed points of interest with lore, usage guidance, and situation tables
• A featured battlemap set within Earthwound Shrine
• Three original blight monstrosities (CR 1/2, CR 3, CR 5)
• GM-facing environmental pressure, corruption behavior, and reactive tables

This is a project I have been working on for a very, VERY long time. It consists of a number of character classes, feats, skills, and even "monsters" for players and GMs who want to include Christianity in a more prominent role in their games. The classes use a new, skill-based spellcasting system as well. The rules are primarily focused on Apostolic Christianity (Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Coptic Christianity, and so on), because that's what I know best. However, there are options available here for other denominations as well, mostly in the Feats section.

If people are happy with this product, I would be glad to keep going. I have a number of other projects in the works. If you would like to advise me or help me with any of them, please let me know.

Have fun!

Beneath the dust of centuries lies a city older than memory, buried by cataclysm and ambition. Now, the distant horn of war echoes through the plains, and rival warlords converge to claim what has long been forgotten. They do not arrive alone—mercenaries, sorcerers, and spies trail their banners, each seeking wealth, vengeance, or the secret that sleeps beneath the ancient walls. You are drawn to this buried city not by loyalty or coin alone, but by curiosity, destiny, or the whisper of power that only the soil of Karnaxos can remember. As armies gather above ground, the city waits in shadow, and the choices you make may decide whether it rises in glory—or crushes all who enter it.

Ur-Zaneth sprawls beneath cracked earth and collapsed towers. Once a jewel of trade and learning, it was abandoned in the Bronze Covenant Age after a great disaster. Massive stone streets now lie under layers of sand and ruin. Temples reach up as fractured spires. Crypts and vaults lie open, carrying faint magics and the echoes of ancient rituals.

Above ground, the city is little more than a ring of wind-twisted hills and ruined fortifications, yet from its center rises the Obelisk of Silent Kings, untouched by time, visible from miles. Its presence calls rulers, thieves, and wanderers alike, for legends claim that a crown, a weapon, and forbidden knowledge remain within the city’s depths—enough to reshape Karnaxos itself.
