Wrecked Spaceships are a tradition in science-fiction gaming, whether it is looking into a recent wreck which may have survivors, or running across and ancient relic that has been lost for centuries. This ship has broken up as it crashed, leaving the drive section separated from the control cabins. A debris field is scattered across a barren moon, waiting for your players to discover the secrets within. The two outdoor maps of the wreckage are larger maps than the usual 40x30.

Barren Moon: An empty gray waste stretches out with occasional rocky outcroppings or dark crevices in the ground.
Debris Field: Chunks and pieces of the ship are scattered across the dunes and rocks of this empty desert.
Drive Section: Outside and interior maps of the engineering level of the ship. There is not much left, but maybe something can be salvaged from the wreckage.
Lunar Pass: Dark and jagged rocks close in on either side as the sandy dunes spread across the barren landscape.
Spaceship Wreckage: Outside and interior maps of the downed spacecraft. The main control cabin is mostly intact, and things may still be found in the shattered hull.

No gridlines.
Most maps are gridsize 40x30 and are at 4000x3000 pixels so they stay sharp when printed or zoomed in.

Safety & Play Charter 

A Session Zero Tool for Every Table 

Every campaign deserves a strong foundation. The Safety & Play Charter is a complete session zero document designed to be distributed to players before your first session, giving your whole table a shared language for boundaries, expectations, and the kind of story you all want to tell together.

Whether you're running a gritty horror campaign or a lighthearted adventure romp, this Charter makes sure no one shows up to the wrong game.

What's Inside

The Charter walks players through ten structured sections covering everything a session zero conversation needs to address:

• Campaign overview and setting context

• Playstyle and tone preferences

• Safety tools in use at the table (X-Card, Lines and Veils, Script Change, Traffic Lights, and more)

• House rules and allowed sourcebooks

• Party alignment and PvP agreements

• GM and player roles and responsibilities

• Combat frequency and roleplay depth sliders

• A full consent and confidentiality agreement

It also includes a comprehensive Player Consent Checklist, a private fillable sheet covering over 40 content topics across themes, narrative elements, roleplay comfort zones, and gameplay preferences. Players mark each item as a Line (off-limits), Veil (vague or offscreen only), OK, or Ask First.

The back page is the GM-Keep Sheet, a confidential record of each player's limits and preferences that goes directly to the GM and stays there.

System Agnostic. Print-and-Play Ready.

The Charter works at any table running any system: D&D 5e, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, OSR, homebrew, anything. Print one copy per player and you're set.

Pairs With: The GM's Session Zero Toolkit

The Charter is the player-facing half of a complete session zero system. The GM's Session Zero Toolkit (also available from Knights Arcade Studio) is the GM-facing companion, covering how to prepare before players arrive, how to facilitate the room while they fill out the Charter, and how to read and act on what comes back to you. Together they cover session zero from every angle with no gaps and no overlap.

Pick up both and run the best session zero your table has ever had.

Published by Knights Arcade Studio. System agnostic. Suitable for all experience levels.

Gnomes: Gearbound & Feybound

Gnomes: Gearbound & Feybound is a monster supplement for 5e that presents gnomes as a divided cultural lineage rather than a single whimsical archetype. Instead of treating gnomes as generic small inventors or forest illusionists, this book explores two fully realized doctrines: the Gearbound, who abandoned the deep woods in pursuit of industry and human progress, and the Feybound, who remained rooted in ancient pacts and slow-growing magic.

The intent of this product is mechanical clarity and encounter variety without CR inflation. Each ladder progresses from child and commoner through increasingly specialized battlefield roles, capping at CR 6 to remain settlement-scale threats rather than world-ending powers. These gnomes are intelligent, disciplined presences designed to influence encounters through positioning, preparation, and doctrine rather than brute escalation.

Cultural lore, motive, and political tension between the two paths are intentionally minimal. Whether this divergence was philosophical disagreement, gradual drift, or ancient fracture is left to the GM. Use these stat blocks as tools. Why gnomes chose steel or root is yours to decide.

Images and tokens are provided for male and females.

The Gearbound

The Gearbound Gnomes abandoned deep woodland life in pursuit of progress, structure, and innovation. Drawn to human cities and the promise of industry, they replaced living roots with forged frameworks and deliberate engineering. Their settlements are organized, their workshops disciplined, and their warfare prepared well in advance.

Gearbound encounters emphasize devices, constructs, battlefield positioning, and reaction-based defenses. They do not rely on wild magic or chaos. Instead, they solve problems with preparation, reinforced mechanisms, alchemical precision, and coordinated mechanical support. A Gearbound force feels methodical and engineered rather than impulsive.

The Feybound

The Feybound Gnomes remained within ancient groves and lingering fey crossings, preserving slow magic and generational pacts. Their power is patient, rooted, and often unsettling. Where the Gearbound build outward, the Feybound deepen inward.

Feybound encounters emphasize terrain control, layered charms, subtle enchantment, and gradual battlefield dominance. They reshape the ground beneath enemies, restrain through living growth, and influence combat through quiet inevitability rather than spectacle. A Feybound force feels ancient and deliberate, bending space and will without haste.
