Skeletons: Species Variants

Skeletons: Species Variants is a monster supplement for 5e that presents skeletons as structural undead rather than disposable minions. Instead of treating skeletons as a single interchangeable stat block, this book expands the concept across multiple peoples and monstrous bodies—each preserving exactly one biomechanical racial trait while remaining mindless, cultureless animated bone.

The intent of this product is mechanical clarity and tactical pressure without numerical escalation. Humanoid variants operate at low CR and are designed to function in groups, forcing weapon adaptation through their Structural Undead doctrine: immunity to piercing damage, resistance to slashing damage, vulnerability to bludgeoning damage, and immunity to poison and necrotic damage. Larger skeletal bodies scale naturally according to their physical frame, not through spellcasting or retained intelligence.

Each skeleton fills a battlefield niche defined purely by anatomy—dense dwarven anchors, swift elven frames, compact halfling interiors, long-limbed bugbear reach controllers, aquatic merfolk hunters, charging minotaur shock units, and colossal giant war engines. These creatures do not command. They do not strategize. They simply move, strike, and rattle forward as animated structure.

Cultural memory, motive, and personality are intentionally absent. Whether raised by battlefield necromancy, ancient curses, lingering magic in forgotten tombs, or divine punishment is left to the GM. Use these stat blocks as tools. Why the bones rise is yours to decide.

Welcome to Statecraft! Statecraft is a new system designed for use in table-top role-playing games or as a stand-alone game that blends role-playing and grand strategy games. The game is intuitive and fun, with a lot of options for players and game-masters to fine tune their experience.

In these rules, players take the role of a nation itself in a world controlled by a game master. The core design of the game revolves around agents - heroes at the command of the player who are instrumental in commanding units, conducting diplomacy, investigating anomalies, and researching technology. Nations still have access to territory, infrastructure, and military forces that would be found typically in a grand strategy game, but they also have core statistics and skills that affect all of these things. In essence, you build or play your nation with much of the same intent that you might approach a new player character.

We've all seen posh spas and up market taverns and themed gimmicky inns. But what if you just need to lay low in a crappy, cheap little by-the-night place that doesn't ask questions and doesn't remember answers? Well, look no more; The Sunny Resort Motel is your one stop destination for everything cheap, dubiously legal and 100% anonymous. Just don't expect the walls to stop anything stronger than harsh language...

Comes with 2D / 3D, Day / Night, Gridded / Gridless versions, and both Desert and Forest variants!

Lucentia runs on consumption. Stores never close, shelves never stay empty, and trucks keep rolling through the night to refill what the city devours. Lately, that system has started breaking. Entire retail districts are being stripped bare. Not random smash-and-grabs - organized waves. Groups moving with timing, radios, and exit plans. Pharmacies. Clothing stores. Electronics counters. A hundred small thefts that add up to millions. Retailers are panicking. Security firms are hiring muscle. Gangs are realizing there’s serious money in logistics theft. Somewhere behind it all, someone is coordinating the chaos. And if the shelves keep emptying, the city is going to react.

Mercer Row is a long commercial artery of outlet stores, chain retailers, and endless parking structures. Delivery trucks line the curbs every night. Security cameras cover every entrance - at least the ones that still work. When the looting waves hit, the entire district becomes a running battlefield of alarms, fleeing crowds, and security vans trying to catch ghosts.

_____________________________

Lucentia never sleeps - and neither should you. In this solo mode, you step into the city alone, taking on jobs, running cons, evading the law, and navigating the hidden currents of factions. Every decision ripples outward: a missed detail can cost more than cash, and a single bold move can rewrite the city’s balance.

To fully experience the chaos, you’ll need your Urban Chaos Core Rulebook. It contains the rules for attributes, skills, combat, factions, Noise, City Pulse, and the systems that make Lucentia feel alive. The solo adventure system builds on these rules, letting you engage with the city as both protagonist and storyteller.

Expect tension, opportunity, and consequences. You’ll roll dice, make choices under pressure, and see the city respond in real time. Every session is a self-contained story, but one that can leave threads spilling into the next.

Solo play in Urban Chaos isn’t about simply surviving - it’s about thriving in a city that watches, remembers, and pushes back. It’s fast, it’s engaging, and it’s yours to shape. Your moves matter. Your choices echo. And the city? The city is always listening.

In Lucentia, property isn’t just about buildings. It’s about power. Luxury towers rise where old streets used to breathe. Entire neighbourhoods change ownership overnight. Behind the polished showrooms and glass-walled offices, a circle of elite estate agents has turned the real estate market into something far more dangerous. They broker deals worth hundreds of millions. They manage shell companies that own half the skyline. They move money through property the way other criminals move drugs or guns. And they are very good at staying legal. But something is shifting. Investigators are asking questions. Rival syndicates want their cut. And one mistake could bring the entire empire crashing down. If you want a piece of it, you’ll have to navigate the most dangerous business in Lucentia: the business of land.

The Verdant Strip is Lucentia’s newest luxury corridor - an expanding belt of penthouse towers, boutique realty offices, private showrooms, and construction zones that never stop humming. Deals are made in rooftop lounges and private viewing suites. Every building is worth a fortune, and every contract hides a story. This is where fortunes are built with paperwork instead of bullets. Most of the time.

Kurhan has three hills: Tell Os and Tell Hyr and Tell Kur. Of these, it is Tell Kur who is oldest and most feared. She is mother to the rest; it is on her windswept summit, girt with castles of black stone, that the dead are left for excarnation. Many are her towers, product of pre-human hands; and many are her pits, where in silence the dead of former days await dissolution. Of all these tombs, greatest is the New Necropolis.

The veil is thin here; things watch hungrily as it wanes. Even a careless breath could tear it down.

And then all would be washed away, into the many-towered twilight . . .

An adventure site for B/X and similar games. Includes:

• A sprawling, many-tiered necropolis, slowly waking up into a strange unlife
• 150+ locations across two above- and below-ground maps
• A dynamic event system, changing the necropolis around the party as they explore
• 3 factions to ally or compete with:
  • The brutal dwarves of the Karvan-il-Rukh 
  • The dervishes of the Iron-Handed Ones
  • The exiled bell-priest manajdra-In and her court of ghouls.

Designed for use standalone or with Beyond Tell Arn: Kurhan of the Spear.

BUILD MORE THAN BORDERS AND FLAGS

For the creator who understands that a country is not just a colored shape on a parchment. This guide moves beyond mere aesthetics to provide you with the keys to systemic logic. We don’t just show you where to draw a border; we teach you how that line divides cultures, how a state consumes resources to sustain itself, and how the shadow of authority shapes the will of those living under its rule. Master the invisible laws that transform a fantasy sketch into a believable, breathing, and complex geopolitical entity.

THE BIOLOGY OF THE LEVIATHAN

In the first section, we dissect the State as if it were a biological organism. We analyze the social contract, the mechanisms of resource extraction, the "nervous system" of bureaucracy, and the state's monopoly on the use of force. You will learn to construct nations from their moral and logistical foundations. Discover how a crack in legitimacy can turn a prosperous empire into a powder keg, and learn to use institutional rigor as the engine for deep, coherent creativity.

THEORY & TURMOIL

In the second part, we put the gears in motion. We explore how government structures are not just background lore, but the primary source of quests, intrigue, and conflict. By understanding how the state apparatus dictates trade routes, raises social barriers, and fights for its own survival, you will learn, through a series of bullet questions, to use your map as a chessboard where every law, tax, and decree becomes an opportunity for adventure.

THE COUNTRY OF BORAMAR

To bring these concepts to life, we invite you to explore Boramar. A nation born from the friction between rival powers, serving as a practical demonstration of every system in this guide. From its vital dependence on the energy of "The Veil" to the harsh social stratification enforced by the Copecis towers, you will see how a "buffer state" carves out its identity. Witness how the logistics of command and the control of resources can be more dangerous and fascinating than any monster.

Parts Unknown

The ship is finally ready to launch.

Months of salvage, repairs, and favors have brought the Heroes to the brink of departure from Lost Orion. One last shipment of warp-drive components arrives—and then disappears without a trace.

No footage. No paperwork. No witnesses.

The only lead points into Logistics Zone Delta-12, a forgotten maze beneath the station where cargo changes hands without questions and things that go missing tend to stay that way.

With station security tied up elsewhere, the Heroes must dive into the underbelly of Lost Orion themselves—before their ship parts are dismantled, sold, or shipped beyond reach.

But what begins as a simple theft hints at something larger.

Someone on this station is moving valuable hardware through channels that officially do not exist.

And the Heroes have just stepped into the middle of it.

This scenario can take place on any starport where the Heroes are working on their ship and are waiting for parts to be delivered.
