Begin retaking our world from the alien invaders today! Features a basic version of the advanced BILT rules, sample player characters, and an adventure. What are you waiting for? Get in the fight and show the Gray what you’re made of.

This product features a fully playable introduction to BILT Among The Stars.

Using the battle-tested BILT system first introduced in 2015’s Gold-selling hit AZ: After Zombies, and playtested through years of iteration at the home campaign table of RPG designer Chuck Rice, BATS provides everything you need not for one science-fiction campaign, but for all of them.

Across Time and Space: Including 5 Tech Eras, BATS has all the tools to run campaigns from the Stone Age to the Modern Age, from the Near Future to the Space Opera Eras and beyond.

The Ultimate Crafting & Modding Toolkit: Stop settling for standard gear. BATS includes full rules for building and modifying custom weapons, armor, explosives, medicines, drones, robots, computers, ground vehicles, air vehicles, mechs, and starships. We’ve included examples of every single device, plus the mathematical framework to build thousands of customized variants all your own.

Transhuman Tech: Radically modify your characters with comprehensive Cybernetics rules.

Infinite Encounters: A robust creature-building engine featuring 50 distinct traits. Instantly modify existing threats or build your own completely custom alien horrors from the ground up.

BILT Among The Stars represents the culmination of my 26 years in the RPG industry. I’ve poured everything I’ve learned as a three-time ENNIE Award nominee and the author of multiple Gold-Selling DTRPG titles like Blood and Space and AZ: After Zombies into this massive toolkit.

Explore the stars. Conquer the stars. Settle the stars. 

BILT Among the Stars.

This is Part 5 of the Broken Kingdom Campaign. The party leaves for the north. The valley kingdoms have erupted into war and Castle Fenyovar watches menacingly at their backs.

Play this chapter as a travel interlude to a far away place. There is a small town on the way with a dark secret, hidden horrors, a wagon train of merchants, and a mysterious creature that thunders throught the night. The adventure ends at an abandoned castle overlooking the large trade town of Felszaka. 

As always the campaign is a puzzle piece that can be played in order or as it comes up. As part of the Broken Kingdom Campaign, it reveals more about the mysterious Count Miklos. Play in game or plug into any existing campaign as a travel interlude for an injection of horror.
This adventure is meant to be played with Fire Burns Low Gamebooks.

The Tech Domain introduces a discipline of magical engineering to Daggerheart, transforming mundane equipment into arcane prototypes powered by ingenuity and experimentation. Characters who wield this domain harness invention as a form of magic, crafting devices, modifying weapons, and infusing ordinary objects with extraordinary power.

Forge your legend through blood, bone, and myth. Daygon’s Ancestry Codex introduces 18 unique new ancestries, each built for Daggerheart with powerful, cinematic abilities that shape how you move, fight, and survive. Charge into legend as the unstoppable Centaur, stalk the night as the cursed Dhampir, or take to the skies as the shadow-winged Fledermaus. Become an unyielding construct as a Golem, embrace savage strength as the Haragi, or weave deadly elegance as the spiderlike Jorogumo. Move like the wind with the razor-fast Kamitachi, outwit your foes as the cunning Kitsune, or survive against all odds as the resourceful Kobold. Harness primal fury as the Kumajin, hunt as the ferocious Lykogan, or strike with precision as the lethal Manteidos. Dominate the battlefield as the mighty Minotaur, endure like the ancient Sobexie, or embody wild magic as the unpredictable Spriggan. Stand apart as the enigmatic Strivari, revel in mischief as the clever Tanukin, or crush all before you as the relentless Troll. Each ancestry brings a distinct identity, powerful abilities, and a unique way to shape the story.

From winged hunters and cunning tricksters to towering golems and cursed bloodlines, every ancestry offers distinct mechanics that reward bold choices and dynamic play. This is not just who your character is. This is how they change the story.

Hybrid Dragons: Apex Beasts of Fang & Scale

What happens when dragons evolve… sideways? Not every dragon is born from flame and sky. Some adapt. Some specialize. Some become something far more dangerous. Dragon Codex is a system-agnostic collection of ten terrifying dragon variants—each fused with a primal creature of the natural world. These aren’t just reskinned dragons. They are fully realized predators with unique behaviors, ecosystems, and hunting styles. From the silent caves to the open ocean, from frozen tundra to choking swamps—these creatures dominate their environments in ways traditional dragons never could.

Inside This Collection

Each entry includes:

• Rich ecological lore and behavior profiles

• Distinct combat identities and encounter roles

• Unique abilities and thematic mechanics

• Ready-to-use statblocks (5E compatible, easily adapted)

These creatures are built to feel different at the table—forcing players to rethink tactics, terrain, and survival.

The Lineup

• Noctyrix (Bat/Dragon) – Echolocating terror of the deep dark

• Plaguewing (Vulture/Dragon) – Rot-cloud scavenger and disease vector

• Anklydrake (Ankylosaurus/Dragon) – Walking siege weapon with a bone-crushing tail

• Glaciermaw (Polar Bear/Dragon) – Ice-shattering juggernaut of the frozen north

• Tidefang (Shark/Dragon) – Blood-scenting nightmare beneath the waves

• Scorpinex (Scorpion/Dragon) – Venomous desert ambusher

• Skyrazor (Eagle/Dragon) – Bladed-wing predator of the storm peaks

• Miremaw (Crocodile/Dragon) – Swamp god that drags entire villages into the water

• Rendclasp (Anteater/Dragon) – Three-clawed nightmare that hugs things to death

• Razorclaw (Tiger/Dragon) – Lightning-fast jungle stalker that strikes from nowhere

5E Ready

Whether you're running 5E, Shadowdark, OSR, or your own homebrew system, these creatures drop directly into your game with minimal conversion.

Each hybrid is designed with a clear role:

• Ambusher

• Siege Monster

• Apex Predator

• Environmental Hazard

They don’t just fight your players. They change how your players fight.

Why Use Hybrid Dragons?

Because your players already know how to fight dragons. They don’t know how to fight:

• A dragon that hunts by sound

• A dragon that drags them underwater

• A dragon that drops them from the sky

• A dragon that waits

If your campaign needs fresh monsters, unforgettable encounters, and creatures that feel alive in their environments… This is your next drop.

Evolution didn’t stop at dragons. It made them worse.

Before the gods shaped the land, the Fomorians held it. After them came the Tuatha Dé Danann — divine, radiant, terrible in their beauty — and with them the poets who could blister a king's face with words, the druids who fed themselves to the earth, and the warriors who carried the crow-goddess's shadow into every battle they fought.

Children of the Tuatha brings five Celtic mythology subclasses to your D&D 5th Edition table, each built around a specific mythological archetype drawn from the Irish mythological cycles, the Ulster Cycle, and the broader pan-Celtic tradition.

The Five Subclasses:

Path of the Fomorian (Barbarian) — The Fomorians predate the gods. When you rage, you become a vessel for something older than order: reality warps around you, enemies flinch from your wrongness, and at the height of your power you can grow to monstrous size and curse your foes with a baleful eye.

Oath of the Tuatha Dé (Paladin) — Swear yourself to the principle of sacred sovereignty. Wield the sunspear light of Lugh, bind enemies with the authority of divine rulership, and at your peak manifest the full radiance of the divine folk — wings of light, resistance to all harm, and an aura that scorches the unworthy.

Circle of the Green Man (Druid) — Serve the cycle of growth and death above all things. Speak with plants, drive roots to murderous purpose, wear the face of the forest itself, and offer your own vitality to the earth when the moment demands it. Death cannot hold you — but it will keep what you owe.

College of the Ollam (Bard) — Attain the highest bardic rank in Irish tradition. Turn your Bardic Inspiration into cutting satire that subtracts from your enemies' rolls. Bind the powerful with geasa — magical oaths that punish violation with psychic devastation. Deliver a Satire of Ruination that stuns legendary foes and strips them of their authority.

The Morrigan's Mantle (Ranger) — Accept the battle-goddess's blessing and her shadow both. Summon spectral crows as scouts, read the death-wyrd of those around you, shift into crow, wolf, or eel form, call battlefield prophecy to turn enemy rolls against them, and carry the Morrigan's favour into death itself — and back out again.

What's Inside:

• Five complete subclasses, fully detailed from entry level to 20th level
• Mythological context and flavor text for each archetype
• A note on sources and the traditions these subclasses draw from
• Fully compatible with D&D 5th Edition — drop into any campaign

Pairs perfectly with Relics of Folklore: Magic Items from Celtic Myth (Volumes 1 & 2) from Elderlight Press — give your players the subclass and the artifacts to match.

The old gods are watching. Which one will you serve?
