In our quest to make Raging Swan Press’s books more useful, interesting and fun, we’ve started to include even more GM-focused material on our inner covers.

Away with the advert that used to lurk there! Instead, we have a new style of cover that presents three tables of trinkets. Use them as starting trinkets for your characters or as interesting things the characters find on their adventures.

This inner cover presents trinkets for gnomes, artisans and sorcerers.

This download includes PDF and markdown versions of the inner cover.

You’ve fallen backwards through time, fam, like 70 million years. Not entirely sure how you got here, we’re pretty sure those aliens, the Lobsters (or at least that’s what we call them), are responsible. And it’s crazy-dangerous here. There’s dinosaurs everywhere—proper ones, not just the boomer kind—and the Lobsters have giant killer robots! And, sheesh, we’re just kids.

Fortunately, you’ve grabbed yourself some of the Lobster’s tech. That BrainLink somehow gives you the ability to control a dinosaur with your brain, and that DinoDisc seems to somehow suck them into a pocket dimension, and let you summon them back when you need them. Seems to keep them happy and fed too.

There’s other people here, too. People who also fell through time and learnt their own ways to survive. Some of them got here decades ago. They maintain outposts around the place. Lots of them are sketchy, full of pirates and snakes, but if you stay sus, you can maybe trade for something that slaps. There’s even a few with legit vibes. If you clock one of these, pin it!
Now we’re all looking for a way home, or to defeat the Lobsters, or just to survive. So grab your DinoDisc, put on your BrainLink and let’s go grab us some dinos!

Rifts & Raptos is game about kids lost in the Cretaceous era, surrounded by dinosaurs, and in the middle of an alien invasion. Built to capture the themes and moods of adventure-kids media like The Goonies and Stranger Things, and the monster-training and battling of Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Dinosaur King, whilst also educating you about the charismatic macrofauna of the late Cretaceous, it has a simple system that focuses on both the stories of friendship and adventure, and the excitement of battling dinosaurs.

This product provides you with a two-page, form-fillable character sheet for each of the six playbooks in the game, with all the rules for your special moves and expanded space for recording your dinosars and their special rules.

Note: The file uses a special interactive feature for shading the dice icons, which may not work in some browsers. Make sure you are using Adobe Acrobat or other fully-compliant reader to make use of its full functionality.

Fenmere is a valley where nothing is openly broken—yet everything is quietly moving out of place.

For generations, its river crossings, fields, and hill farms have been held in a balance of custom and inherited authority.The Durkins speak as those who have always spoken for it. The Shirriffs keep order with little more than presence. The halfling homesteads, once granted land in uneasy settlement, have become permanent features of the landscape.

But stability here is not the absence of conflict. It is its containment.

Rumour moves faster than law. Small losses, disputed rights, restless youths, and strangers moving through the southern wood at dusk all accumulate into patterns no one fully controls. Each account is partial; together they begin to shift the valley’s sense of itself.

This is a setting of investigation and consequence rather than certainty. Players are not given a single mystery to solve, but a living system of competing truths. Every conversation matters. Every decision alters how authority is seen. Force resolves some problems—and creates others that do not wait to be named.

The question at the heart of Fenmere is not what is happening, but who has the right to define it.

Fenmere is not a place to clear. It is a place to stand within, listen to, and realise you have already changed. 

Fantasy Furniture Token Pack for FoundryVTT

This token pack aims to give Game Masters access to a standard range of furniture, Props, and Objects that can be used to flesh out a wide range of fantasy settings, such as a tavern, medieval house, wizard tower, or even a dark dungeon.

This is our very first 3D-rendered virtual tabletop token package of furniture tokens, for use as tokens during a game for movable furniture, or as images for adventure map creation.

Token Scale

Tokens and adventure maps from Studio WyldFurr make use of a 3:1 scale, which is the same scale we use for our Map Tiles art assets. This scale matches three on-screen pixels to each real-world inch, giving us a map grid square of 180 pixels.

Purchase of this product will unlock access to the content on the following virtual tabletop roleplaying platform:

Object Token Set

Each object token set (also called a character set for character tokens) contains the object rendered from an offset top-down view, with the object turned 45 degrees between each render. Some sets do not have each angle rendered because the object looks the same regardless of which side has been rendered. Character sets are rendered differently from object sets, in that the character is rendered in a variety of action poses, instead of being turned around between each rendering.

Isometric Tokens

Each token set depicts an object from a slightly offset top-down perspective - this is done to create the appearance of “depth and detail” for the object/character. To complement this, some sets include what we call an “isometric” token that was rendered from a top-down view, without any offset.

DM Essentials #125: 10 Rogue Cutpurse Encounters

In most games, the pickpocket is a nuisance. A failed Perception check, a few lost coins, a brief chase. Then forgotten.

But a cutpurse is not a nuisance. They are the poorest soldier in the underworld. They work the crowds—markets, festivals, dockyards—where a bump and an apology hides the snip of a purse string. They steal to eat, to pay off debts, to forget. They are the lowest rung of the criminal ladder, and they know that one mistake could cost them a hand or their freedom. Some are desperate parents, former soldiers with no work, kids who grew up in the gutter and knew no other way. They carry guilt for every purse they have lifted. They dream of getting out. They never do.

DM Essentials #125 gives you ten ways to make cutpurses feel desperate, human, and morally complex. They are not villains—they are survivors. But they have done things they cannot undo.

What's Inside?

The Cutpurse's World (Short Essay): Who they are, why they steal, and the guilt that follows every theft.

10 Encounters with the Street Thief: Each one gives you a situation, the truth behind it, and a way for the players to respond.

- The Bump – In a crowded market, a stranger bumps into a party member. A tug at their coin purse. The thief is a hungry kid.
- The Wrong Purse – A cutpurse stole from a gang lord. The purse contains a marker. They are terrified and asking for help.
- The Apprentice – An older thief teaching a child to pick pockets. The lesson is survival, not greed.
- The Informant – A cutpurse offers information in exchange for protection. They are running from a rival gang.
- The Frame – A cutpurse is caught stealing from a noble. They were set up. The party must decide: justice or mercy?
- The Confession – “I have stolen from hundreds of people. I am not proud. But I have a daughter who needs medicine.”
- The Stolen Letter – A letter containing an assassination plot. The cutpurse cannot read. They are being followed.
- The Rival – Two cutpurses argue over turf. Both are desperate. Neither is evil.
- The Lost Child – A cutpurse’s brother has been taken by a rival gang. They need help to rescue them.
- The Getaway – A cutpurse is caught red-handed and runs. The party must choose: catch them, or let them go.

Quick Reference Table: Roll d10 and get a full encounter hook in seconds.

Who This Is For:

- DMs who want low-stakes crime to feel human, not mechanical
- Players who think a pickpocket is just a random encounter until they meet one with a starving child
- Anyone who understands that the hand that steals may also be the hand that feeds

The market is crowded. The hand is quick. The purse is light. Will you chase the thief, or will you let them disappear into the crowd?

The story is King, Queen and Jack!

Mage: The Ascension RotE (Rule of Threes Edition) is a standalone version of the original, award-winning game by White Wolf and Onyx Path, designed for quick, narrative-driven sessions, using minimal rules and calculations. 

RoTE was designed for convention play, where session time is limited, aimed at people who generally lack the time or energy to dive into the complexities of the original game, or simply those who favor a narrative style of play, free of number crunching.

Knowledge of the original game, its concepts and metaplot are not required, but highly encouraged. This version of the game uses D6s, that is to say standard six-sided dice. Sets of four to six dice for each player and a set for the Storyteller should be enough.

Inside you will find:
• A succinct, clear introduction to the core concepts of the game.
• Rules for quick character creation.
• Fast and versatile resolution mechanics for just about anything your players might come up with.

When Elmaran scouts first explored the southern cape of the Jungles of Araboatora, they named these lands Estentia, after the dynasty of their king: Estente. These lands were open, uninhabited, and safe, unlike the fertile bay further to the north. The sea route around the jungles soon proved to be a profitable connection between the Kingdom of Elmara and the Kingdom of Tarnen. The southern cape could not remain absent as a stop along this route for long, and the first settlements arose within the very first years of its use

Along a long and wind-swept peninsula where the mountains fall sharply into the sea lies the small domain of Sezo. The land here is narrow and rugged, its cliffs rising steeply above restless waters, and its soil too rocky to sustain large fields. Few would consider such a place a prize worth conquering. Yet for generations this harsh coastline has remained an independent han, ruled by a modest but determined line of daimyō who learned to survive by turning the peninsula’s difficult geography to their advantage. Isolated between forested ridges, sheer cliffs, and the open sea, Sezo grew into a quiet but resilient maritime lordship, often overlooked by larger powers.
