REALITY IS NEGOTIABLE.

THIS BOOK ISN’T.

Welcome to Big A Book of Hooks: Mage Edition, Volume 2—a weaponized idea factory for Mage: The Ascension Storytellers who are tired of staring at a blank page while reality waits to be broken.

Inside this book are 1,500 razor-sharp adventure hooks, divided into 15 core categories that hit every nerve of the Mage experience: belief, paradox, power, politics, spirits, technology, and the slow, dangerous argument over what the world means. No filler. No railroads. Just pressure points designed to explode into stories the moment your players touch them.

These aren’t prewritten plots.

They’re problems without safe answers.

Because the universe isn’t going to argue with itself.

1500 hooks, 15 categories:

Consequences of Love: A d100 Romantasy Table

In romantasy, love is never free.

Every stolen kiss, forbidden vow, and reckless devotion carries a price — social, magical, physical, or fate-bound. Crowns crack. Immortality fades. Courts whisper. Powers unravel. And sometimes… you become something else entirely.

This d100 table of Consequences of Love explores the fallout of passion in enchanted realms. Drawing on folklore, fae bargains, cursed bloodlines, and high court drama, these entries offer meaningful costs and story-driving complications for romantic arcs of every tone — from tragic and bittersweet to dangerous and transformative.

Inside you’ll find consequences that are:

• Social (exile, scandal, rival suitors, broken alliances)

• Magical (lost powers, unstable enchantments, soulmarks, curses)

• Physical (wings shed, beastforms triggered, immortalities broken)

• Emotional & Psychological (obsession, prophetic bonds, shared pain, unraveling identities)

Each entry is written to be evocative and adaptable, making it easy to scale from subtle narrative weight to dramatic fairytale tragedy.

Because in enchanted realms… love always leaves a mark.

👉 Be sure to check out the other tables in this romantasy product line, including NPCs, outfits, alluring magical powers, and fae blood traits to deepen your world and stories.

The Watch: Law & Authority NPCs | 5e Monsters (2024 & 2014)

The Watch is a monster supplement for 5e that presents law and authority as a structured, escalating system rather than a handful of interchangeable guards. Instead of relying on a single generic “city guard” stat block, this book provides multiple interconnected ladders of legal power—from runners, patrols, and wardens to prison officials, magistrates, and realm-level justiciars—each designed to represent a specific role within a functioning justice apparatus.

The intent of this product is consequence-driven play and institutional pressure. Each role supports a distinct style of encounter: arrests, crowd control, pursuit, detention, interrogation, legal escalation, or political fallout. Jurisdictions, legal codes, and loyalties are intentionally undefined, allowing these stat blocks to represent city watches, road wardens, prison authorities, royal courts, or local magistracies in any setting. These NPCs are not obstacles to be fought and forgotten—they are tools of order, leverage, and response. How fair they are, how corrupt they’ve become, and how far their authority reaches is left entirely in the GM’s hands.

Images are provided with nine color-bordered tokens for each.

The Watch

Watch Runner (CR 0): Messenger and alarm-raiser who signals disturbances and summons reinforcements rather than engaging in combat.

Watch Recruit (CR 1/8): Newly sworn guard with basic training and limited experience, quick to call for backup when threatened.

Watch Patrol (CR 1/4): Standard city guard assigned to streets and gates, trained to restrain suspects and hold ground.

Watch Sergeant (CR 1): Veteran officer who commands patrols, coordinates responses, and stabilizes chaotic situations.

Watch Captain (CR 3): District authority responsible for investigations, warrants, and tactical oversight of watch operations.

Watch Commander (CR 6): Senior city official empowered to declare lockdowns, mobilize forces, and direct large-scale enforcement.

Road Wardens

Senior Warden (CR 2): Experienced frontier officer trusted to pursue fugitives across distance and coordinate field operations.

Border Marshal (CR 5): Regional authority overseeing borders and passes, capable of organizing extended manhunts and route closures.

Custodial Authority

Gaoler (CR 1/8): Jail attendant responsible for keys, cells, and prisoner supervision within local holding facilities.

Prison Guard (CR 1/4): Custodial officer trained to escort, restrain, and suppress unrest among detainees.

Iron Warder (CR 1): Hardened containment specialist assigned to dangerous or high-risk prisoners.

Chain Captain (CR 2): Officer overseeing prisoner transports and labor gangs, enforcing discipline through coordination and force.

Black Cell Warden (CR 4): Elite custodian entrusted with political prisoners and confidential detainees in secure facilities.

Legal Authority

Court Clerk (CR 0): Record-keeper who issues summons, maintains legal documentation, and supports formal proceedings.

Magistrate’s Agent (CR 1/4): Investigative officer serving warrants, gathering evidence, and executing judicial orders.

Magistrate (CR 1): Local judicial authority empowered to interpret law, conduct hearings, and authorize arrests.

Crown Justiciar (CR 2): Royal legal representative who overrides local courts and supervises major cases.

High Magistrate (CR 4): Senior judicial authority controlling courts and enforcement within a city or province.

Lord Justiciar (CR 5): Realm-level arbiter whose rulings carry sweeping legal and political consequences.

The Distant Prize is a reusable adventure engine for creating quest-based fantasy adventures, usable with any system or setting.

A map lies open on the table. A relic rests in a ruined city beyond the marsh. The party agrees that reaching it matters, and that agreement creates direction. Distance turns intention into action, and action becomes the engine of play.

A quest begins with separation that demands movement. The prize stands outside the characters’ present safety, influence, or understanding. Closing that gap requires preparation, endurance, and risk. Each decision either advances the party toward the objective or complicates the path that leads there. Momentum builds because distance always remains in view.

An adventure engine is a reusable sourcebook designed to generate adventures around a single plot archetype. It isolates the pressures that make that structure function, then provides tools to create new scenarios shaped by the same logic. You aren’t handed a fixed storyline to run once. You’re equipped with a framework that can produce many journeys anchored to a shared core. Each engine clarifies what gives a specific kind of adventure its energy and shows how to bring that energy to the table.

The Distant Prize equips you to craft quests that feel deliberate, competitive, and transformative. Every adventure begins with a clearly defined objective beyond reach and advances through escalating resistance shaped by choice. Rivalry intensifies urgency. Distance magnifies consequence. When the prize is finally claimed, its impact reshapes the landscape of play and opens a new horizon that invites the next journey.

This file pack contains basic rules, an adventure, maps and pregenerated characters to play with Chemlight, an RPG inspired by movies, videogames and literature like Robocop, Metro 2033, Underrail and such.

What remains of humankind lives now inside the subway system of a devastated megacity, the surface not even a memory. Old megacorporations that used to rule that city now are broken and fight gang wars against each other for power, while small stations manage to put some food on the table and protection from mutated wildlife and raiders, hunting and recycling whatever they can find to live another day.
Even if death lurks in the darkness, civilization still survive, sometimes with unpredictable results, like old underground factories still in working conditions, sometimes occupied by gangs or peaceful communities, sometimes guarded by corrupted AI's and their all-purpose bots, or filled with weird mutated creatures.
Safe, civilized places now looks like candle lights in the darkness, flickering like they're about to turn off.

Prague is the fifth volume in the Asteroid Cybele series and can be combined in a campaign with the earlier volumes (especially with the long-distance transportation made possible by The Fleet.)

It details the major European community in Prague, Czech Republic, with its inhabitants and several adventure scenarios. Additional adventure scenarios expand past the immediate environs of Prague due to its importance as the cultural center of the mainland of Europe. The need to travel to the Crimea and across the Black Sea will involve use of the Fleet and there is ample opportunity for the GM to create additional encounters and adventuring along the route.

A great deal more information on Cybernetics and even more adventuring involving the possible mutations caused by The Ruin are included in the multiple adventure scenarios and Appendices found in the book.

We at FGU hope that you find Prague to be as useful and entertaining as we do and that members of your party continue to survive The Ruin.

The work never stopped—only the faces changed. Bounty boards refreshed by the hour, contracts layered atop contracts until no one remembered who had started the killing or why. Fighters drifted from skirmish to skirmish, selling skill, fear, and reputation to whoever still believed in victory. Hunters tracked names instead of people, numbers instead of souls. It was honest work, in its own way. Simple. A mark. A price. An ending. Then the bounties began to change. Targets appeared without histories—no records, no origins, no prior sightings. They didn’t run like fugitives or hide like criminals. They moved with purpose, leaving devastation behind them as collateral rather than intent. Entire crews vanished pursuing a single name. Others returned shaken, their stories fractured and inconsistent, describing enemies that bled like smoke or spoke with borrowed voices. At first, it was dismissed as exaggeration. Hunters lie. Fighters panic. Survivors always need their fear to mean something. But the payouts kept rising. Private syndicates, anonymous patrons, and shadowed authorities all posted the same marks, offering obscene sums for confirmation alone. Capture was optional. Survival was not guaranteed. The language of the contracts grew vague—neutralize, interrupt, delay. As if no one expected the threat to be ended, only slowed. Rumors spread through backchannels and armories. Of something hunting the hunters. Of dogfights where targeting systems failed moments before impact. Of firefights where enemies adapted mid-battle, learning weapons and tactics in real time. Some claimed the threat wasn’t singular, but recursive—each encounter birthing something worse. Now the bounty halls are crowded with killers who no longer trust the work, and fighters who sense that this war has no front line. Every contract taken feeds the cycle. Every victory sharpens the enemy. And somewhere in the dark between engagements, a truth waits to be claimed: This time, the bounty may be on all of you.
