If you see yourself as a Pathfinder GM I'd love to know which edition you are using (or which edition you see yourself using most in 2020).
I'm trying to get a better view of the popularity of Pathfinder's two editions among my heroic patrons, so I know where to focus my Pathfinder-ba...

2020-01-24 07:48:34 +0000 UTC View PostI love the title of this Eventure.
This week, we've got a pirate-themed eventure for your characters to experience. I'm sure your players will be keen to get embroiled in the machinations of pirates and--perhaps--gain some clues as to the location of one or more buried pirate caches!

As I mentioned earlier this month, 2020 is a year of digital rebirth for Raging Swan Press. A big part of this is moving to a better, more modern site and store. Over the last ten years, our digital grow...
2020-01-16 10:30:43 +0000 UTC View PostI love adventures and supplements with interesting moral quandaries "baked in". When Jeff Gomez originally pitched Bleakflat I was intrigued by the village's setup (see below for more details!) I would love to drop my current group into Bleakflat and see how they deal with the village's sit...

With the year barely a few days old, we've got our first product of 2020--and its a free download to you as a thank you for your epic support. If your campaign will shortly be featuring a vampire lurking in a castle then 20 Things #45: Vampire's Castle is the downl...

As you might recall, the Monstrous Lair compilation was meant to be released last week, but due to a slight problem with the cover I pushed back the release date a week and released Mike Welham’s Village Backdrop: Idyll 2.0 slightly...
2019-12-13 08:05:22 +0000 UTC View PostThis week (in a slight change of plan) we return to Idyll for an expanded look at Mike Welham's popular (and atypical) planar refuge. Originally, Idyll 2.0 was slated for release next week, but a minor problem with the print cover of GM's Miscellany: Monstrous Lair II has necessitated so...

2019-11-22 07:55:08 +0000 UTC View PostMagic items are a subject very close to my heart. As both a player and a GM, I love magic items. I hate, however, the commoditisation of magic items prevalent in games since 3rd edition. How can magic items be so wondrous and special if they are for sale all over the place?
In the past, we'...
2019-11-15 08:08:55 +0000 UTC View PostSeveral months ago, you might recall, I announced the Monstrous Lair line would be ending in December. The Monstrous Lair line has been very popular and we've enjoyed publishing it, but the end is nigh. The main reason for this is that the line is System Neutral, and we are running out of classic...
2019-11-14 12:48:37 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, we've got a couple of cracking new products for you! Wolves are a staple of low-level games, but they are often nothing more than a random encounter with no real depth or development. Wolves attack. Wolves die. The party moves on. With Monstrous Lair #43: Wolves' Lair, Steve H...
2019-11-08 08:03:38 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, we've got a cracking addition to the 20 Things line.
I'm a big fan of making magic items wondrous--they are, after all, the most coveted of treasures and they should be--well--magical. Of course, a big part of a magic item's allure is its powers; it wouldn't be very magical...

I love The Thingonomicon. For me, it's one of those books that encapsulates what Raging Swan Press is all about. I love using random tables to add depth and flavour to the game. Not only does it enrich the players' game, but it keeps the GM on his or her toes! It's great fun to "go with ...
2019-10-23 09:35:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe are back in the dungeon this week, with one of my favourite dungeon features—pits. Pits are often overlooked as traps; they can be pretty boring, after all. They open, one or more characters fall in and then the characters climb out.

Feigrvidr first saw the light of day several years ago when I lured Stephen Radney-MacFarland into Raging Swan Press's sinister clutches. Sadly, the first edition of the village was only written for Pathfinder 1st edition. With the release of 2nd edition, however, it seemed the perfect time to ex...
