2019-08-30 06:58:50 +0000 UTC View PostI've been working on this week's main book on and off for years.
The first deities in the book to see print were Darlen and Braal who featured in Retribution--our first ever product which we released way back in 2010. (Next March is our ten-year anniversary by the way!) Since...
2019-08-23 06:50:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, sees the first “proper” release of the Dungeon Dressing line. Last month, we tackled Names & Legends, but—of course—that release didn’t have any crunch. This week, Dungeon Dressing: Altars changes all that. We’ve got 5e, OSR, Pathfinder 1 and Pathfinder 2 editi...

2019-07-15 13:40:09 +0000 UTC View PostI designed this week's Dungeon Backdrop for the paladins in my campaign so they'd have something to aim for in the future--some epic quest to recover a holy weapon that could run as a subplot through the coming months and years. Turns out, I don't have any paladin characters in my campaign*--this...
2019-07-12 07:04:15 +0000 UTC View PostBack in the shadow-cloaked depths of Raging Swan Press’s early years we released the Dungeon Dressing line which was eventually compiled into GM’s Miscellany: Dungeon Dressing—a massive 300+ page book. It’s been one of our most successful books and rather marvellously won Endzeit...
2019-07-09 11:50:40 +0000 UTC View PostLast week, I posted a poll about the Monstrous Lairs line and what should replace it once it comes to an end in December. That poll is now closed and it's time to share the results (but in the meantime, thank you for voting).
It looks like the majority of you would like Urban Locations to r...

Several years ago, Mike revealed the thriving, but cursed, village of Edgewood, but until now the village was only available in a Pathfinder edition. Now, Mike has added a ton of extra detail, and we've also taken the op...
2019-07-05 06:52:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s been two years since we started the Monstrous Lair (or sometimes the Monstrous Liars) line, and it that time it’s been a great success. That said, all good things must come to an end, and the Monstrous Lair line is shortly to come to an end.
Monstrous Lairs is a System Neutra...
2019-07-02 11:42:14 +0000 UTC View PostAs you might suspect, I'm a big fan of dragons (as a GM, obviously, not as a player). My players haven't fought a black dragon recently, but I'm getting ready for some later events in my Adventures in Shadow campaign with 2019-06-28 07:04:46 +0000 UTC View Post

2019-06-07 08:23:18 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, we've got an atypical 20 Things for you. I don't think we've touched on torture chambers before, which is a shame as they can be a great venue for either a desperate combat or impassioned role-playing. Now we give you loads of tools to make the torture chambers (and their occupants) in...
