Hey folks!
I've just finished writing and reviewing the wereraven adventure "The Unkindness," which will be released tomorrow to all Patrons at the Copper+ tier.
If you want to get a hold of this 24-page murder (no pun intended) mystery adventure set in the Omerian city of Murktown (...

I’m midway through the Broadsword Guide to Hunting Werebeasts. I’ve got a couple more adventures and some accessory content planned. It will then pop up on our Backerkit campaign in January for Patreon-related content.
We’re continuing the monster hunting momentum....

I've got two formatting styles I've been using for content lately, both pulling from old school looks. I'm trying to decide which one I like better. So, I thought I'd poll all of you.
In case you need a reminder, here they are:

Hey all,
The last poll got me thinking: what sort of unusual lycanthropes should we add to the next book? I've already covered werejaguars and dread swine (coming out tomorrow). And the 5e book covers werewolves, werebears, wereboars, wererats, and weretigers, as well as reverse lycanthrope...

Lycanthropes are the big feature this month. However, there’s so many out there, we’re going to have to narrow the adventures down to just 4, maybe 5.
Vote for your top 3 below. Chances are I’ll do werewolves anyways cause, you know… I have to.

I'll start later this week on the content for BSM #25. To ensure we can market these individually at cons and in distribution, I want to have a theme with the issue.
So what theme should it be? These are all based on the old Van Richten Guides.

Someone earlier asked about FoundryVTT packs. We will have some new ones coming up soon with the new Crows in the Attic content. Unfortunately, we can't do FoundryVTT packs for the other content that's come out as it is either a) not our IP or b) not really FoundryVTT friendly.

I've been doing some retail therapy lately, collecting all the old Ravenloft modules from the 80s-90s. There used to be a series of books called Van Richten's Guide, which took a different type of creature and created a whole book on how to identify, track, hunt, and destroy such c...
