The theme of our next Warlock booklet is big Boss Monsters! And there's some fun ones from CR 3 to CR 27 coming, as you can see in the Sneak Peek of the Table of Contents posted above.
This booklet should reach backers in November, so make some room in your dungeons for the big 'uns!
Sometimes bards are creatures of whimsy and merriment. Sometimes they are unspeakable horrors that need to be put down!
This new double Lair by Jeff Lee takes the darker path, with memorable results. A new monster and a new adventure for 7th level PCs in Zobeck makes this a great addition to the Warlock Lairs series.

The next booklet is just about ready to print! And the topic is clockwork, a location of great importance to the gear goddess, a very strange disease, and a medley of mechanical wonders by Sarah Madsen and Greg Marks.
This is a 32-page booklet, going out to you in early September, dear patrons.
Things get sketchy quickly out in the Wastes. This adventure brings together three dangerous strands: an enchantress of the shadow fey, two distinct werecreatures, and the Demon Lord of Night.
You probably should not open it. Much too dangerous.

I'm extremely happy to announce that the fine folks at Fantasy Grounds have converted the first twenty (yes, 20) Warlock Lairs into Fantasy Grounds format! If you use that virtual tabletop, you know it can save you a ton of prep time for online games.
To the barricades! Usually the wizards and spellslingers grab the glory, but this time out we're getting martial. With 6 martial subclasses, new mercenary backgrounds, 8 new creatures, and lost battle magic spells and items, this is one of our largest zines to date (and thanks entirely to your support). We're confident that one or two of the print copies have made their way to patrons, and here...

The next zine came together quickly, and is LOADED with martial elements and the detritus of battle. With designers Kelly Pawlik and Brian Suskind going in-depth on subclasses, martial options, gear, and some of the lore of the companies of the Seven Cities, there's something for everyone who straps on armor and wields a blade.

It's our first double-sized Warlock Lair, for 9th level characters and designed by Jeff Lee, and included for all patrons at the $3 tier and up. This one uses a much, MUCH larger map from Dyson Logos than our prior Lairs, plus it features a new monster and an excellent villain. All that adds up to a double-size Lair, as discussed about 2 weeks ago when we announced the larger format.

2019-07-08 17:45:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe Zobeck Gazetteer exists and gets a lot of use, but one city book is not enough. We're debating doing a second city book or smaller supplements on various important cities.
The question is where, of course, so we're asking you, dear patrons. Comments welcome as well!
This June brought the finale for the second Warlock Lair trilogy, and it's a good time to take stock of the series. After 37 installments, we're making some improvements to the format, starting in July. Here's what's coming:
Kelly Pawlik's "Fowl Play" trilogy is complete with the release of this newest Lair, for 3rd level characters. It brings together the return of a familiar villain with new twisted creatures.
