Warlock: Rogue's Gallery

We're not saying we did ship out the latest booklet, no indeed. Can't pin that on us! However, if you look, you might find one or two Warlock booklets might (by utter and astounding coincidence) be lurking in certain mailboxes tomorrow or the day after. Unpredictable-like. 

What are they doing? Nothing. Maybe delivering a sneak attack, purloining a few copper bits, or otherwise practicing r...

Warlock Ethereal: All Digital Tier

Hey everyone, we've had several requests for a higher reward tier that does NOT include the print component AKA booklets. So today we pulled out the braziers, ground the mandrake root, and extracted the jaundiced lotus flower, and MADE IT SO.

The Warlock Ethereal is a $6 all-digital tier with a new form of request included. We debated an even more luxurious set of all-digital rewards, but for no...

Lair 5: How About 16th Level?

One of the things that a Patreon makes possible is content that normally would never happen, such as a REALLY HIGH LEVEL material. James Haeck went out on a limb with this short adventure, building on the Dragon Empire's wish to recruit powerful, independent dragons into its ranks of nobles.

Just wanted to say that after being pretty bummed out about the proposed fee changes by Patreon, the whole Warlock crew is extremely pleased and relieved that they changed their minds!
