Greetings adventurers!
Every once in awhile, we can’t help but visit a faire and the house of mirrors has always intrigued us so. Something about the idea of there being dozens of yourself all around, maybe all existing in different realities equally as real as ours. A novel concept and maybe a bit far fetched, but we’ve had more than our fair share of odd adventures collecting and cr...

It’s rare that you meet someone so pleasant that you question if they’re real. A kindly old man strolled into our shop asking if we’d like some tea. We thought he was just confused at the moment, but sure enough he pulled out a lovely little tea set and set to work brewing the most amazing cup of tea we’ve had in a long time. We thanked him for his kindness,...

Well, September has arrived and that means we're now heading into one of my favorite times of year. Fall is absolutely magical to me and with the start of this season, we get into spooky times as well. We'll be returning to spooky items and add-ons in October, but we've got plenty to release this month that we're excited to bring you.
First, the new items for the...

Flintlocks are a relatively new invention in our neck of the weird woods, but that hasn’t stopped artificers and tinkerers like us from plying our trade on them. There’s always something to tweak or something to improve. In this case, a rather demanding client with very broad shoulders was looking for an axe. He also mumbled something about a flamethrower being ...

Across the reaches of time and space, Span Hunters are feared for their cunning and their commitment to the task at hand. Once they're put onto a target, they rarely stop until that target has been eliminated. They choose to isolate and attack when the opportunity suits them best. Their signature butterfly daggers are coveted by many, but a Span Hunter worth their w...

While the dagger itself may seem beautiful with its swirling butterfly pattern around it, it’s impossible to deny the deadly nature of it. The juxtaposition of looks and the brutality it is capable of were quite a contrast to us as we became more aware of its abilities. The adventurers that brought it to us said that a horrible creature capable of manipulating tim...

A lonely inventor set about making a friend for himself that would last him through the bitter end. His pet rat Checkers was his greatest companion and the one that he could always count on to be right at his side. Now bound to this magical lighter, he can be your friend too.

This odd little trinket came to us by way of a traveling blacksmith. Well, at least he claimed to be a blacksmith as he shoved it into our hand and ran off with a crowd of angry merchants behind him saying something about counterfeit gold. You know, come to think of it, he didn’t seem to be carrying any tools. Well, no matter. Now you too can be a blacksmith witho...

Our friends at Brave New Worlds have just launched their first Kickstarter for their Zinequest project, TOMB. They have poured themselves into this project to create a dungeon and adventure inspired by their passions and fears, and any pledges or eyes on the project are more than appreciated.

We were in a not-so-great part of town trying to track down a reclusive artificer known as Ratty. He’s renowned for being hard to get a hold of, yet masterful at his craft if you can pin him down. We ended up finding him half-drunk in the backroom of a tavern yelling something about the importance of “pixel density” and while we had no clue what he was talking...

The Lightward's work is never easy. Bringing brightness and joy to even the darkest corners, they work tirelessly to show the world that good still exists. Weaving all colors of the rainbow, they try to resolve things peacefully, but for those that won't see reason, a Lightward will turn to their more destructive magics.

While some are made for combat with their swords flurrying and magic flinging, some are more of the mindful sort. We acquired this lute from an odd individual that said his plan had failed one too many times. You see, thinking ahead is a value of its own so long as your plans don’t fail. Perhaps he was just tired of being the brains of the operation. Perhaps he wa...

It's the start of August and that means we're ready to get moving on our latest releases for this month. It also means that it's time to take a look back at what all we've made this month. I love putting together these posts as it puts a nice bow on the content we created and brought to you all. I hope you enjoy it.
First, the new items for the month:
Greetings Adventurers!
This month, our One More Thing took us in a little bit of a different direction. Indeed, it took us straight up into the skies and to the goblin sky pirated city of Gruuk Jit'Jit. We put together a series of magic items to help fill out the wonderful world that the crew at Borough Bound are bringing to life and collaborated with them to bring a slice of the ci...

This one came to us in a rather odd fashion. You see, we were conducting some research on oceanic coral formations and their impacts on mythical aquatic civilizations when suddenly a goblin landed on the deck of the ship. He had this thing strapped to his back and the only words he said were “Guess I missed the target…” before hopping overboard and swimming to...

The perfect accessory for the less than noble professionals in the field, the Breacher's Cuffs are just the sort of thing you could find in the seedy underbelly of a crime filled town. Anyone wearing these bracers would do well to hide them lest people ask some questions.

Deep within the mountains, dwarves work laboriously to break through earth and stone. Those with the particular know-how have turned to magical items to make this process easier. One of the most effective ways to break down stone to rubble is the ever popular Stoneshearer. Difficult to craft, but purpose made, it would be at home in the hands of any particularly des...

This one was a bit to the point. In fact it was very pointy indeed. We’ll be honest, we won this one in a card game. The guy just couldn’t walk away no matter how many losing hands he played. It’s sad to see, but now we can bring you the ultimate gamblers weapon. Something for those rogue’s that can’t help but put a little risk into their lives. It’s a p...

The hands of resonance let you reach out to the world around you and sense what might be waiting for you around a corner or in the next room. It's not perfect, but you know, what ever is? These mitts even store a potential surprise for any that might get too close.

I’ll admit, this one was a tricky one to get our hands on. Sorry, I’ll stop. But seriously I think I deserve a hand for that one. Hey, don’t facepalm me. Seriously though, this special little mitt will make things a bit more difficult for prying eyes. They’re just drawn to look at the gaudiness of the glove and not so much at what else you might be up to in ...

We've been very heads down this month as we focus on completing a few upcoming projects that we're working on, but one of those was this month's "One More Thing". We polled our Kollaborators and asked what they would like to see from a few options and this barbarian subclass was the clear winner in that poll. Now here it is in all of its bloody glory for use at your ta...

Gleaming bright in the sun, this robe just will not hold on to any dirt. Trust me, we tried our best. We poured all kinds of condiments on it, rubbed it in the mud, heck we even tried some weird eldritch stuff that was in a spent KraCan but to no avail. This thing just will not get dirty. We did try some other experiments with it and well, I can definitely say this ...

Our second directly kraken themed item has clawed itself back from the briny deep and is now here in our new formats for all of you. This is still a really fun item for me. I love the idea of controlling a battlefield and this one really has the capability to do it effectively.

An axe fit for a king might sound like a threat, but in this case, that’s exactly what it appears to be. The opulence of this thing is a little much for my taste, but perhaps the more gaudy among us will enjoy the opulence weaved into the core of this mighty greataxe. Hopefully someone out there will use this responsibly. We wouldn’t want something this stunning...

Every once in a while something lands in our abyssal trove that we don’t really understand ourselves.

A device that can peer back across time and reveal secrets long fo...

Wizards of the world are always flitting back and forth with the flights of fancy and fanciful flying. They rarely have time to get down to the nitty gritty of dictation.

Thankfully, some enterprising individuals have come up with a way t...

Greetings Adventurers,
We've got something a little extra for you today from our friends at Cascade Crisis. They were so inspired by the Blade of the Battle Hymn and Paean's Protector that they spent the time modeling it all in 3D and putting together a character sheet for a wielder of the weapon and shield Rigby Higby.
We were absolutely blown away by the work that they...
