Fire & Fear: Next Issue of Lair Magazine

The next issue of Lair magazine, Bridges & Barriers, will be dropping in two weeks! Below is an overview of what you'll be getting. Remember that the issue is split into different tiers and that patrons at higher levels of patronage get access to more content.

Tier 1 ($5 patrons)

• Constructive Creatures: Half-Dragons - An assortment of half-dragon abominations (well not all are, technically) with which to strike fear into character hearts.
• A Grim Assassination - Level-nine 5e adventure that is part 1 in our Rise of a Dragon adventure arc that features bunches of the new half-dragons.

Tier 1 and 2 ($10 patrons)

• Half-Dragon Encounters - Stand-alone encounters featuring the new half-dragons.
• The Assault on Fort Pekham - Level-ten 5e adventure that is part 2 in our Rise of a Dragon adventure arc.
• plus everything from the list above

Tier 1, 2, and 3 ($15 and above patrons)

• Grimstone Random Tables - Several random tables to help you flesh out the details in Grimstone: Townies, Friend or Foe, Dead or Alive, and more!
• A Dragon Ascends - Level-eleven 5e adventure that is part 3 in our Rise of a Dragon adventure arc.
• plus everything from both lists above -- you get everything!

This month's content contributors include Danni Arriaga, Filip Avromovic, Zac Chaney, Owen Davies, and Ed Robinson. The maps for this issue were created by Oliver Bogler and Harmony the Bard.

And as always, a super huge thanks to Ashley "Sunny" Jones (project management and editing), Zac Chaney (editing), Thomas Townsend (editing), Mark MacPherson (graphic design and layout), and Ed Robinson (game development and balance) for all their hard work to help make this issue happen.

Bonus Content

• $10+ Patrons: more City Tiles created by BluBerrey that you can use to create your own city maps
• $15+ Patrons: a Map Pack with 10 maps designed for VTT use (4 "dungeons" and 6 overland maps)
• $25+ Patrons: The Crystal Carnival, a level 6, location-based adventure with digital maps.

This bonus content is NOT part of Lair Magazine. They are stand-alone items that patrons at different tiers will get for free! :D
