Hey Critical Crew!
This release leaves behind the ferromancers at the front lines of the Mages' War and instead heads for the endless sea of stars of the Hollow Expanse. A colossal black hole covers the horizon while a ship orbits ominously. Step into La'Zairus and gamble with lifespan and memories! Its reputation precedes it throughout the realms, and a common childhood song goes:
Gamble your future. Gamble your past! Gamble your youth (you know it won’t last) If you want to win time, you must go all in! But here in La'Zairus…. The house always wins....

This month brings our latest STL for our Apprentice and Loremaster tiers - the Bludsport ! This STL file comes presupported by our good friends at TableFlip Foundry.
As always - STL's are NOT backlogged, so be sure to download it locally this month!

We've got 5 brand new encounters of varying challenge ratings and settings -ready to drop right into your existing campaigns, or can just as easily be used as a springboard into a new adventure.
Take your players through encounters like: crossing paths with a bounty hunter and learn a lesson in accountability; get wrongly accused of cheating at a gambling table and have to navigate the fallout; and investigate strange happenings at a retirement home where a resident recently returned from La'Zairus....

You get 4 brand new monster stat blocks of various challenge ratings and our latest vehicle statblock of La'Zairus itself - to bring the extraplanar fantasy to your table!
With stats like the Time Larva, the Bounty Hunter, and the Bludsport, your table is sure to be in for some high-stakes encounters!

This release brings our latest subclass - the Anomalous Sorcerous Origin. These sorcerers have innate control of magic as well as understanding and manipulating of probability due to their exposure to the Anomaly - a supermassive black hole that La'Zairus orbits. The Anomaly has granted the tiniest modicum of understanding that there are near-endless worlds, realities, and possibilities out there, and there are times when you can get the dial of probabilities to tip towards your end.
We also have our latest player race - the flyfolk denizens of La'Zairus known as the Calypt. Cursed with life spans often lasting mere months, these humanoid flyfolk have built their society around the concept of using lifespan as currency, and have established the infamous La’Zairus Time Casino as a means to furthering their existence. La’Zairus draws gamblers and opportunists from all across the Hollow Expanse (and beyond) - each seeking to reshape their fate by wagering years of their lives, their memories, their wealth, and more.
And lastly, we're covering all your player's needs with our 3 latest feats and 4 latest deficiencies, to allow for further character customization.

We've also got our 12 latest items and 2 latest grafts! Kick back at the gambling tables and relax with Malchormac's Finest Gin or Vatling Juice, but keep an eye out for security with their Ager guns or bounty hunters with the Tri Shot Laser Gun. And give yourself the upper hand with grafts like the X-Ray Eye or the Shuffler's Hand.

And what better way to protect a casino from pesky spellcasters trying to steal the House's advantage with magic than by brand new warps?! This release introduces our 5 latest warps (the antithesis of magic crafted by the Blank, using technology to literally warp reality and execute magic-like effects).

We've also got 12 total battle maps (gridded and gridless variations) - ready for the included encounters (or just as easily used as standalone maps).

And lastly, we are bringing you 9 VTT-ready tokens for all of your online needs!
