Hey Critical Crew!
We are nearing the end of 2024 and with the holidays upon us, we figured 'who better to ring in the New Year than Yul himself?' The Feast of Yul brings you everything you need to bring the holidays and festivities to your table with the Outsider of Giving himself!
Printable STL
This month brings our latest STL for our Apprentice and Loremaster tiers - the Wooly Jötunn Troll ! This STL file comes presupported by our good friends at TableFlip Foundry.
**NOTE - Due to some issues in post-processing, the STL will NOT be available with the initial release. All Loremasters and Apprentices will be notifed when it is uploaded into the Google Drive folder for the month for Patreon and into your library for Tribes.**
As always - STL's are NOT backlogged, so be sure to download it locally this month!
Encounters
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.
Receive a letter to keep a home clean under fear of crossing paths with a frightening hag; help pull off a holiday heist and steal presents from a home left unattended; and track a village's problem to the frozen cave that it has made its lair within...
Stat Blocks
You get 5 brand new monster stat blocks of various challenge ratings to bring the bitter threat of winter to your table!
Introduce your players to our latest (and most festive) golem - the Ornament Golem; bring your players toe to toe (paw?) with the hulking Yul Cat; and introduce our latest Outsider (the otherworldly god-like entities within our setting) with Yul himself
Player Options
This release brings your our latest player subclass - the Trapsetting Rogue! Hidden wires, unseen snares, and cleverly placed obstacles are the calling cards of the trapsetter, rogues known for turning ingenuity into a deadly art form. Trappers (as they’re sometimes called) use their resourcefulness to escape danger and control the battlefield, rigging traps to outwit and destroy opponents. Often mistaken for simple scavengers or street tinkerers, these rogues have a masterful knowledge of traps, the use of improvised weapons, and are incredibly quick-thinking. This release also features 8 new settable traps, to ensure shenanigans at the table that are sure to leave even the Bard feeling jealous!
We also have our latest player race - the penguinfolk native to the frigid north known as the Sphenkin. These tinkerers are known far and wide as elite artisans and savvy traders, leading to their race as often sought-after crafters and merchants far beyond their frigid homeland. Their cities speckle the coastlines along the frozen Sea of Steps, and are immediately recognizable for their steampunk designs and brass slides zigzagging back and forth throughout the town making intercity travel a piece of cake for these rotund chaps!
And lastly, we're covering all your player's needs with our 4 latest feats and 3 latest deficiencies!
Items
We've also got our 7 latest items and 4 latest grafts! Treat your players with festive rewards like the Gift Sack and Yul's Hat, or help coerce them into behaving with the Elf on the Shelf! And check out the latest grafts like the Beard of Utility and the Glowing Nose!
Spells
"The Feast of Yul" also brings you our 6 latest magic spells, like Jolly Judgement, Hibernate, and White Out!
Maps
We've also got 10 total battle maps (gridded and gridless variations) - ready for the included encounters (or just as easily used as standalone maps).
Tokens
And lastly, we are bringing you 8VTT-ready tokens for all of your online needs!
