March is bringing the Madness - and no, we aren't just talking about basketball. Venture beyond the edges of the universe as we take you to Ashioggd'lin - the home plane of the Outsider, The Dreamer, who was first introduced back in our 'The Dreamer Awakens' release way back when we launched (in November of 2021). While The Dreamer slumbers, His terrifying nightmares spring into existence and go forth under the four moons orbiting overhead - proselytizing and wreaking havoc. With frightening monsters and new variant rules for bringing madness and Corruption to your table, your party is sure to fear death once again...

Printable STL

This month brings our latest STL for our Apprentice and Loremaster tiers - the Ghoula! This STL file comes presupported by our good friends at TableFlip Foundry.

**NOTE - 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.

Take you players right into the grips of terror and madness as they: investigate the case of a woman's missing husband who was last seen visiting the family crypt; look into a a strange statue that a local carpenter claims was inspired by a dream; and cross paths with a towering monster in a lake, while trying to talk you way out of certain death!

Stat Blocks

You get 6 brand new stat blocks of various challenge ratings!

Terrify you table with the creatures like: the Dimensional Shambler - known for their proclivity for appearing at random and snatching prey, before returning to Ashioggd'lin; the Gug - cursed, many-mouthed beasts who once tried to rebel against The Dreamer and now wander the tunnels under The Dreamer's plane; and the Siclor - massive, eel-like beasts that live amongst the bones of their prey in the ever-growing skeletal mountains. 

Items

We've also got our 5 latest items and 4 latest grafts! Our latest items include things like the Insomnia poison and Lantern of Sanity, and grafts like the Siclor Sack and Oolan-balé sensors!

Spells 

March also brings you our 5 latest magic spells - like Slumber and Mind Burst - as well as our latest Epic Cast spell Eternal Slumber! 

Player Options

And you know a Critical Crafting release wouldn't be the same without player options, so we've got you covered there! 

Our latest Rogue subclass - the Awakened - introduces Rogues who dedicate their lives to fighting the influence and inevitable ruin from The Dreamer. Focusing on our new Corruption mechanics,  these Rogues aren't to be messed with as they search far and wide for ways to stop (or, more likely... delay) The Dreamer and His forces.

We also have our latest player race - the Oolan-balé - a race of aberrant humanoids that traverse the Hollow Expanse, and trace their origins back to the four moons of Ashioggd’lin. Complete with four subraces, and our latest feats and deficiencies, we've got your table covered on player options!

Maps

We've also got 8 new horror-themed battle maps ready for the included encounters (or just as easily used as standalone maps). These maps are available in both gridded and gridless variants and some also include interior and exterior versions.

Tokens

And lastly, we are bringing you 8 VTT-ready tokens for all of your online needs!

As always - we've got to give a special shoutout to the Hivemind in the Discord server for all of their help and willingness to bounce ideas off of them. We absolutely love this community and are always happy for ideas, so if this sounds as cool to you as it does us, be sure to join the  Critical Crafting discord channel and get in on the Brainstorming!!

April will be here soon, and we're heading back to the endless stars of the Hollow Expanse, but until then...
