For May, we're taking it old school. Pre-history, in fact! We've got 64 pages of dinosaur themed content coming your way, so check it out below!
You'll get a 34-page adventure, taking you to Islapalea - an uncharted island in the middle of the ocean, inhabited only by dinosaurs (and a big-game hunting Ettercap with deep enough pockets to get someone else to hunt the dinos for him)! Trek across the island as you search for the different dinosaurs, and then bring them back dead or alive for various rewards. This month is a little different in that instead of one big adventure we have broken the content up into smaller encounters that are easier to drop into existing games.
13 battle maps will take you around the different biomes on the island as you venture forth - from the icy glacial fields to the dense jungles; the sandy beaches and lagoons to the dangerous volcanos; (and even a bonus two-story Ol' Chap Ettercap's Big Game Lodge!)
15 stat blocks to bring the dinosaurs to life in your game! From the leviathan-sized Mosasaur, the armored behemoth Venatorarmus, and the speedy Utahraptor, your players are sure to get their prehistoric fix. You'll also get our latest monster template - the Living Fossil!
We've got 10 new items to reward your players with (both as prizes from the big game encounters, and as loot scattered around the island)! These dino-themed items will leave your players outfitted in great gear. Check out the Venatorarmus Hide Armor, the Utahraptor Gauntlet, or the Frostborn Mammoth Cloak!
5 spells, like Revive Fossil for all of your prehistoric necromantic needs; Orb of Amber Entrapment for when you need help lugging the Huge dinosaurs around; or even our latest 9th-level devastating Asteroid.
And don't worry - we haven't forgotten about the players! We've got our latest player race - the Cerati (the seafaring triceratops who have spread across the islands). We also have our latest subclass - the Druid Circle of the Primeval! Play as a druid who forms a bond with one of three species of dinosaurs to adventure together. You'll also find 5 new feats and 4 new deficiencies, to help flesh out your player characters!
May was an absolute blast to come up with (I mean, who doesn't love dinosaurs right??) and we have been dying to share it with you all. Comment below your thoughts and join the Critical Crafting discord channel to stay in the loop with our growing community, and to help us brainstorm new content!
We hope you have a roaring good time with this content, and stay tuned for June's Cults of the Outsiders!

Thanks for catching that! Looks like it was a holdover from the initial draft. It SHOULD read as follows: Saurian Companion 2nd-level Circle of the Saurian feature When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you form a bond with a dinosaur, and it becomes your saurian companion. Choose a dinosaur from the following: centrosaurus, dromaeosaurus, or pterodactyl. Add your proficiency bonus to the companion’s AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to any saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit point maximum equals its normal maximum or four times your druid level, whichever is higher. Like any creature, the companion can spend Hit Dice during a short rest. Your druidic circle also causes the companion to gain benefits listed in this subclass while the dinosaur is bonded to you. Otherwise, it is a normal dinosaur.

2024-10-29 21:16:06 +0000 UTCHi! I hope this is the right place to ask, but one of my players is interested in the Circle of Saurians druid subclass. We’ve run into a small issue, though. In the second-level Saurian Companion feature, the text refers to a 'companion table,' but we couldn’t find this table. Is this meant to refer to the other subclass features available, or is there possibly a missing table?
