Plus a system cheat sheet for this amazing game!
The Art of the Key (Early Access)
Part 4 of The Art of the Key (which will be appearing on the Alexandrian shortly) is the current end point of my thoughts regarding the keying of location-based adventures. The adversary rosters described therein are, IMO, incredibly awesome and will totally transform your game if you give them a chance.
Attached you'll find a PDF collecting the complete Art of the Key series.
If you enjoy this, you should check out Jaquaying the Dungeon (if you haven't already). Where the Art of t...

Curious Item Club - Coin of Icarus
This silver coin appears wholly unremarkable to any casual inspection (although a knowledgeable numismatist would most likely be puzzled by the fact that its decorations do not appear to match any known coinage).
When placed in close proximity with other coins, however, the Coin of Icarus will imbue a random number of its fellow coins with an anti-gravity field. The most common effect is for its owner to open their coin purse only to have a half dozen or so coins suddenly fly out and disap...

Curious Item Club - Lithuin Serpents
Whether created through the technomantic rites of the Lithuin Titans or the bioengineering of Lithuin Industries, Lithuin serpents are designed to inject medicines, drugs, and/or magical potions with their fangs.
Although they can serve as an unusual vector for assault, in darkness they blaze with an ultraviolet fluorescence and are not particularly well-suited to stealth. Rather, they are an affectation. An ostentatious display by the rich or gifted
who wish to raise themselves abov...

Curious Item Club - Eldritch Snow Globe
A large, beautiful snow globe of clear antiquity. Its crystal is somewhat browned with age. Its large base of dark wood is intricately carved with a myriad array of strange and unfamiliar runes. (Although a casting of comprehend languages or the like will reveal a simple message: BEWARE.)
When the globe is shaken, its contents will shift to show its immediate surroundings in miniature (albeit as if carved from scrimshaw). Although not a living image (you must shake the globe again in order...

We haven't had a campaign journal for In the Shadow of the Spire in awhile, so a quick explanation for how I'm handling these for the Patreon: The journal entry itself is a "freebie" (patrons aren't charged for it). The essay on Running the Campaign is the regular update.
(Personally I think of the two as linked content, so the basic idea is that patrons are just supporting the whole thing as a single package.)
