This mask is carved from a pale wood, although under moonlight it seems to glow with a faint, mossy green light. To casual inspection it obviously depicts a faun, but a Knowledge (religion) check (DC 12) will note the distinctive scar on its left cheek signifying that this is, in fact, the mischievous god Pan. (The wound being that given to him by Freya, who struck him with the Sliver of Ragnarok when he sought to seduce her at the gates of Fólkvangr.)
When worn, the mask allows you to co...

Early access is only about 30 seconds early because I finished writing this review just before posting it. But here's your PDF copy!

Non-charged conclusion to the Star Wars: Red Peace scenario. (As with The Strange scenario from last month, the logical breakdown for navigation doesn't necessarily match the logical breakdown for patron-backed content.)

Seven large boulders hang suspended in mid-air. Upon each boulder (in a full 360 degrees) is a tiny, unique biosphere.
First Boulder: Covered in a bioluminescent fungus that reacts to the proximity of life by changing color and pattern.
Second Boulder: Covered in short-cropped ghost grass (a pale, translucent grass of remarkable strength; many primitive cultures weave it into clothing, particularly ritualistic costumes). The “landscape” is studded ...

I'm guessing most of the Early Access patrons are long-time readers of the Alexandrian, so you're probably familiar with the system cheat sheets I put together for the games I run and play. (If you're not, the attached PDF of notes will explain it.)
You're getting some extra stuff with this one: A version of the original Word file and the fonts necessary to make it work. If you're playing one of the other FFG Star Wars RPGs, these should make it relatively easy for you to prep your own ve...

So here's what's going on with The Violet Spiral Gambit: For purposes of navigation on the Alexandrian, it makes sense to make each Node an individual post. This also means that the scenario is going to be serialized over the course of seven days.
But some of the nodes are quite short and it would be a rip-off to charge my patrons for every single installment. So what we're going to do is update a new node each day over on the Alexandrian, but only some of those installments are going to ...

I have a friend who wanted to take the plunge into GMing. At her request, I designed this scenario for her to run as a maiden voyage.
Whether you're a first-time GM or a long-time veteran, though, I think you'll enjoy it.
(It includes 9 props.)

Those of you follow me on twitter (@hexcrawl) may have noticed me grouse a couple of of days ago about trying to bash something out quickly and then accidentally discovering that I had written Part 6 of a 30,000 word essay series.
... yeah, I was talking about content for the Alexandrian.
I thought the GM Don't List would be a fun little batch of quick, simple GMing advice. As I wrote up GM Don't #2: Rolling to Failure, however, I quickly discovered that what I had actually w...

Apologies if this is a repeat for you, but Patreon apparently burped when this was previously posted. (Some people got an e-mail link, at least one person didn't, and the post now appears to be missing from my feed.)
I wanted to make sure that all of our Early Access patrons were able to access the PDF, so here it is again (hopefully in perpetuity this time).
