The wafting odors of freshly baked goods is sure to draw my attention wherever I may wander and today my nose did not lead me astray. I followed a particularly pungent aroma to the door of an unexpected shop. Our local alchemist and good friend of mine had been baking? I never took him for a baker. I stepped inside only to find that his daughter had taken over the shop, explaining her father had stepped out of town for a few days. She asked if I wanted to try ...

It's the start of a new year and we decided to come out swinging with some lower level items just to change things up and help fill out our offering across the board. We were excited to be able to do something a little new this month in the form of our first ancestry ever, expanding the release of our Springfoot creature from December into a full playable ancestry for 5E and PF2E this month. We hope to do some more things like this in the future where we offer some i...

Those who deal in dark magics often do so in shrouded caves or deep within long forgotten crypts far away from the prying eyes of the public. Seeking to twist and pervert the very fabric of the magics we rely on leads them to studies of disease, sickness, necromancy, and many other dark persuasions. When this everburning torch smelling slightly of death showed up on my counter and the robed figure in front of me seemingly desperate to get rid of it, I knew I h...

Greetings Adventurers,
We asked last month after the release of our Springfoot creature if people would be interested in a playable ancestry and what we heard was "yes absolutely", so we set out on an adventure to bring you something we haven't made before. This month's One More Thing is something we're very proud of and bringing you this playable option for your games is the culmination of a lot of work from Fernando and I to bring it together. We really hope you love getting to play a...

There are all manner of individuals who will worship anything from the flaming ball of gas in the sky to the bugs that crawl on the leaves outside. I have seen all manner of those dedicated to their beliefs in whatever deity is their flight of fancy. Those dedicated to the moon though, are a special kind of excitable. It seems that one of such revenant pursuits dedicated themselves to making a weapon to match their particular leanings, even taking the shape it...

I’ve never been much into the art of distillery. Something about the fiddly temperatures and exact points of evaporation and condensation just makes my head spin. At least with alchemy there’s a larger measure of experimentation and the excitement of blowing myself up should I get it wrong. It did catch my attention when a local distiller claimed to be able to distill the very essence of a place, time, or scene. I didn’t understand what he meant until he...

I’ve been a, well I wouldn’t call her a friend, let’s just say colleague of a notorious puzzle maker for some time now. She delights in sending me brain teasers and obscure contraptions for me to waste my time on and, well I delight in wasting time on them. That is until one particular one arrived at my door, hand delivered no doubt. Typically, they arrive by courier, so I was a bit suspicious. I found myself obsessed with solving this one, much more so ...

With a new year also comes a new effort from us to bring parity between our two system offerings. We're starting the long effort to release all of our 5E library in converted formats for Pathfinder 2E as well with the eventual goal of making everything available in both systems. This isn't something we're undertaking lightly as we have well over 100 items that need to be brought into Pathfinder 2E. That means a lot of extra work for us, but we think it's worth it ...

I say it’s entertainment for barbarians, but none can argue that the public duels are profitable days bringing in hundreds from around the countryside to see blood be spilled. I keep my distance from the arena proper, merely happy to tend my shop and sell to the doe-eyed folks roaming the city for the first time. On one such say, my door bolted open revealing a blood drenched man carrying what looked to be a lion’s head under his arm. Upon closer inspectio...

First of all, Happy New Year and I hope you had a restful or at least enjoyable holiday season. I know it can come with a lot of ups and downs so let me just say first of all that I'm very glad you're here reading this in the new year. For us, 2023 was about recognizing our place in the industry and learning about what was sustainable for us long term. 2024 is about growth into a new sector of physical goods. There's more to come on that later in the year, but know t...

Greetings Adventurers,
We move away from the depths and venture out into the forests of Bharzul for our next creature. We're really excited for this one as we think it's just too dang cute. I've been wanting to do a more cutesy critter for a bit and when I stumbled across a picture of a Jerboa, I knew we could make something work.

Now this one is special. I spent years getting to know a Springfoot by the name of Bota who had come to our shop on a curious whim one day. I had never seen a Springfoot before that day, nor had I ever even heard of them. It seems that they’re quite reclusive, preferring to stay hidden away from the prying eyes of the world. After years of our friendship and learning more about their culture and ways, eventually a day came where I was invited to visit Botaâ€...

I wish you another year of happiness, comfort, joy, and confidence. I hope that you find the things you want and can take a moment to be thankful for the things you have.

It was one of the most wonderful moments of my life walking through the square and seeing a elven lass who had plopped down a fully featured oven from her back and started churning out cookies for those passers by. I was enamored by the craftsmanship and ingenuity needed to get it into a usable form, though I did have a slight suggestion in the form of everburning magic wood to keep the temperature more well controlled. I offered to craft some for her should s...

I’m always one for a show! Whether it’s sauntering down to the local theatre to take in a rousing portrayal of the Kobold and the Courtesan or going to the high brow showhouses of the high district for a more refined dramatic experience, I consider them all equally entertaining for their own purposes. It was at one such show that I saw an orchestra member so enamored with himself he had strapped a mirror to his violin. Upon approaching him, he confessed th...

In the shadowed corridors of castles, one force of light stands strong. The Lamplighters of old, those that would bring clarity to the murk and push away the darkness with their nightly rounds. Over time, nobility grew to rely on the Lamplighters for more than just setting candles ablaze, training them to protect their homes from threats that lurk in the dark. Known for their flaming flails, they now stand as a force of good within their kingdoms and seek to s...

The depths of Bharzul hold many horrors along with the many riches that the dwarves delve them for. Once such beast is the Altumantis. A creature reviled for its ability to present itself as a friend to those that it would lure back to its lair as a midnight snack. It visits the lonely corners of the deep searching for those that can be easily melded to serve.

A dwarf wandered into our shop stinking something fierce and obviously intoxicated. He opined for a few moments about lost comrades and something about a whole party of them. I felt a little bad for the chap as he’d obviously been through the wringer. I invited him in for some water and to at least humor his story. He told me of a creature that lurked below the surface with the power to alter minds and shape them to its will. I had never heard of such a beas...

While picking through a garden, I was searching for merely some wonderful flowers to bring home to my partner as they love them so, and I had apparently taken part in a bit too much debauchery for their liking of late. I thought a pleasant bouquet would soften the mood and remind them of the non-debaucherous side of me. I was approached by a small winged being with a relatively large attitude. She demanded to know why I was traipsing about in her garden and on...

I’ve only heard of this in stories and frankly, I don’t know how much of it to believe, but I’ve been told of an adventurer’s spirit appearing to those that visit the Hadegur hot springs. A furry little beast with a lackadaisical attitude that seems to be seeking someone to do a favor. They say this capybara was an adventurer and is now seeking kindred souls to do the bidding he couldn’t accomplish in life. Normally I dismiss such things as hogwash o...

Dwarven smiths were constantly looking for ways to one up one another with their inventions. At some point, things got a little silly. They started attaching flywheels to gauntlets in hopes of making grappling hooks and things of that nature. They succeeded in making quite a few dislocated shoulders and pulled biceps. I guess the spirit of innovation and competition can drive all manner of odd ideas. One that actually stood the test of time was their methods o...

You meet all manner of folks in my line of work, so when a team of 4 tortles eating pizza coupled with a ratman walked into our shop, I didn’t really bat an eye. What was a bit odd is the shield they were carrying with them. They mentioned something about a fallen 5th member that they hoped to commemorate. I hadn’t had much experience in working with tortle shells, but I promised to make them something worthy of their friend. With a bit of protective magic...

We've moved away from our Drudgework creations to start exploring other realms of problems the Dwarves of Bharzul may face and let me tell you, this one is a little terror in its own right. We wanted to put together a creature that felt like a truly horrible thing to face in the depths and I think we nailed it with the Acerbak. Between their acidic spit and fast movements, your players are going to have a terrible time trying to deal with these beasts.

Well I’ll be the first to admit that the subterrain is not my preferred area to hang out. No disrespect meant to those that build entire civilizations down there, I just never saw the appeal. Between the lack of sun, stuffy environs, and now acid spitting monstrosities, I just don’t think it’s the place for me. That said, they do produce some FASCINATING items. I’m not sure who exactly decided that toying with an Acerbak’s acid gland was a great idea...

I was a little put off when things started crawling out...
