Hey Critical Crew!
How's everyone liking our grafts so far? Here's a look at April's upcoming graft - the Fey Wings. As you can see from the early, we experimented with several approaches before landing on the monarch butterfly styling of the final one. We loved how whimsical it turned out!
Take to the skies, and let us know down below which graft you've liked best so far !
Talk to you soon,

As you may have already noticed in the March release, certain parts of the wording and formatting may look a little bit different. In an effort to always be forward-thinking and adapt to the new changes in the world's greatest roleplaying game, we have already begun the process of adjusting to the new language and formatting that keeps our content more compatible with the latest Wizards of the Coast formatting updates.
The changes are minimal, but we are h...

March's 'Reign of the Mad King' drops tomorrow and we're already hard at work on April's content but we need your help!
Dark Fey won the voting for April's theme and we're going to be introducing our take on the mushroom folk but we'd love your ideas on names for this race of fungi.
Check out the early sketches above and drop your ideas for names down below!

We always thought it would be a cool idea to add in some ghost monsters and so for March we are introducing a new template the "Haunt" that can be applied to beasts and monstrosities for some wicked cool monsters!
Able to exhaust creatures with a horrifying call, drain life from their victims, pass through walls, and frighten off other creatures, haunts are a force to be reckoned with!
We felt an owlbear would be a great "haunt" and have been working hard to create som...
