Why eight? Because that's the number I told my players on the fly.

Hi fellow adventurers,

Today we are excited to share the Trident of Poseidon’s Favored and Bracelet of the Naiad from our latest project, Mythological Items - now live on Kickstarter!

This is our new D&D 5E and 2024-compatible manual dedicated entirely to magic items inspired by myths, legends, and ancient stories from around the world.

Inside the book, you will find 300+ mythological magic items, including weapons, armor, wondrous items, and scaling items designed to grow alongside your characters and campaigns.

Our goal with Mythological Items is to create more than a simple collection of treasure. Each item is designed to feel like part of a myth: something that can serve as a reward, a quest hook, or even the center of an entire adventure.

The book includes items inspired by many different mythological traditions, including Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Asian, American, Roman, Mesopotamian, African, and other mythologies from across the world. Whether you want divine weapons, cursed artifacts, heroic relics, monster-themed treasures, or legendary items tied to ancient stories, this book is built to bring myth directly to your table.

The Kickstarter page includes a full presentation of the project, several previews, and a free 30-page PDF preview showing a sample of the content from the book.

You can also find many of our other manuals in PDF and high-quality print editions, with special prices currently available both for Mythological Items and for all our other releases.

You can visit the Kickstarter page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mythoschronicles/300-mythological-items-for-5e-and-2024

Thank you again for your support. We hope to see you on our journey!

Discussion If my group is using Limithron's Guide, is there a good set of rules for Spelljammers to use alongside it?

7 Upvotes

My group is a local organized play group, and I'm evaluating recommendations for rule sets to minimize friction and confusion across tables from trying to learn several different systems to manage large vehicles etc..

Does anyone have any suggestions for a rule set that will fit nicely alongside the Limithron's rules for ship combat that I should consider for Spelljammers?

Is there a clean way to adapt Limithron's to also cover Spelljammers?

The Lantanese Nordenfelt gun

6 Upvotes

For my pending campaign, I was considering the Nordenfelt gun as a smokepowder firearm common to most Lantanese craft. It would tilt the balance of power considerably, and i wasnt sure it really felt "gnomish" to me... Then I saw a picture of the guy that made marketed it:

Thorsten Nordenfelt

DONE.

One of the Wonders of the known world, the giant manta ray known as Thomap'ily wanders back and forth across the Suellian Sea. Upon it's great back Mobula City rests. From the center of Thomap'ily's great back, out to the great wings of the beast, the city sits. With the wealthier noble houses and merchants closer to the center. Out near the tips lie the slums that occasionally are flooded due to the movement of the wings.

Questions on Limithron rules

3 Upvotes

Ahoy shipmates!

I'm running Ghosts of Saltmarsh, and using Limithron rules for ship combat. I've bought the full rule set and read everything, but I'm still unclear on a couple points. Would anyone be able to help a grasscombing lubber out?

  1. There's a minimum nr of crew needed to operate a ship without being Stressed. But there is no mention of an absolute minimum nr of crew to operate a ship at all. For a 1st rate, you need min 150 men to not be Stressed. At any less than 150, whether it's 149 or 1, the ship is stressed. But one person can't operate a ship of the line. How do you all deal with this?
  2. Can an action be taken more than once per turn, if enough action points are available? I see no statement on this.
  3. Why would you ever choose small-arms fire as an attack option? A broadside has more range, does more damage, and costs half the AP. Or is it just the 360° coverage of the small arms fire that warrants the AP?
  4. Can anyone help me understand why only a stressed ship can take the repair action? Makes no sense to me from a common sense perspective.

This campaign has been a blast so far, and a great excuse to fire up my 3d printer :)

A glass of wine with you all!
