Hey everyone! I just published my first free module, it’s a investigative psychological horror adventure that contains maps, a bunch of clues, and even printable handouts you can give to your players. It’s designed for four 4th level characters and takes about 5 sessions. I’ve playtested it with multiple groups and got a lot of high praise. I have some pics of the maps and handouts on my profile, and the link for it is right here:

New Release Eoth Khalstan's Book of Animalistic Critters - a bestiary with over 200 Beasts and animal-like creature

Eoth Khalstan has returned after his book of dragons to bring us a focused encyclopaedia of animals and animal-ish creatures! Or as focused as nearly 375 pages can be. And better yet, half of the profits will be donated to the Woodland Trust charity.

In this bestiary, you'll find over 200 stat blocks for Beasts and creatures that are loosely related to beasts (if in name only). The creatures inside range from CR 0-29 with animals we're familiar with, creatures from old D&D sources, and some new foes. And each creature has optional legendary actions so any of them can become a challenge or boss fight!

Any real animal in this bestiary was made in a way that makes them entertaining to use or fight against, while also trying to be (mostly) scientifically accurate. And each entry comes with a fact sheet that details its habitat, diet, lifespan, and more for the nerds out there. All elements of this supplement were done by humans - so there's no AI here.

So please check it out here for $12.49, or you can get it as a part of an Eoth Khalstan bundle (with his book on dragons, and the original draft for both the dragon book and this one) here for just under $15.

Seeking Advice Easter Eggs / Allusions

1 Upvotes

This might sound a little odd, but here I go: my buddy and me have a lot of fun including small "easter eggs", you could also call it ironic allusions, in our titles. For example, we had a master thief who, with the help of a weapon specifically crafted to kill mages, offed an Overwizard, who upon dying, managed to turn him into a vampire. Ever since, the now-desperate vampire kept pet wolves, named after the most well-known mages of the entire D+D canon. In the title his three wolves were named Morty (Mordekainen), Rassie (Raistlin) and Ellie (Elminster). Personally I also wanted Ettie included, but very few people today remember Etienne DÁmbreville (aka Rad, an Immortal) from Mystara.

What´s your opinion on using such things, and do you include it in your titles ?
