The Frozen Hall is a combat puzzle encounter, which can be used against parties of most levels. Perfect for adding to a variety of adventures and dungeons, this encounter will challenge and delight your players in a way they have never seen before.

The puzzle consists of 6 braziers and 7 statues. A blizzard fills the room extinguishing flames and sources of heat, all the while the statues slowly break free of their icy shells.
To escape the party must relight all 6 of the braziers using the magical torch held by one of the statues, balancing fending themselves from the statues attacking them and protecting the flames from the raging blizzard.
Will the party succeed in relighting the fires, or will they join those who have perished in the Frozen Hall?

Somnus Domina – Kits’Adria (5e) (Fantasy Grounds)

Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

Kits’adria are a race of shapeshifting fox people for 5th edition. They possess limited shapeshifting, heightened natural perception and a knack for tomfoolery. 

A people who are skilled in the ways of nature and like mostly solitary nomadic lifestyles. In the already disconnected naturalist culture of Cu Chullis, the kits’adria people are particularly isolated. Even within their own communities they don’t tend to exist as more than a hand-full at a time. When their communities grow larger they tend to fragment and split off into smaller groups. These outliers spend their lives either alone or in small packs, using their shapeshifting prowess to trick and beguile others as a source of amusement.

(The kits’adria was made for the Nat19: Vestige of Ophiuchus D&d 5E stream on Twitch, streamed every Saturday at 1 PM PST on the BlazingAzureCrow channel. Come join us if you’d like to see it in action!)

Fight For Survival

Fantasy Flight Games Acquires the Rights to Dead of Winter

Join the epic struggle for power and survival. Fantasy Flight Games is happy to announce that Dead of Winter is joining our catalog!

As of February 19, 2020, Plaid Hat Games founder and Head of Studio Colby Dauch has reached an agreement with the Asmodee Group to reacquire the independent rights to the Plaid Hat Games brand and the publications rights to many—but not all—of Plaid Hat’s current and past titles. As part of this agreement, Fantasy Flight Games will publish and support Dead of Winter and Raxxon

Build Your Colony

Set in an apocalyptic world overrun by the undead, Dead of Winter casts players as survivors who must work together to fight off outside threats, resolve crises, and scrounge for food and supplies as they attempt to make it through a harsh winter. In addition to dealing with outside threats, players must also fulfill their own psychological imperatives, which are often at odds with the rest of the colony. To balance these conflicting goals, Dead of Winter has players making frequent, difficult, heavily-thematic decisions that weaves a new epic story every time it is played.

Meanwhile, Raxxon takes you to the very beginning of the zombie apocalypse where your team is tasked with evacuating the city before it’s completely overrun by the infected. As you struggled to evacuate the healthy population, you’ll be paired with officials from Raxxon Pharmaceuticals. Raxxon’s ample resources are necessary, but can they be trusted?

Phase II Clone Troopers Unit Expansion

Phase II clone trooper armor reflected one of the Republic’s greatest technological successes and included advanced tactical gear that further augmented the clone troopers’ individual strengths.

B2 Super Battle Droids Unit Expansion

B2 Super Battle Droids are the hulking, brutal cousins of the wiry B1-series battle droids of the Separatist army. Heavily armored and devastatingly powerful with their integrated wrist blasters, the sight of a squad of these droids on the battlefield can chill even the most seasoned of clone troopers.

The B2 Super Battle Droids Unit Expansion provides your army with six B2 Super Battle Droid miniatures to add to your Star Wars: Legion collection. Four of these miniatures feature the standard wrist cannons seen on most B2 battle droids and three of them can be posed in a variety of positions. Meanwhile, separate B2-HA and B2-ACM miniatures menace opposing armies with heavy weapons.

For a battle tank, the Saber-class can be elegant as it nimbly weaves across the battlefield, slashing entire formations with a beam cannon or ripping apart enemy armor with twin laser cannons. 

Within the TX-130 Saber-class Fighter Tank Unit Expansion, you’ll find everything you need to incorporate one of these powerful repulsor tanks into your

Support DCC Kickstarter for Tales From The Smoking Wyrm Issue #2!

It’s time to re-visit The Smoking Wyrm! The second issue of the DCC Zine Tales From The Smoking Wyrm is now a part of the ZineQuest 2 promotion through Kickstarter!

The premise behind the zine has it set at an inn where all manner of beings come and go, and adventure of all sorts can be found through the stories told at the hearth and bar of said establishment.

The second issue of the zine offers another heaping helping of the same sort of material found in the first. Here’s what they state on their Kickstarter page:


What’s Inside?

The second issue will contain seven features, usable by both players and judges! Each article will be featured in greater detail in future Kickstarter updates so you have a good sense of what you will be getting, but here is a short list:

  • King of Beasts as Patron—Bonding with the wild side gives you distinct advantages!
  • Dwarven Jäger—A subclass of dwarf with a very useful skillset.
  • Ritual Magic, Part II—A close-up look at several rituals aimed at those of religious bent. Want to know why unholy creatures burst into flames when they cross the threshold into holy ground—this will tell you, along with other mysteries.
  • Culpepper’s Herbal—More herbs for your game. We continue building out an herbal catalog that all adventurers can take advantage of, even in the darkest of times.
  • The Shoggoth—A classic monster from deep in our adventuring subconscious finally flexes its full muscles! Also includes a Find Familiar spell for Cthulhu cultists to gain Shoggoth familiars!
  • Wyrm Words—A crossword puzzle of all the Gygaxian words in the second issue—this way, a definition is never in doubt!
  • Onward Retainer—Starring the Legion—The second installment of an adventuring comic in the old school style

As you can see, there is no shortage of material being offered in the second volume. And that’s just the standard plan. There are plenty of stretch goals to expand the floorplan of this zine! Help them reach them all.

So if you want to be in on the ground floor—it IS an inn, after all—then you need to head over to the Tales From The Smoking Wyrm Kickstarter page and pledge your support today!

CHARACTERS FOR EVERYONE – A brief guide to play in a simple and fast way

few spells/powers, just left to players as guide to create their own.

Why use this? Who knows, but you don’t have to. Just read and choose if you like some ideas, if so… have fun!

Crowdfunding Focus: Pyramid QuartetOur friends at Looney Labs have launched a new Kickstarter project: Pyramid Quartet! They took three of their favorite games from Pyramid Arcade, plus one new game, and packaged them in stand-alone boxes so you can throw one in your backpack and go!

If you missed out on their two previous big plastic games, Pyramid Arcade and Zendo, you can add those to your pledge as well. You can also go to the Looney Labs website to download some free print-and-play games!
