The Mummy Rises – a Masque of the Red Death adventure

Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

Welcome to Gothic Earth! 

Gothic Earth, first revealed in 1994 with the release of the Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales boxed set, allows D&D players to enter a dark vision of our own world in the 1890s. The classic setting came to 5th Edition last year with the release of the Masque of the Red Death Player’s Guide


Now, fresh from the fevered imaginings of Mithral-best-selling DMs Guild creator R P Davis, comes an introductory adventure for Gothic Earth: The Mummy Rises!

London, 1890s: At the grand opening of an exhibition featuring newly-discovered Egyptian artifacts at the British Museum, cultists from the Order of the Scarab and their undead minions attack an eminent Oxford University professor and Prince Albert Victor. The adventurers step in to save the day, but in so doing embroil themselves in Section 13’s fight against the Red Death in London and beyond, recruited by Mycroft Holmes and another professor by the name of van Helsing.


The Mummy Rises introduces new concepts integral to Masque of the Red Death, like Fear and Horror saves.

Luckily, thanks to the incredible generosity of the Masque of the Red Death Player’s Guide creator, Jeremy Forbing, The Mummy Rises contains everything you need to play! The Mummy Rises comes complete with a short document explaining the core concepts of 5th Edition Gothic Earth, in addition to pre-generated characters featuring all the new Masque of the Red Death character classes and abilities clearly explained. 

The Mummy Rises has everything you need for approximately 4 hours of adventure in Gothic Earth! All you need is dice and pencils.

See the Previews above for a taste of what’s in store…IF YOU DARE!

Sacrifice Domain

Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

title.png

Ever since adventurers have spread their wings over the corners of the known world, people from all walks of life have sought the company of clerics for guidance, protection, wisdom, and even sanctuary. Even today, priests are among the most respected members of society..

However, few of these holy servants are as dedicated to their deity as those who walk the path of sacrifice. Often such individuals have faced death before and have nothing left to live for, or simply believe in a higher power so passionately that they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good… or evil. Such clerics are gifted powers that are intensely powerful but come with grim consequences. Their life expectancy is short, and they don’t mind

Random Roads: Formidable the Formian

Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

Random Roads is an answer to an age-old question for Dungeon Masters: How do I make 2d4 goblins busting out of the forest interesting? Travel is such a common part of Dungeons and Dragon, but it can be a divisive issue. Some players love having the chance to break out the dice and have some combat without the weight of the plot dragging it down. Other players would rather the DM skip to the next town so the story can keep going. Random Roads hopes to fill the needs of both these types of players, by providing short road adventures that see combat players rolling their dice and role players roleing their roles. Random Roads is built for groups of all levels, with a scaling guide and hooks for any wizard of the coast adventures to help the DM drop these paths in front of any party.

Down this road: The Foriman are a race of ant-folk that are native to the forgotten realms.They are bond to a queen and rarely are seen away from their home. However, this Foriman is different thanks to a tinfoil hat… well a dagger in the brain but the idea ended up being the same.

“Sadly, I am not here simply to arrange weddings, but to prepare for a war. While General Daidoji Uji retakes Kyūden Kakita, we will press on against the Lion and the Castle of the Swift Sword, where we can lay siege to them with our Unicorn allies.

New in the Online Store: Tales From The Magician’s Skull #4!

It’s a Skull-tastic Wednesday, everyone! Not only do we have the latest issue of our fantastic sword-and-sorcery magazine, but a bit of an extra for Skull fanatics! Both Tales From The Magician’s Skull #4 and Cubicles of the Skull are officially released today!

In all, there are two products, each with two means of getting them, so it’s a four-release day!

Let’s take a look!


Tales From The Magician’s Skull #4

The fourth issue of Tales From the Magician’s Skull continues the great material that we put in place with the previous issues. This issue contains 8 new stories by some amazing talent!

Here are the stories in the fourth issue:

Guardian of the Broken Gem by John C. Hocking

Benhus wondered what he could expect if they took him alive. Torture and interrogation, probably. They’d pry the fact that he worked for the King from him and that would seal his death warrant. He squeezed the hilt of the white dagger and wondered how many of them he could kill before they took him down.

On Death Seed Island by Adrian Cole

The cloud writhed gently, as if shifting in a breeze, though the air in the grove was very still. In a moment it had formed itself into a distinctive shape and the men drew back in alarm. It was a human figure, hunched, its face a blur, save for the eyes and mouth.

Masks of Silence by James Enge

The glass cages were full of… things. Not people, but parts of people. They were moving—they were alive: meaty throbbing hearts, shiny pulsating strips of liver, fingers crawling like inchworms, feet flopping like fish. “There is a part of hell that’s supposed to be like this,” Deor remarked.

Cage of Honor by James Stoddard

Without hesitation, he sent his knife whistling through the air, striking the witch full in the throat. Ignoring her, he caught the woman in his arms, and she was everything to him all at once, everything he ever wanted.

The Witch’s Hound by C. L. Werner

In a burst of supernatural speed, the dog-ape lunged at Oba. It drove its hairy body beneath the sweep of his sword and drove its shoulder into his midriff in a maneuver that was more tackle than pounce. The samurai was knocked back, sent sprawling on the ground.

The Dead Queen’s Triumph by Ryan Harvey

Some time ago, author Michael O. Varhola acquired a comprehensive edition of H.P. Lovecraft’s works of fiction and set out to re-read everything he had previously, see what had slipped through the cracks for him, and gain a different perspective on the stories by reading them in the order in which they had been written. As part of this pursuit, he began selecting one element from each of his stories and putting them into game terms. “Identifying something fresh or interesting from each story to put into game terms was more of a challenge than one might have thought, especially as I wanted to capture the feel of the author’s stories, not just create more things that players could roll initiative against and then have their characters either hack …

카멜리아의 신 INFO

4부작 캠페인으로, 다음 부 탐사자가 이전 부의 탐사자의 의지를 잇습니다. 한마디로 3대 탐사자 시나리오집입니다. 4대가 아닌 까닭은, 한 부의 탐사자가 다른 부에도 나오기 때문입니다.

탐사자끼리는 어떠한 식으로든 상호 아는 관계입니다. 3명의 탐사자를 만들어야하며, 시나리오에서 요구하는 나이가 다릅니다. 또한 시나리오 내 하우스룰로 탐사자의 특성치 및 소지품을 정하고 있습니다. 그 외 시스템 ‘유전’을 차용하고 있습니다. 탐사자의 시트가 3개인 것이 부담스럽다면 기능치와 특성치는 유지한 채로 탐사자의 백스토리, 이름 등의 설정만 바꾸셔도 괜찮습니다.

전체 캠페인 플레이의 난이도는 중상, 마스터링 난이도는 상입니다. 전투, 추격, 기타 특수 기믹이나 수호자의 재량과 꼼꼼함이 보여야하는 부분이 많습니다.

시나리오 배경은 일본을 전제 하에 적혀 있으나 동아시아 국가라면 어디든 관계 없습니다. 이 경우 인명 등에 약간의 개변이 필요합니다.

시나리오의 요소에 따라서, 엔딩에 따라서 호불호가 갈릴 수 있습니다. 특히 시작하면 그만두기 어려운 캠페인 특성 상, 시나리오집 전체의 주의 요소는 다음과 같습니다. 배신, 시나리오 진행을 위한 필수 로스트, 인간찬가적 내용.
