Trouble in Wealdham isn’t an official Adventurer’s League module but it may as well be. At 20 pages it’s a relatively short and aggressively straightforward adventure designed for tier one, as our heroes are sent to a small town to investigate some recent problems.
Over 50 beasts and dragons, along with five subclasses and a dozen magic items.

Beasts are arguably the most boring creature type in Dungeons & Dragons, and dragons are definitely the most frequently mined when it comes to new additions. Why would then should you care about a monster supplement that’s all about beasts and dragons?
Because Eoth Khalstan’s Revised Encyclopaedia of Great Animals and Draconic Beings is a fun read with lovely original sketchbook art and a huge amount of content.

New creature statblocks are fun and exciting, but creature templates can be much more flexible and thematically rewarding. Monster Perks provides 10 new monster templates that expand any base monster from D&D 5e.
100 magic items, ranging from Common to Legendary.

The Book of Wondrous Magic focuses heavily on magic items that aren’t weapons, shields, or armor, though you’ll still find around 20 swords, maces, staves, and ammunition, including a Deathmark Spear that can mark targets for extra damage, a Quaking Mace that can slam the ground for a shockwave, and a Razorvine Whip that grows serrated leaves that deal extra damage.
Most of what we’ll find are those other magic items: slippers, spectacles, talismans, wands, masks, figurines, and over a dozen rings. The compendium isn’t much to look at, but what’s inside is pure magic.

In many fantasy RPGs, the term “artifact” is sometimes use interchangeably with magic items. But in Dungeons & Dragons, artifacts are defined as “unique magic items of tremendous power, with their own origin and history” [DMG 219].
The 100 artifacts detailed in Weird Artifacts I Found In The Guild are well-deserving of this category, offering incredibly detailed descriptions, backstories, and abilities for some of the most powerful and interesting magical items you could find.

Locked doors are a staple in RPGs, yet the base lockpicking rules in D&D 5e leave much to be desired. The Incredible World of Doors & Locks attempts to spice up the act of lockpicking with expanded rules and tables.

With a title like Ravings of the Mad Leper, I expect dark, evil, and madness-inspired content. Disappointingly, the 79-page player-focused supplement provides nearly two dozen subclasses without any kind of shared theme. Each class is given one to five new subclass options, and some I certainly liked more than others.

Creating intertwined backstories between player characters is highly recommended for every RPG campaign, as just about anything beats randomly meeting at tavern looking for work.
“How Do I Know You?” offers nearly 200 relationship ideas that can be generated at character creation, including individual tables for each class – though I found many of the ideas lacking.

God of War. Skyrim. The Banner Saga. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. What do they have in common? They’re all great games! But more obviously, they all draw from the rich tapestry of Norse Mythology, as does the The Book of Monstrous Kennings, a Norse-inspired bestiary that includes 40 new creatures, including some truly titanic threats.
