I have zero experience with Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition, but according to Challenge Accepted!, Skill Challenges were a popular and well-received rules mechanic for overcoming encounters outside of, or sometimes adjacent to, combat encounters.. The rules supplement features over a dozen detailed example encounters that employ Skill Challenges, as well as several traps and hazards to create exciting situations in D&D 5E.

One of my favorite fantasy concepts is taking a real-world setting or plot device, and throwing it into the magical world of D&D. Petey’s Pork Pie Emporium transforms a corporate-owned BBQ restaurant into a deliciously dark, hilarious hellscape mega-dungeon, for levels 3-5.

While we get plenty of dungeons in D&D, there’s not nearly as many dragons. A PC can easily go their entire adventuring career without even seeing a dragon. In Warriors of Sehanine, a mini-adventure for levels 3-5, the players are tasked with liberating a recently attacked wood elf stronghold from a black dragon. Did I mention the wood elves are all werewolves?

Evil and monstrous player characters are often sought after, and often a headache for DMs to incorporate, even when their role-played as “one of the good ones.” Ishavar’s Guide to Curses adds several new, and most importantly well-balanced, player races, subclasses, and curses which should satisfy both sides of the table.

What do we want in a pirate adventure? A rowdy crew? A mutiny? Ship battles? Hidden treasure? Lots of fun references to other popular pirate stories? You’ll find all that in The Shanty of Boldbeard’s Pride, a level 5 mini-adventure that squeezes every salty drop out of its pirate theme.
