The Nine of Himdal is a tier 2-3 mini-adventure that combines mystery, horror, and dungeon crawling in a small town with a sinister secret. It features a solid balance of role-playing, exploration, and combat, though bites off a bit more than it can chew in 16 pages.

The creative team behind last year’s 12 Christmas Slays (as well as February’s 10 Hazards of Love and April’s 10 Foolish Fools) have returned with 10 Monsters of Midsummer, a summer-themed monster book with sandcastle crabs, barbecue golems, and the most fearsome of foes, The Sun.

My experience with Pathfinder may be limited, but I know a solid adventure when I see one. Following the Tracks takes a vastly underused setting, a wild savannah, and injects a setting-appropriate story with plenty of beasts to battle, herd, and rescue.

I love the Monster Hunter videogame series (and you bet your butt I backed Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting) where you can craft weapons and armor from defeated creatures. But what about harvesting monster parts to cook a hearty meal?
The Monster Menu adds over 100 exotic meals that a daring party can cook from slain monster parts, gaining temporary monstrous abilities — and drawbacks.
Another 50 supernatural terrain, areas, and effects.

Fantastic Terrain 2 is the sequel to last year’s Fantastic Terrain, which already added over 50 environmental hazards and effects. Somehow the sequel finds 50 more “wondrous sources of energy,” which can include anything from mudslides and kelp mats, to portals, statues, and elemental gems.
31 new sorcerer subclasses, and over 120 new spells.

A sorcerer’s power is drawn from their origin. Whereas wizards study their craft and warlocks make a pact with a powerful entity, sorcerers are simply born with magic power due to their magical (or monstrous) bloodline, and drawn from their own willpower.
Blackstaff’s Book of Bloodlines is the follow-up to last year’s Tome of Wizardry, this time focusing on those naturally talented jerks, the sorcerers. With over 30 subclasses and over 120 spells, Book of Bloodlines is another stellar supplement brimming with content.

Westerns have a deep vein of colorful characters, familiar tropes, and fun settings and situations to mine from. A Town Called Mud: A Haunted Mine is a Western-inspired adventure for level 4 that doesn’t quite live up to its potential.

A Necromancer’s Tangled Web is a classic undead-terrorizing-a-village story that leads to a relatively brief, straightforward cave dungeon full of undead, for level 4 parties. A lot of backstory and attention is given to the titular final boss, though the story is both too big, and too underdeveloped.

Quite the Pickle takes place in and around the Snapping Line, a classic dockside inn and tavern in the town of Saltmarsh. Though advertised as an adventure for levels 5-10, it’s more of a series of events that take place over several days and nights as the players play a game of darts, fend off a pirate attack, and rescue a waiter from a shadowy fate.

The Great Trial: Frostbite is a stand-alone sequel to The Great Trial, a challenging gauntlet for 10th level parties. It can be run as a follow-up adventure, or on its own, providing a more interesting hex crawl dungeon design thanks to its icy theme, warring demons, big boss battles, and roaming threats.
