My tolerance for the horror genre increases as I grow older and fears of demons and monsters are replaced by bill payments and my family’s safety. I’m also increasingly fond of a good horror adventure –  exploring classic horror tropes and letting players act as the non-stupid investigators rather than hapless teens (of course if you want to role-play hapless teens – go for it).

The Mansion of Duke Brago is a classic haunted house, with effective environmental storytelling and a well-constructed dungeon crawl, for levels 7-8.

The Garradrugh is a new character class inspired by Celtic culture, specifically nature worship. Mechanically it’s a Fighter with nature-themed abilities, including a special bond with a sentient nature spirit that can take different forms depending on your chosen subclass.

‘Fantastic’ can mean both great and imaginative; in the case of Fantastic Terrain, all the definitions apply. Fantastic Terrain is a supplement featuring over 50 magical and supernatural areas, zones, hazards, and terrain, including fiery geysers, sticky slime, dimensional portals, and swarms of metal-eating bugs.

Last year I reviewed Nameia’s Laboratory, a mini-adventure that was little more than a dungeon crawl.

Nameia’s Crimson Tome isn’t an adventure, but a massive supplement with 12 new blood-themed subclasses, 25 spells, 22 collective ritual spells, 15 magic items, 27 monster statblocks (from previous editions to 5e), and 24 new NPC statblocks, as well as details on Nameia’s blood cult, the Crimson Order.

How do you design or play a Tier 4 (level 17+) adventure? In five years of playing Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition, our campaigns have all ended around level 12. By level 17 surely the player characters are hopping between planes and punching elder gods in the mouth.

Or maybe they’re dealing with a medusa lich. Greenhouse of Nightmares is a Tier 4 adventure featuring a highly thematic dungeon crawl through a unique botanical research lair, with an epic final boss fight.

Had I read Masque of the Red Death Player’s Guide before reviewing Red Jack, I would have had a much better understanding of Gothic Earth. The 100+ page rulebook effectively adapts D&D 5e’s rules into the late 19th century supernatural setting, providing new classes, archetypes, weapons and rules into an extremely well-produced and organized book.
