Is it awkward that my first review of 2022 is also one of the best products I’ve reviewed on the DMs Guild?

Dread Metrol is an awesome crossover between Eberron and Ravenloft, shunting a ruined city in the Mournlands into its own demiplane where an authoritarian Queen rules over an increasingly desperation populace, besieged every night by a never-ending army of undead.

If the Ranger is the martial version of a Druid, and the Paladin the martial version of a Cleric, then The Scion is the martial version of a Warlock. The martial-spellcasting hybrid includes full level 1-20 progression, four subclasses, and three new backgrounds.

One of the more challenging scenarios for a game master to concoct is the initial meeting of the player characters. To help avoid the “you all meet in a tavern” trope, the Academy of Adventure drops level one PCs in an adventuring school for young adults.

In each of the divided realms of Prismeer, the Feywild domain that’s featured in The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, there lies an awesome mega-dungeon ruled by a hag. Unfortunately the rest of the notable locations that reside in each realm aren’t given the same love and attention. The Hither Adventure Bundle rectifies this, at least for the domain of Hither, expanding on two of the locations and adding an all-new third one to the swampy fey realm.

In my Roll20 Review of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, I was very impressed with the campaign’s opening chapter, calling it “one of the best level one areas that 5e has produced.” Witchlight Carnival Expanded is an unofficial, but very impressive, expansion to that specific chapter, expanding and adding new attractions, events, backgrounds, and rollable tables.

The first volume of Through the Veil was a superb anthology of Fey-themed adventures (and one of my top ten DMs Guild products of last year). The follow-up, Through the Veil: Treasures of the Feywild, isn’t an adventure at all, but a massive collection of Fey-themed magic items – which is arguably more useful for many DMs. Like its predecessor, it’s also one of the most impressive DMs Guild products of the year.

DMs Guild Review – The Book of Seidr

Three new Norse-themed magic subclasses, along with spells, invocations, and magic items.

When I think Norse, I’m usually thinking of Viking warriors, barbarians, or skalds (hello, Bard College of Valor). The Book of Seidr (from the designer of the Norse monster book The Book of Monstrous Kennings) offers a different take on Norse-themed player content,  with new subclasses, spells, companions, and feats based around the fate-weaving Norse magic.

Inspired by the cool-crime thriller genre (aka Tarantino-like), The Yeast Heist Fiasco Getaway is a unique adventure designed for a solo player character at fifth level. The PC must escape a city in lockdown after a heist-gone-wrong, leading to several meaningful choices in how the sole survivor escapes with the McGuffin.
