Inspired by Pokémon and slottable gear, The Foestone Compendium introduces magical gems called foestones. Foestones capture the essence of a defeated monster, conferring its abilities and traits into weapons, armor, and wondrous items, with literally hundreds of options.

Like the excellent Hither Adventure Bundle and Thither Adventure Bundle , the Yon Adventure Bundle enhances a chapter of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight by expanding underdeveloped content, or adding all new mini-adventures, in three different locations.

This adventure bundle focuses on chapter four. Yon is a mountainous realm of constant thunderstorms ruled by the melodramatic hag, Endelyn Moongrave. It includes the Astronomer’s Throne, Korred Clans, and Mill in the Mists, which can also be purchased separately. Each adventure includes maps, statblocks, and magic items, and are designed for parties around sixth level.

Last year I was disappointed that Encounters in Icewind Dale didn’t include any specific tie-ins or content for Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden.

My squeaky wheel has received its grease with Icewind Dale Expanded, an encounter book that features over a dozen encounters specifically designed to work around, and improve, the plot, NPCs, and locations of Rime of the Frostmaiden.

Tyranny of Dragons. Princes of the Apocalypse. Storm King’s Thunder. What if all of the 5e campaigns ended in failure? And what if Vecna was the big bad behind them all?

Rise of Vecna creates a uniquely twisted world where evil and death reign supreme up and down the Sword Coast.

But life finds a way.

Like the excellent Hither Adventure Bundle, the Thither Adventure Bundle expands the official 5e campaign The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, adding three new locations that seamlessly integrate into the magical fey forest in chapter three, and diving further into interesting characters and stories that are only hinted at in the original book.

All three adventures are designed for parties of level four, and can be purchased separately, or as part of the bundle with a 20% discount.

Legendary creatures, such as dragons, beholders, and liches, can utilize lair actions by exerting their will or magic upon the area around them, creating environmental hazards each round of combat.

But what if every official 5e creature could have lair actions? Home-Field Advantage — A Compendium of Lair Actions provides new lair actions for over 250 official 5e creatures, including from the Monster Manual, Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes, and Volo’s Guide to Monsters.

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.
