Studio X
The Studio X Mobile Miniature Painting Studio is a fantastic piece of kit, perfect for all miniature painters – from those who want a tidy workspace, to those without a permanent location to paint at, and those who love to travel with their miniature painting to friends’ homes, local stores, workshops, and conventions.
Spirits and Songs: Tavern Heroes
Spirits and Songs is a book [that is co-written by Ed Greenwood] dedicated to taverns, inns, bars and drinks, and the heroes that use them. This book is filled with new subclasses, interesting and strange taverns, game items and spells, and even a recipe book of drinks and food. This book also has an occasional narrator of sorts: the magical entrepreneur and borderline alcoholic Samuil Pulemet. He developed a spell that transports users to any bar in the multiverse; this cantankerous spell’s published version has over a dozen safe destinations. Now he travels with the spell, reviewing strange venues for fun.
Digital is $15 and a physical copy is $30
