New RPG Roundup: ‘Avatar Legends’, ‘Lore & Legends’ Celebrates 5e, GM Tools, and More

Avatar Legends: Republic City

Republic City expands the play material found in Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game by providing expanded background and lore on the famous Republic City found in the Korra Era, including details on the ten different districts, NPCs, and plot hooks. You will also find new rules and mechanics on piloting mechs, engaging in vehicle races and chases, and showing your prowess in Pro-bending arenas! 

Worldings – Cairn, Into the Odd, 5e

It describes adorable spirits that inhabit the wilderness, the Worldlings. Each is the shepherd of a small corner of nature. Their combined power can have a huge impact on civilization as they compete for resources. This is where an adventuring party may be called for assistance. 

• 12 tiny gods, each with rituals, hiding places, clues, and faction details
• Lore that you sprinkle into any setting
• 12 summoned beings and 5 dangerous polluted beings that Worldlings rally to do their bidding
• Wilderwoods mini hex-crawl with 12 points of interest
• 4 biome mystery generators to kick off your adventures

Demon Dog – Stand Alone / Mörk Borg

You died. It’s very sad. Get over it.

Demon Dog is a role-playing game set in a medieval history that never was. You play “Dogs”, revenants that were snatched from purgatory by Demon Barons, seeking redemption and a pint. You’re not a hero now and you weren’t one before you lived, but you’re possibly making things better, or worse, or at the very least less boring.

‘Demon Dog’ is inspired by MÖRK BORG and is compatible with it, but is a stand-alone product. You can smash together the ideas in both books or pull ideas from one into the other.

Lore & Legends: A Visual Celebration of 5e

We received a copy of Lore & Legends to review – this substantial book (it’s the size of your average textbook) is gorgeous. Its glossy, full-color pages are packed with all kinds of tidbits and trivia and tons of art. Every section starts with a double-page version of cover art from the 5e books. If you’ve enjoyed the amazing adventures, characters, and realms that are a part of this edition, you need to pick Lore & Legends up. It would also make a great thank-you gift for your GM.

When the reimagined fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons debuted in the summer of 2014, the game was on the brink of obsolescence. But within a few short years, D&D found greater success than it had ever enjoyed before, even surpassing its 1980s golden age. For the first time, Lore & Legends reveals the incredible ongoing story of Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition from the perspective of the designers, artists, and players who bring it to life.
