Cubicle 7’s ongoing Crafting & Alchemy Kickstarter will bring rules for forging your own legendary weapons and potions to D&D 5E.

Crafting & Alchemy is a new Kickstarter from Cubicle 7 that will bring not one, but TWO crafting books to 5th Edition D&D. It’s already smashed past its initial funding goal, and with more than three weeks left, there’s plenty to be excited about.

Because this Kickstarter aims to deliver something D&D players have been lacking in for at least an edition: crafting rules. There’s something satisfying about the idea of forging your own legendary weapon. Or brewing up your own potions, whether of healing or otherwise.

It’s a fantasy even Baldur’s Gate 3 understands, giving you multiple opportunities to forge weapons, armor, and brew so many potions you’d put the Witcher to shame. Now Cubicle 7 has two new tomes in the works that look to deliver that.

Crafting & Alchemy For 5E

Crafting & Alchemy is two brand new 5th edition supplements. There’s Hammer & Anvil, which will let you forge the weapons and armor of your dreams, and Mortar & Pestle which gives you all the potion brewing your herbalist heart could dream of.

Forge unique weapons and armour unlike anything the world has ever seen. Your great work may start as a humble longsword, but with the right equipment and materials, you will be able to craft a legendary blade capable of cleaving reality in two and summoning an ethereal being to serve by your side. 

    • Forge custom weapons and become a legendary weaponsmith with Cubicle 7’s new Weapon Forging system. 
    • Craft new armour for you and your party with our Armour Forging rules. Your tailoring and modifications will ensure a perfect fit for you and your allies!
    • Turn mundane gear into artefacts of legend with our Magic Item Enchanting rules! Use your arcane talents to enhance the weapons and armour you craft, or team up with a powerful spellcaster to create potent magical effects.

Brew poisons, potions, and elixirs for every occasion. Plant your own magical garden to grow the priceless herbs you need, or gather your party to hunt down terrifying monsters and harvest rare components.  

    • Our Alchemy system allows you to concoct a brand new range of bizarre potions. Mix reagents and refine alchemical components to create invigorating potions to bolster your allies. 
    • For more sinister adventurers, our new Poisons will give you a lethal edge. Prepare toxic venoms to make every strike a deadly one and leave your foes debilitated. 
    • Hunt monsters and harvest rare magical components to use in your concoctions.
    • Tend your own garden! Plant the seeds and watch them grow as you cultivate a range of vibrant and bizarre flora to use in your brews.
