Soulslike Roleplaying

TPKs Have Never Been This Fun

If You’re Not Dying, You’re Not Trying Hard Enough

Soulslike Roleplaying offers a unique, exciting gaming experience based on the popular genre of video games. Players must strike a balance between levelling and purchasing new equipment, cleave their way to the safety of the next bonfire, and be prepared for the next dramatic boss fight just around the corner.

Soulslike Roleplaying is a 14-page PDF dedicated to bringing the spirit of Soulslike video games to your 5E D&D tabletop game.

  • Discover the Five Core Rules of Soulslike Roleplaying.
  • Add new combat options, legendary items, and NPCs to help players survive in a bleak and crumbling world.
  • Play an introductory adventure in the grim world of Soulslike Roleplaying—reclaim your true soul from Ebonwrath the Blackdrake!
  • Light the bonfire and descend deeper into the dungeon. Try not to die.

(But if you do, don’t let that stop you.)

The Atlantean Compendium

The Atlantean Compendium: Full of All the Deep-Sea Content you Could Ever Want!
In this 42 page compendium you will find 4 Atlantean-themed subclasses, 2 races, 6 backgrounds, 7 monsters, 14 items, 33 exclusive deep sea spells, and a fully fleshed city of Atlantis ready to be plopped into whatever setting you are running!

Become an Atlantean!
With the added Wavedancer for Fighters, College of the Siren for Bards, Circle of the Tides for Druids, and Conclave of Depths for Rangers, in addition to the new Aberrantkin and variant Atlantean Tritons, as well as 6 Atlantean backgrounds to choose from, you can fully immerse your character in Atlantean culture and iconography and become a master of the waves!

Unique Learned Spells
In addition to this, the spells in the Atlantean Compendium are not like typical spells that can be chosen by anybody during character creation; and instead they are unique spells that are empowered by being submerged in seawater. Because of this, they are designed to be given to characters as rewards; by being taught by Atlanteans or being found in esoteric scrolls! Excite your players with new options to reward them with a diverse list of deep sea and Atlantean magic spells!

Not Just for Spellcasters…
Although the prospect of 33 new exclusive deep sea Atlantean spells can be certainly tempting, this compendium is not just for spellcasters as it also includes a Fighter martial archetype and a Ranger conclave in addition to 14 new magical items; which includes many unique magical armors and weapons!

The City of Atlantis, in your Game!
In combination with all of these deep-sea themed character options is also a ton of added flavor text and lore for the backgrounds, the Atlantean stat blocks that populate Atlantis, as well as a comprehensive scaffolding of the city of Atlantis to put into your game, with details about the layout of the city, its governmental structure, and figures of interest within Atlantis.

Fantasy Campaign Quick-Builder

Bob World Builder presents

The Fantasy Campaign Quick Builder

It is a rewarding feat to create a custom campaign for a fantasy roleplaying game like Dungeons & Dragons, but that reward comes at a price. Building something from nothing is always a time-consuming process. This system-neutral toolkit provides game masters with that first something, inspiring them and saving that precious pre-game prep time. Once familiar with the four guiding questions and instructions, a game master can use polyhedral dice and the tables herein to outline a campaign or adventure for any fantasy RPG in minutes.

Spark inspiration with these campaign creation tables:

Fleshed Out: Small Town NPCs

“Fleshed Out” is a GM series designed to bring your games to life. It includes ten well-developed NPCs that can seamlessly integrate into any adventure. The attached NPCs have enough background and personality to be interesting, yet they remain open-ended, allowing you, as the GM, to add or modify them according to your needs. The goal is to spark creativity.

Each NPC is designed as a “card” with a front and a back. These pages can be printed and placed into any GM Binder or kept in digital format.

From a boy who thinks he’s a goblin to a honey bee druid, “Small Town NPCs” features ten memorable and entertaining characters that could inhabit a town in any fantasy setting. Rather than relying on numerous, unnamed NPCs, “Small Town NPCs” use fewer, more developed characters. Using recurring characters fosters a connection between players and the NPCs, prompting players to become invested in their stories too.

Please remember to rate, comment, and follow!
CONTENTS:

  • Ten well- thought out NPCs
  • General descriptions, pictures, desires, and secrets for each NPC
  • An outline for two side quests for each NPC that they might give
  • Many side quests are multifaceted and more complex than simply “retrieval” or “slaying the monster.”
  • Some side quest involve other NPCs
  • Flexible enough to use all ten or use only a few. Open-ended so that you can add your own extentions.
