Treacherous Encounters, Ooze, And More In This Week’s 5E Compatible RPGs
It’s time to roll the dice on new releases! Come check out this week’s batch of brand-new 5e compatible tabletop adventures and supplements.
Sentient Ooze
The ooze could be anywhere, filling any space, or squeezed into any cracks. And your team of adventurers could be the next ones to find it. Be careful in every room you enter, and don’t trust that any suit of armor is a friendly knight.
Beneath the streets of Isenia, water no longer flows where it should. In a collapsed sewer chamber long forgotten by maintenance crews, runoff, debris, and neglect have pooled into something that refuses to remain inert. Tools vanish, workers do not return, and the tunnels themselves begin to feel crowded and unstable. What has formed below is not a mind in the usual sense, but a mass shaped by pressure, accumulation, and time. The sentient ooze expands slowly through the chamber, reshaping itself around stone, bone, and stolen materials, turning the environment into a shifting hazard. Confronting it means fighting for space, footing, and control as the lair itself works against the intruders.
Drop-In Lairs
If you need a quick lair or dungeon for your adventurers, drop them into one of these. There are self-contained battles, cinematic encounters, and endless ways to solve the problems at hand. Whether you need a side quest, a distraction, or just a place to hide your next big clue or treasure, you can drop in one of these lairs.
Drop-In Lairs is a collection of fully designed lairs for Dungeons & Dragons 5e. Each of the 30 lairs in this book is a self-contained encounter written to slot seamlessly into your world. Whether you need a deadly side quest, a cinematic boss battle, or a rescue plan when your players zig where you prepped a zag, Drop-In Lairs in your solution.
Catopaclypse
If cats aren’t making game night difficult enough by trying to steal your dice or hang out on the battle map, why not add a little more of their kind of chaos to your adventure itself? All spells are a little better with a little more disorder. At least, the cats think so. Welcome to the Catpocalypse.
Is your spellbook simply sitting there? Do your spell components remain in their original location? Does your magic do what it was meant to do exactly? How frustrating! CATPOCALYPSE is coming to solve all of the issues involving traditional magic.
Inside, there are 150+ spells that reveal how cats have always strived to advance magic. Cats understand that every spell is better with a little disorder, that every component belongs on the floor, and that magic is at its strongest at three in the morning. From tactically distracting cantrips to 9th-level spells that truly shatter reality (and a few pricey vases), Catpocalypse turns traditional magic into something much more fun.

Mantra Caster
This is the class for anyone who wants to manifest some magic into the game. Mantra Casters use sacred speech and chanting to cast their magic. Their greatest tool and weapon is their voice.
Before there was light, there was sound — endless, resonant, eternal. It was from this primordial vibration that the cosmos unfolded, syllable by syllable, rhythm by rhythm. Those who learn to hear and shape that sound can bend reality itself, not through written spells or divine intercession, but through the pure power of the voice.
Mantra Casters are the mystics of sacred speech — spiritual practitioners who have mastered the art of chanted formulas. They study not books, but breath; not incantations written in ink, but syllables etched into the fabric of existence. Each mantra they recite is both a call and a command, harmonizing their soul with the hidden architecture of reality.
