Witches of Farsia

Why be a bearded old man in a pointy hat with questionable hygiene when you can be the epitome of sorcery and style? The Witch Class for 5E is a complete, standalone class built from the ground up for players who want power, personality, and the freedom to reshape reality on a whim. Your magic runs on Whim points, because memorizing spells from dusty books is for losers and people who think speaking in riddles is cool and not a cry for help.

Meeting in the Ladies’ Room
Sometimes is always happening in the ladies’ room at the bar. Usually it’s pep talks, five-minute friends, and sharing hair-ties. Other times it’s the start of an unforgettable fantasy adventure.
A 3+ hour fantasy adventure one shot for players level 4-6. The story is based on John Hartness’ book “Amazing Grace” from Falstaff Books.
It’s Ladies’ Night at the local dive bar. Your party heads there for a nice night out … until it’s not so nice. The party decides to hit up the local dive bar tonight, since it’s Ladies’ Night. As per usual, there are a few guys who want to cause problems.
The Shuck Road
Based on real folklore and legend, this adventure has players follow the trail of a mysterious creature. What is it, and why has it been stalking these communities? You know it’s probably not just a black dog, but it will probably also not be whatever you’re thinking it may be.

A dying antiquarian on the Suffolk coast has spent forty years mapping the paths of a spectral black dog. Three nights ago, she saw it outside her window. It was not watching her. It was fleeing.
Your players walk the Shuck road: fourteen miles of flat, open country linking a chain of medieval churches, following the creature’s trail south toward Blythburgh. At each church, the evidence accumulates. Scorch marks on thresholds that turn out to be wards, not wounds. A parish register from 1577 with a name scratched out so violently the parchment is torn. A woman walking beside them who believes she is already dead. And behind them, growing with every mile, a storm that does not behave like weather.
The Escape Room
Bringing escape rooms into D&D, players wakeup in a sealed room and must find a way to escape. Explore the room, uncover hidden secrets and puzzles, and figure out how to get out before your party runs out of air. This is a short, one-shot adventure, and the board teenager at the front desk probably won’t have any clues for you this time if you get stuck. This adevnture is for four level one characters.

Six rooms. Eleven minutes. No second chances. Your players awaken inside a sealed arcane chamber with only minutes of air remaining. To escape, they must push through six deadly puzzle rooms crafted by the mad archmage Vandrex—a mirror trial of alignment, elemental riddles, living memories, a suffocating study, a talking statue that remembers too much, and a final escape core that demands spellcasting and wit.
Cragtooth Mine
If your players are looking for a classic dungeon crawl, they should explore the Cragtooth Mine. This is a challenging adventure for low-ish level adventurers, making it a perfect way to introduce your 3rd level players to more difficult dungeons, encounters and bosses. And along the way they’ll see everything from spiders to vampire necromancers.
