Explore The ‘Northlands’, Get Weird With ‘Hellboy’, And More With These 5E Adventures
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.
Sol’Kesh: The Speculative Evolution Bestiary
This is a nearly 300-page campaign setting, set on a primal island of weird evolution paths and weirder D&D creatures. Ninety-eight new potential friends are in there, many of whom can be raised from eggs, tamed, and kept as pets and mounts. Forage, explore, and discover everything this brand-new fantasy biome has, from natural traps to unique weather systems, to creatures to bully your DM into letting you keep.
Isolated for eons, Sol’Kesh is an island without humanity, without a species to spark flame and conquer. A primal landscape of predator and prey, clawing at the edge of extinction, where a single law of life reigns supreme, evolve or die.
Competition breeds adaptation and an immense variety of life has taken root and flourished. From miles of exposed coral reefs, sunken forests and fungi-lit caves that riddle the earth below. Wild and unique flora and fauna struggle in an evolutionary arms race, fighting for their next breath, their next meal and for their next generation to survive.

Containing the explanation of my new system (aspect-based spell writing), details on its use for deriving new damage types, and evolving spells, this book contains significantly more science than previous efforts so even if you are just a curious wizard, this may be required reading for your studies.
Presented as an in universe textbook given to students at the University of Theoretical Magic, this book should prove a fun reference for both roleplaying and personal character prop making. I hope you enjoy!
