Terrorizing Forest Monsters, Magic Items With Personality, And More In These 5E Supplements
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.
Ranger Border Warden Encounters
The trail is faint, the forest is dark, and the warden is watching. This supplement asks if you’re willing to cross the border and find out exactly what the warden was watching. Complete with a short essay explaining their dynamic further and ten unique encounters, this is for DMs who want to add a little more heft to the map-lines between kingdoms, and players who want to know what the guard is even guarding when they haven’t seen another human in months.

In most games, the border is just a line on a map. You cross it, maybe the guards ask a question, then you move on.
AdvertisementBut a border warden is not a guard. They do not stand at a gate or wear a uniform. Their post is a forgotten trail, a smugglers’ pass, a stretch of river that no one patrols. They watch for enemies, for refugees, for the desperate and the hunted. They are judge, jury, and sometimes executioner. No one thanks them. No one knows their name. They are the line between order and chaos, and they stand alone. The weight of every crossing, every life saved or turned away, rests on their shoulders.
Truly Sentient Items
Regular magical items are neat. But what if they had personalities and opinions? Would your latest item roast you? If the DM has anything to say about it, then yeah, probably. This book includes everything from relatively common items to the truly legendary. And all of them have some thoughts on your latest encounter.
In this fully illustrated 5E-compatible book, gamemasters will find a wealth of unique item concepts and game-ready adventure hooks, while players will get the chance to befriend talkative treasures and explore novel character concepts alongside their amazing item buddies.
Terrains of Terror: Forest Foes
We all spend parts of our D&D adventures in the woods. And sometimes the woods are downright terrifying. This book adds everything from tricksters to abject horrors as well as a full ecosystem for them to thrive in. The forest will change and adapt as you go – can your players?

Terrains of Terror: Forest Foes is a massive 5th Edition bestiary built to make woodland adventures feel alive, dangerous, and unforgettable. Within its pages you’ll find 238 uniquely designed forest creatures, spanning all 14 creature types, from low-CR vermin lurking beneath the leaves to mythic horrors that rule the deepest, oldest woods.
Lair of Ettercap
Monstrous spiders have caused almost an entire family to disappear in the night. And unless some brave adventurers go into their caves and defeat the monsters, they will be back for more. Can you destroy these abominations? Will there be any survivors to rescue? Or did you hear the word “spider” and get out of town? Me too.
Two nights ago the Ohlmer homestead at the edge of the forest was attacked. Shortly after nightfall monstrous spiders, some as large as a full grown cow, emerged from the woods and attacked the Ohlmer’s, dragging their victims back into the dark forest. The following day a group of farmers found the path the creatures had left behind and discovered the entrance to a cave deep in the woods that looks to be the spiders home.
AdvertisementThe farmers have pooled their resources to hire a group of hearty adventurers, to go into the caves on the slim chance that there are any survivors to rescue and also to destroy the terrible abominations before they hunt again.

This collection of ready-to-run encounters was written for adventurers of any level to enjoy. You can take on mountain bandits, earth elementals, a mountain troll, or wyverns. And each of these encounters is written to work stand-alone, or as a drop-in for your already ongoing campaign.
