Beowulf Sample Adventure

We’re working hard to bring you a taste of BEOWULF! We’re making a free introductory PDF, currently titled “The Hermit’s Sanctuary”. Here’s a look at the cover by Paul Bourne and Jon Hodgson!

In BEOWULF, one player and one GM set sail to explore mysteries and defeat monsters, with specially designed additional rules, a new class and subclasses, backgrounds, flavourful setting info for a world of dark age myth, and of course tons of gorgeous art.

We’re also working on some really beautiful accessories. Our friends at Campaign Coins have helped us with these inspiration tokens and a fantastic compass rose! Underneath them, you can see the prototype of the Inspiration Pool mat, made by our friends at Patriot Games. All our accessories are entirely optional. A piece of paper, a pencil, some coins, and some dice are all you need to play.

Scarred Lands Creature Collection for 5e is Live!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/339646881/scarred-lands-creature-collection-for-5th-edition-rpg?ref=user_menu

We’re bringing the best adversaries from the history of the fan-favourite Creature Collection to 5th Edition! We want to make a full colour, one creature per page, hardcover bestiary for the world’s favourite roleplaying game.

It’s going to be expertly converted, beautifully illustrated, wonderfully laid out, and full to the brim with useful content.

If we’re extra successful we’ll also include random encounter tables, drop-in encounters with battle maps, and lots of additional digital content. 

Way back at the beginning of the d20 times, when 3rd Edition was the big noise, gamers had two core manuals with which to play. The Player’s Handbook and Dungeon Master’s Guide were available, but there was a pause before we got the official Monster Manual. Into that gap burst The Creature Collection – the very first bestiary of Third Edition monsters! 

Now we’re bringing the Creature Collection to 5th Edition!

Our aims and campaign are simple: to see how large a 5th Edition bestiary we can create with your help!

Bang & Twang World Cup!

Announcing the Inaugural international Bang & Twang World Cup!

This prestigious event is being held for the very first time in Perth, Scotland, coincidentally in the very same venue as Tabletop Scotland 2019! Amazing!

Anyone who plays a demo of Bang & Twang is automatically entered into the Bang & Twang World Cup, and their score will be recorded. The highest score on Saturday will win a prize and a much-coveted certificate.

And on Sunday we’re delighted to be hosting the SECOND international Bang & Twang World Cup! Again, every demo game will have its score recorded and a winner will be crowned at the end of the day.

All contenders will get a “I’m a contender” sticker to wear with pride.

To find out more about Bang & Twang here: https://handiwork.games/bangandtwang

Please note: Bang & Twang produces a limited range of scores and so there may be a need for a tie-break event, or the international judging committee may rule on the winner. Their decision is as final as it is arbitrary. But a kid will probably win it.

Common sense and fair play dictates only one entry per person is allowed in the Bang & Twang World Cups.

Since so many of you here have already paid the previous price for our games we wanted to say thank you with an offer on our beautiful Bang & Twang Riff Coins, which are available at half price (just £5!) with the code HALFOFFCOINS on our web store. https://handiwork.games/product-category/forest-dragon
