Good news, everyone: I’ve done a minor revamp of Superior Realities interface to make things a bit more relevant to my current endeavours. Most notably, there is now a “My RPGs” page to go with the My Writing page, showcasing my published tabletop game projects.

It’s a little spartan right now, but I can tell you there will be more there before too long.

On that note, I can also announce another newly released Fifth Edition product I’ve contributed to. Valory Goodwin’s Book of Heart is now available on Dungeon Master’s Guild!

Cover art for Valory Goodwin's Book of Heart, a collection of positive player options for Fifth Edition.The Book of Heart is a collection of player options focused on positivity, love, heroism, and all things good. It includes role-play guides, feats, magic items, and at least one new subclass for every official Fifth Edition class.

We made an effort to present a diverse interpretation of “good” to fit any taste. The subclasses range from the light-hearted and fun, like the Toymaker artificer, to grittier interpretations of heroism, like the Path of the Revolutionary for barbarians. Whether you want warmth and cuddles or a more pragmatic take on do-gooding, the Book of Heart has options for you.

For my part, I contributed at least a little bit to every area of the book, but the lion’s share of my work was in the realm of subclasses, where I submitted four:

  • College of Recovery: Heal the emotional traumas of your companions with this bard college inspired by dialectical behaviour therapy and other real world therapeutic practices. I even consulted with my counselor to ensure I was representing therapy accurately.
  • Circle of the Forgotten: Unleash the hidden potential of nature’s most humble creatures and become one with the swarm with my most experimental 5E subclass to date.
  • The Honored Fallen: Seek eternal glory through deeds of valor and self-sacrifice with this warlock patron inspired by Norse mythology.
  • Oath of Truth: Uncover universal truth and cut through the lies of evil with this rational, scientifically minded paladin oath.

10% of all profits from the Book of Heart go to Doctors Without Borders, so you can feel like a hero outside the game, too.

Dungeon in a Box: Queen of the Rotting Jungle + General Update

I must once again apologize for my lack of posts lately. I’ve just been really struggling to find the spoons to blog these days, especially given all else that I’ve got going on. I would like to return to a regular posting schedule at some point, but I’m not sure when that will be.

However, it did occur to me that enough time has passed that I can now share some pics of my contributor’s copy of my first Dungeon in a Box adventure, Queen of the Rotting Jungle. (Click for full size — my apologies for the low quality mobile shots.)

An adventure box from Dungeon in a BoxA Fifth Edition compatible adventure for third level characters, Queen of the Rotting Jungle continues year three’s Voyage of Fallen Star storyline. In this adventure, the party tracks the latest shard of the Fallen Star to the exotic jungle island of Mahna Kio, only to find it overrun by foul plant growth.

To find the shard, the party must form an alliance with the Oahtu, a local race of tiny yet intelligent insects, shrink themselves down to the diminutive scale of the Oahtu, and brave the dangers of the jungle at insect scale.

Like all DiaB adventure boxes, Queen of the Rotting Jungle includes custom 3D minis, 2D Skinny Minis, maps, legacy cards, 3D terrain, and more.

If you subscribe, you will also get access to a libray of Wondrous One Shots separate from the main storyline, including another adventure by yours truly, Treasures of the Savage Lord.

There’s more on the way, too. The Voyage of the Fallen Star storyline includes a full year of monthly adventures, and another written by me should be launching soon. I’m also currently in the process of writing a second Wondrous One Shot.

Meanwhile, outside of the realm of Dungeon in a Box but still in the world of Fifth Edition, there should be another big release involving my work sometime in the next couple of weeks. And don’t forget to check out my Arrow Knight bundle for paladins on Dungeon Masters Guild.
