Gary's Appendix Issue 2

This inspiration for this zine is the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide by Gary Gygax, which collected a vast amount of information, rules, and guidance. Highlights in this issue include: Gamifying Devotion – clerics, paladins, and monks are characterised by devotion to ideals. Typically, these ideals are broadly defined by alignment, but a more granular approach can flesh out your game’s world and give your players more ways to engage with the fiction you create at the table; Thoughtful Bestiary – a further exploration of the bestiary starting with the blink dog and ending with the Centaur, dipping into real world mythology, practical consideration and wild speculation about uses for these creatures. Also included are brigands, buccaneers, bugbears, caecilia, and carcass crawlers! Pledge NOW!

Advanced Ancient Academy

This is a dungeon adventure for low-level adventurers, filled with bandits, cultists, goblins, and skeletons. It's perfect for new players or for veterans looking to start a new campaign. This iconic dungeon first made its appearance a decade ago as part of the One Page Dungeon contest, showcasing the creativity and ingenuity of packing an entire dungeon experience onto just one sheet of paper. Since then, it has been downloaded by thousands of players and has now been expanded to include multiple levels of the dungeon! Pledge NOW!
