Charms & Tokens

Charms & Tokens invites you to the mellow, character-driven side of heroic fantasy. Forget the fuss over power-grabbing artifacts or souped-up magical items that come with more curses than benefits. This sourcebook is for people who want their magic items to do more than light up a room or send someone else’s spell back at them. Here, the charms and tokens are quiet companions, each with a story to tell and a little magic to add. They’re subtle but potent, offering nuance, intrigue, and a dash of charm (literally) to any fantasy roleplaying session.

Adversaria Tyrannus

Adversaria Tyrannus is the villain sourcebook you’ve been waiting for, if you’re in the market for oppressive, authoritarian antagonists who make you feel more than a little too uncomfortable. This is not your typical mustache-twirling evil-doers' club. These are villains who serve a regime that's both horrifying and unsettlingly close to real-world horrors, even if you’re running a heroic fantasy setting. Whether you’re a fan of dark dystopian fiction or just someone who needs fresh yet disturbingly familiar enemies, this book will twist the knife in your expectations.

Adversaria Tyrannus dives deep into the mindsets that create these villains, showing how an authoritarian state grinds people down, corrupts ideals, and shapes monsters out of mortals. They aren’t just out for power, they’re enforcing a nightmare system that thrives on obedience, fear, and a complete disregard for human decency. Some serve out of loyalty, others out of fear, and a few because they genuinely believe they’re doing the right thing. That’s what makes them truly terrifying: they’re committed to the cause.

Perfect for fans of dark, dystopian horror, Adversaria Tyrannus is a must-have for anyone looking to push their heroic fantasy roleplaying campaign into the shadows. These villains won’t just test your players’ combat skills, they’ll test their convictions.
