Grimoire of the Grave aims to be the ultimate guide to undead for 5th Edition. To accomplish this lofty goal, not only must the book’s unique content be exceptional, it must support and enhance existing undead from official sources and beyond. We want to see your lowly zombies elevated to more formidable and complex threats and your vampires become the sophisticated and nuanced opponents they were always meant to be. To that end, we are designing tools to improve any existing undead into something far more suitable to your game’s needs. This promo contains a first look at this suite of resources, undead evolutions. With the power of these evolutions, you can ensure any undead, no matter its source can fill a variety of combat and narrative needs. Let us know which creatures you’re most excited to apply these evolutions to in the comments. We’re just as hyped as you for all this undead goodness!

Shining a light on the darkest corners of undeath brings us to some strange places. What do wraiths do in their free time? How does a lich like to entertain themselves? Why do zombies often travel in herds? These questions and more are answered by exploring undead society and culture, a subject featured heavily in Grimoire of the Grave.

The Grimoire of the Grave Kickstarter campaign is humming along! In the meantime, we wanted to give you a glimpse of our vision for the book by highlighting our promo content. Each section of the promo showcases a different section of the Grimoire. Freshly reanimated from the pages of chapter 7 comes an iconic but sadly oft-forgotten undead, now with a fresh coat of 5th Edition paint along with some new ideas to spice things up. Enjoy this first look at the mohrg, an accursed, one of the undead subtypes we are introducing in Grimoire of the Grave. This foul being was once a murderer who never faced justice, only to be reanimated by a torturous undead parasite as a final act of divine retribution for their sins. Should you dare to face this foul being, beware its paralytic tongue and infectious nature. We’d love to hear what you think of the mohrg. Happy (scary) reading! Keep an eye out for more promo highlights in the near future!

One condition in D&D 5e stands in defiance of convention, existing in a bizarre design space within 5E. Over time the strange influence of this condition has harmed the gameplay experience thanks to its inconsistency and redundancy. Let us count the ways and find out why the Stunned condition is a menace at the game table and should be stricken from play. Or at the very least revised.

Conditions in 5th Edition are an excellent suite of mechanics by which PCs can affect monsters, and vice versa. There are fifteen in total: from simple effects such as the Prone and Restrained...

What's your biggest pain point when running or playing high-level D&D?

28/06/2022

"Dungeon Masters, how often do you utilize Ability Checks in your games and in what manner? The 5th Edition Player's Handbook advises that a DM call for a check when a character attempts an action that may result in failure. In our experience in various games this isn't always the case, and it's always interesting to see how others run at their tables.

👍 - Rarely, I resolve actions through common sense and narritive description.

💓 - Sometimes, I call for a roll when I'm uncertain about the outcome.

😆 - Often, players roll their ability checks and describe what they wish to accomplish.

D&D Advice: Players who are invested in the DM's worldbuilding are likely to appreciate their character's class featuring in the worldbuilding. A cleric whose religion is aknowledged or a monk that meets others of their tradition will have more hooks into the story, allowing for greater player agency and creativity. Legendary Subclasses offer a very different gameplay experience bundled with a strong worldbuilding implications, allowing any kind of player to make a unique and memorable character. The Hunger Otherworldly Patron for the Warlock is one such legendary subclass, and is one of the featured articles in Vol. #1 of the Cosmic Chronicle on our Patreon!

Have you ever tried parleying with a monster as an adventurer? It can be more effective than you may imagine! Many monsters have goals and desires behind just murder and may be avoided by appealing to these needs.

One such monster is the Xorn, earth elemental with a hankering for shiny rocks. By providing it with precious stones, one may find themselves past it without a fight, although slightly poorer in the monetary department. In Vol. #1 of the Cosmic Chronicle you can see the Elder Xorn, a paragon of its kind which has been fed a mystical gemstone and gained some nasty powers for it.
