Why are you giving away such an epic product? 

I want you to feel unbelievably confident backing the campaign, and the easiest way to do that is by building trust. I give you something that's so good, it's better than what you're used to paying for. At that point, regardless of what you buy you already got the best deal.

Character Options

Brendan is a stickler for providing balanced material, and that starts with the character options. In his opionion, it isn't even worth making if it isn't balanced against WoTC material to ensure easy adoption at any table. Nothing is worse than a GM eliminating content because the effort to ensure it falls within the balance curve of the game was skipped.

Subclasses

5 subclasses are included that fit any game.

• Bard: College of the Siren - Use the power of your music to empower your allies and hinder your foes.
• Psion: Hemokinetic - Use your own blood to bring down your enemies.
• Ranger: Hexwarden - To combat supernatural threats, you have consumed mutagens to become supernaturally powerful.
• Warlock: Witch Patron - Empower your enchantments and bind your allies and foes to your effigy.
• Wizard: Ritualist - Derive power from the precision of your rituals.
• Bewitching Guide: Reflavor any class/subclass into a witch, even martials!

If we have enough support, we have stretch goals to make more!

Spells

10 spells to elicit dread in your enemies and joy in your allies.

The cantrip, Bewitching Words, will bring respite and bolster resolve in your allies all the way to the debilitating Vengeful Curse.

Feats

7 feats provide witch themed options for any class.

Choose a stand alone feat like Enhanced Familiar to give any class access to a familiar, or embark down the witchcraft path with 5 chained feats granting you unbriddled access to the arcane.

Background

Embrace or shun your past; seek or avoid your future; let the hurdles or opportunities of your background define you.

A coven background is available to tie your character's backstory into witchcraft.

Lovecraftian Adventure

Rumors of an ancient ritual summoning forth an eldritch horror swirl. Will the players foil the attempt, or will their characters have to deal with the consequences of failure?

New Creatures

Stat blocks for witches, cultists, and an eldritch horror, oh my!

Included in the adventure, but designed in a way to be easily slotted into your world with or without the encounter.

Combat, Exploration, and Roleplay Encounters

The level 3 adventure is structured to give you only what you need, when you need it. 

You no longer have to flip to multiple sections to run the game. Everything is on a single spread for that section. 

The encounter is also designed to support all pillars of the game—combat, exploration, and roleplay—and can be run with the options mutually exclusive or in any combination. Prep time is an absolute minimum, with text you and the players need to know structured as readaloud text to save time explaining it to you both simultaneously.

One-Shot, Side Quest, or the Beginning of a Campaign

The characters are sent to the Deep Ethereal to stop the ritual.

The remote location and act of sending the characters there makes this encounter easily adaptable to any game. Whether you just want a one-shot for Halloween, are looking for something to add to your existing game, or want to kick off a new campaign, the encounters within deliver.

Coven Faction

A new faction of witches that can help or hinder your players, alongside a guide for how to implement them into your campaign.

The faction comes with plot hooks, lore, and just enough information to easily incorporate into your world, but not so much that you get bogged down and buried in the details.
