A New Adventure
Dissension is our first full-length campaign, and it's a wild one. An underground concert ends in violence, and your party gets swept up in a conspiracy that runs through Lawbrand's back alleys, secret venues, deadly catacombs, and soaring halls of power. You'll be chased by zealots across numerous trade-cities, battle shadowy musicians, confront a villain long thought dead. At the center of it all is one question: will art save Lawbrand, or doom it utterly?
Worldbook: Lawbrand (Revised Edition)
We've spent the last three years workshopping improvements to Auroboros: Coils of the Serpent, and the result is Worldbook: Lawbrand (Revised Edition), fully updated for the 5.5E rules. In addition to improvements and updates, we’ve packed new content into the core rulebook. Numerous new subclasses (including the College of Shock Bard), new playable species including ogres and dryads, new backgrounds with custom Origin Feats, a new Group Charter system, and a rebuilt Mark of the Serpent that lets your whole party share in the awesome power of the World Serpent and bear its (expanded) consequences as a team. Every class feature, spell, sigil, magic item, monster and more has been refined for incredible storytelling at the table.
Since you backed the original Worldbook: Lawbrand, you'll be able to grab the revised edition at a significantly reduced price during the campaign. It's our way of saying thanks for being here first. Thanks for keeping this community alive. Thanks for journeying alongside us, in Lawbrand.
AUROBOROS: THE MUSE
Written by the legendary Jim Zub, The Muse follows Imani Nyoka, a bard desperate to earn artistic recognition. When a mysterious stranger inscribes the Mark of the Serpent upon her flesh, the ancient tattoo grants her extraordinary musical power. Though its dark influence may enthrall audiences, Imani must rely on her wits (and a newly formed band of adventurers) to keep that power out of insidious hands.
...all while struggling to resist its corrupting hold on her body and soul.
