Beadle and Grimm’s have their first original book coming to Kickstarter soon:

For years Beadle & Grimm’s has created expansive, immersive editions of Dungeons & Dragons, Critical Role, and Paizo adventures and settings. Now, we’re writing our own adventure and player options book that you can add into any setting or 5E campaign. The dark, gritty stories of urban fantasy have always been one of our favorite settings, and we’re thrilled to share this adventure and rulebook with you.

Follow us on Kickstarter and check out the sneak preview of what’s in the book below!

So what is Skullduggery?

Skullduggery is a 5E urban fantasy companion, filled with new city-inspired subclasses, backgrounds, feats, spells, and equipment. In addition, it comes with city establishment and organization ideas and 4 chapters of an all-new urban-themed Adventure that can be dropped into any campaign: The Oppression of Blood.

If you like gritty, urban, high-fantasy, 5E-based campaigns filled with dark alleys, poisons, guilds, politics, undead, action, and intrigue – this is for you! This book is for both players looking for new and exciting player options as well as Gamemasters building rough-and-tumble, intrigue-filled, urban campaigns.

Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re building for this book.

The Oppression of Blood

A harrowing level 1-9 adventure, The Oppression of Blood is about a nefarious Sovereign Blood Sorcerer noble that has the City under a powerful Infernal influence and the party must undergo a series of quests to discover the source of the power and break it.

15 Subclasses

• Outlaw Ranger
• College of Poisons Bard
• Cryptblade Rogue
• Duelist Fighter
• Sovereign Blood Sorcerer
• Grim Reaper Patron Warlock
• And more!

All of these subclasses are created to feel at home in and around major cities, but can certainly hold their own in any setting.

Character Backgrounds

All of our backgrounds come with a set of inspirational ideas on why someone with the background might be driven to a life of adventuring. Just some of the backgrounds included are:

• Hunted
• Soothsayer
• Chimney Sweep
• Gambler
• Former Cultist

Premium Edition Box Set

In addition to the book itself, we’ll be offering the kinds of immersive elements that Beadle & Grimm’s is know for, including a custom urban-themed GM screen, epic battle maps, in-world handouts tied to the adventures, and NPC encounter cards.
