THE ANGELS & DEVILS KICKSTARTER IS COMING!

The Night Owl is happy to announce this Kickstarter going live in July!

North of Zinamistra, past the mountains, lie the Vermilion Highlands. Take the mountain road to reach the dwarven stronghold of Cragtop Citadel. Unravel the citadel’s mysteries. Frightful discoveries await! The party gets embroiled in a truly diabolical plot that threatens all.

Equipped with a map of the Vermilion Highlands, the party must venture out to warn its people of the devil incursion. Light the celestial beacons and prepare your defenses! But can you find and persuade a fallen angel to help you rather than to end your life? And are you able to claim the legendary angel blade: Devil’s Bane? Diabolical cultists, real devils, and creatures native to the region will all try to stop you. 

In the climactic final part of the trilogy, the party must find a way to the very heart of evil. The vast halls of the dwarven kingdom are now lit by hellfires. Do you dare to take the long, dark roads under the mountains? They will lead you to your greatest fear. Can you face the general of the infernal armies: the pit fiend Baaldemor? Unless his plans are thwarted, hellfire will reign… 

On top of the three adventures, you’ll get an abundance of new D&D material. Unique magic items, such as the holy sword Devil’s Bane. Other insidious and deadly items come from the Lower Planes, such as the Red-Eyed Box… You’ll find angelic boons and blessings for your player characters, and diabolical feats and powers. There are new types of angels: celestial agents, and grey fallen angels. And new types of devils: cutter devils, slithering devils, not to forget the hellfire lions, who can drag their prey with them to Hell! A gallery of full-fledged NPCs is included. And you’ll learn everything you wanted to know but were too afraid to ask about the cult The Wardens of the Infinite Pit. πŸ˜‰

For this project, The Night Owl is collaborating with some outstanding artists. More will be announced as the Kickstarter goes live in July! We’re up for some amazing maps and artworks! πŸ™‚

Get this D&D 5E book in hardcover or softcover, and digital format. You can play online using the digital maps for VTT. As a bonus, digital player handouts, such as letters, menus, exterior views of buildings, and NPC portraits, are also planned!

Kickstarter backers will be able to vote for additional content – so join in and make your voice heard! πŸ™‚

There will be early-bird discounts for early backers.

Free One-Shot Adventure for Levels 1-20

The Lost Convent is a dark mystery adventure suitable for a party of any level and size!

Can the party solve the mystery of the Lost Convent – and survive to tell the tale?

This D&D 5E “one-shot” adventure is 17 pages long and can be played in one session. It’s easy to use in most campaign worlds, as a side-trek. It’s written for the campaign world where To Catch A Unicorn takes place, and can be played as an entry or exit session to that adventure.

The party comes upon a lone convent in the wilderness. The characters must learn its dark secret and survive the night. The convent’s particular secret makes it possible for a party of any level and size to play the adventure straight away, with minimal need for the DM to change or rescale the encounters. But be warned – combat and lethal dangers do await…! πŸ™‚

The adventure is available for free to all Night Owl subscribers. Just sign up on this website and the adventure will be sent as a PDF to your email. Links to separate digital files of the adventure’s maps are also included.

As a dark and stormy night approaches, get ready for a mystery that will test any adventuring party…! πŸ™‚

The Lost Convent – a dark mystery adventure from The Night Owl

Hardcover Books Released on DriveThruRPG

Hardcover versions of the adventure To Catch A Unicorn have been released on DriveThruRPG! There is both the regular version of the adventure and the Special Edition. The Special Edition features additional “secret chapters” with witch’s brews, potions and weird magic items, and more… The regular adventure version is also available in softcover.

This is my first printed book available on DriveThruRPG, so it’s a real pleasure to finally be able to present it. All versions come in premium colour and with the best paper quality – I’m really happy with how they turned out! πŸ™‚ It’s taken a lot of coffee and tea to reach this stage! πŸ˜‰

The module, including a full-blown enchanted forest to adventure in, is fully presented here:

IT’S COMING: D&D 5E KICKSTARTER!

To Catch A Unicorn: Epic D&D 5E adventure in enchanted forest!

The Night Owl is excited to announce this Kickstarter going live soon!

To Catch A Unicorn is an epic fantasy adventure for D&D (5th edition). In an ancient forest, the magic of elven lords from eons past still pounds in overgrown ruins and flows through plants and soil. But an evil hag is gathering a motley crew of monsters to her. The only hope of stopping the growing darkness is to bring back the legendary Protector: the Forest Lord unicorn. But will your adventuring party survive, find a way to bring the unicorn back, and save the forest?

Welcome to the enchanted forest of Zinamistra!

The adventurers must enter these woods, explore them, find answers and survive. They will meet many denizens of this mystical realm, from quirky fey to the deadly servants of the night hag Natraxa Mafleur. The party must find out what has happened to the unicorn and bring it back for an epic final showdown against the witch and her servants!

The adventure is suitable for 4-6 characters of level 4-5. It comes with a set of appendices full of new spells, monsters, magic items, herbs, inventive rules and more!

This supplement aims to take the “enchanted forest” to the next level. The idea is to go much further than just including encounters with forest or fey creatures. The product will include new and simple (I promise!) “game systems” to bring the enchanted forest to life. You can use these for creating your own magical forests too! More details will be presented soon as the Kickstarter goes live.

The pre-launch page is now up on Kickstarter (see link below). There you can click “Notify me on launch” not to miss out.

First pledgers will get the early-bird super discount!

New Magic Item

The Gargoyle Figurine is just published. This little figurine can turn into a life-sized, animated gargoyle that will serve you. But things are never that easy. The gargoyle has a personality all its own and although it has to carry out your commands, it may well serve up an unexpected roleplaying situation while doing so …!

This new magic item is available for free:

Do not pat this cat!

A new monster has just been published – the fiendcat.

This should be the first critter among more to come: keep an eye out – and your swords ready!

Cats are so agile and hard to kill that it’s said they have nine lives. In the case of the fiendcat, this is literally true … I already feel very bad for many groups of adventurers! πŸ˜‰

You can check the monster out and download (for free) here:
