D&D: Five Adventures You Should Play As Part Of Play It Forward
Play it Forward at the DM’s Guild means 100% of sales go to creators. With that in mind, here are five adventures and creators you should check out!
Play It Forward is a big DM’s Guild and DriveThruRPG sale that aims to support creators by providing 100% of the revenue earned to the creator. Normally they get a cut of the sales, anywhere from 30-50%, depending on what kind of publishing your doing. But until May 17th, all proceeds go directly to community creators. So if you have a favorite author or friend who’s making amazing adventures and other content, you should check ’em out. Here are five of our favorites, along with their creators.
Unbridled – $11.96
UNBRIDLED is a book of 19 adventures for D&D 5th edition featuring hags and unicorns, each of which provides a unique and bizarre take on the theme handpicked from pitches by a unnerving array of enthusiastic (and almost entirely unvetted) authors.
- slay the cookie unicorns of the apocalypse
- save an evil witch from the injustices of unicorn court
- drift into an astral lazer cooking battle
- steal a taxidermied unicorn thirst trap
as if this weren’t enough, we’ve put together:
- an entire directory of Weird Magic for hags, such as the wig of ensnaring, the lung lamprey and the conch of the moist imperative
- a bestiary of odd creatures, such as the prehistoric primal hag, the witchicorncop (half-unicorn, half-witch, all cop). hagbaxi and caticorns
- a playable unicorn race, in case you want to be a unicorn because you want to sparkle and don’t mind not having hands
this book contains adventures by:
Catherine Evans, Alicia Furness, Jessica Marcrum, Liz Gist, Joshua Barbeau, Jonny Robertson, Kai Linder, Alison Huang, Jacky Leung, Em Miller, A. Kelly Lane, Kat Kruger, R. Morgan Slade, Richard Malena-Webber, Zeke Gonzalez, Kayla Bayens, Matthew Whitby, Brittney Hay & Oliver Clegg
Dance Dance Resurrection – $4.76
In the bowels of the Underdark, the 24/7 night club “Tomb of Bad Decisions” raves eternally to mad songs from alien worlds.

SET YOUR PLAYERS AGAINST THE MIGHT OF
- THE L.S.DEMON
- THE BROHOLDER
- AND THE EVIL F.L.A.Y.E.R
THE PLOT MAKES NO SENSE, BUT WHO CARES? EVERYONE IS OFF THEIR FACES ON POTIONS ANYWAY AND IT’S NOT LIKE ANYONE IS HERE FOR THE PLOT
JUST FEED YOUR PLAYERS ALCOHOL AND THEY WON’T EVEN NOTICE
Wild Magic For Every Class – $1.95
Shouldn’t every single player character have a way to introduce dynamic magical chaos into their playstyle? Wild Magic for Every Class is a new feat and accompanying set of Wild Magic Surges that answer this question: “BY VIOLET LIGHTNING, YES!”
Included in this Pay What You Want PDF, you’ll discover 600 new surges spread over 12 tables – one for each core class in Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition. Will your Fighter sprout suction cups from their fingers and go on an unstoppable grappling spree? Will your Paladin get a terrifying false reading from their Divine Sense? Will you catch the money bunny!? Each surge provides a whimsical disruption of the status quo, a unique mechanical outcome to react to, or both!
Every party is unique, and as always this supplement is written with that in mind. Also included are variant rules and play advice to help ensure that introducing more randomness doesn’t mean detracting from other folks’ fun. Whether you want to integrate Wild Magic as a story element from the start or simply add some spice to an existing character, you’ll find a solution. Both social and in-character guidelines are provided, and the hundreds of surges listed can be easily replaced piecemeal or even remixed if you write your own!
If you or someone you know are the kind of player that can’t get enough of those hectic d100 Wild Magic rolls, then this is your time to shine. But even if not, Wild Magic also works as a great temporary effect caused by an enchantment, a curse, or a magically unstable environment. This supplement fits any setting with an unpredictable source of magic, and any character with or without an available feat slot.
If Wild Magic for Every Class hits 3000 downloads and 250 purchases A free Electrum Expansion will be developed and added to this supplement!! 100 new Surges spread across two new tables, one each for the official Artificer class and Matt Mercer’s Blood Hunter class! Development should take at least a couple weeks, since we hit Electrum so fast and I’m still covering post-release stuff. In the mean time, check out my previous DM’s Guild entry, Last Stand – A Worthy Death. Epicness insurance is not for the faint of heart…
But while you live, live wild!
