DriveThruRPG’s International GM’s day sale continues. Check out the top title: Home-Field Advantage and give your monsters lairs.

International GM’s day has come and gone. But DriveThruRPG’s incredible sale continues on with some phenomenal titles available at pretty sweet discounts. Just the thing to give your DM ideas. And the number one title in the sale, right now, is a uniquely DM-centric supplement that will level up anyone’s game of D&D.

Home-Field Advantage takes monsters and makes them matter. It’s a collection of lair actions that cover 320 different monsters from the Monster Manual, Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes, and Volo’s Guide to Monsters. In its 250 pre-constructed lairs, you’ll find all sorts of new twists and turns. And what really makes it sing is the way that even low-level monsters get lair actions. It makes fights dynamic and interesting. If you want to make your combats memorable, you’ll want to check out this book.

Home-Field Advantage – $16.99

There’s nothing like entering the lair of a boss monster who’s been built up as an antagonist for several sessions. Lair actions are the tool D&D 5th Edition provides you, the Dungeon Master, to make sure that this battle lives up to the hype and anticipation. D&D truly shines when a boss battle is not just a slugfest, but involves the environment and unique obstacles for the player characters to overcome in creative ways. Our goal with Home-Field Advantage is to produce the kind of fun experience your players will still be talking about for years to come.

Run lair actions at every tier of play. Until now, Lair Actions were treated as something only legendary creatures, usually in the 3rd and 4th tier of play, should have. But in practice, adventurers tend to fight bosses in their lair at every tier of play, and most campaigns end before reaching this legendary stage. With over 170 lairs (almost 70% of the book) for the first two tiers of play, Home-Field Advantage puts the spotlight on the parts of the game people love and experience the most, making them shine even brighter than before.

Breathe new life into old favorites. There are creatures without whom D&D wouldn’t be what it is: mages, hags, genies, mind flayers, vampires, or even the mighty Tarrasque. You’ve probably used at least a couple of them in every single one of your campaigns, and you know their stat blocks like the back of your hand. With Home-Field Advantage, you’ll find an excuse to bring back some of those fond memories, and make them fresh (and deadly) all over again.
