The Solo Adventurer’s Toolbox

Sick of not being able to find a game? Have a burning passion for D&D and everything it represents but no way to indulge that passion in actual gameplay?

5e Solo Gamebooks presents The Solo Adventurer’s Toolbox for Roll20 VTT! This compendium is the result of many months’ work and contains a complete system for generating detailed, immersive solo 5e Dungeons & Dragon adventures. And by solo, we mean true solo, without a dungeon master. There is no shortage of solo RPG tools out there, and many of them have a system-agnostic focus. The Solo Adventurer’s Toolbox focuses solely on 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons.

Using this system, paired with 5e mechanics, you can guide your PC or PCs solo through any adventure environment, creating meaningful adventures for them as they journey in the Forgotten Realms (or a campaign setting of your choice).

The Solo Adventurer’s Toolbox covers a variety of topics including quest generation, random encounter generation, random dungeon generation, random wilderness exploration, discovering settlements, merchants and shopping, downtime activities, random NPC generation, and systems for generating infinite monster encounters all tailored towards the solo PC. And in the Roll20 version, all rollable tables have been included as clickable, rollable tables, then grouped into macros.

An Elf and an Orc Had a Little Baby 2

A sequel to the Adamantine-bestselling An Elf and an Orc Had a Little Baby. 32 New and Expanded Parentages and a Whole Host of New Upbringings!

An Elf and an Orc Had a Little Baby 2 is a 91-page rules supplement that, together with the original, entirely replaces chapter 2 of the Player’s Handbook. Instead of D&D’s bioessentialist approach, this title separates biological traits and cultural traits into two categories: parentage and upbringing.

To create a new player character using this supplement, players choose two birth parents and an upbringing. (Then they go on to choose a background and class, as normal.) Players can feel free to create any combination to create a unique and vibrant character.
