Free creature traps, monsters inspired by Welsh folklore, and a dark Wonderland are all in this week’s 5E compatible RPG Roundup.

It’s time to roll the dice on new releases! Come check out this week’s batch of brand-new 5E compatible tabletop role-playing games.

Hunting the Mutineer Bard

Venturing into the bayou means stepping into a hostile and mysterious environment, where nature itself seems to conspire against intruders.

This adventure can be played as a standalone experience, offering a tense and self-contained journey through treacherous swamps and the dangers lurking beneath the murky waters and the mysterious Lover’s Lane city. However, for those who wish to explore the archipelago in its entirety and uncover its hidden secrets, we highly recommend The Crew of the Sea Tigers. This manual not only enriches your game with new details and stories but also includes a complete atlas of the archipelago—perfect for those looking to add greater depth to their campaign.

Approached by a pirate, named Armand, while in a tavern, the group receives the mission to get a little box from a bard, who stole it from Armand’s captain. The group will have to reach the Bayou, the infamous island where criminals and desperate people seek refuge when the world abandons them, and there find the thief before his crew reach him and take him away. In this adventure the group has the chance to work for Sunil, even though they don’t know it yet.

Whispers in the Windmill

A 5e compatible one-shot module for 3-5 players between level 1-5

An old windmill stands silent, its once-familiar sounds replaced by unsettling whispers and restless movement in the dark. Something has gone wrong within its walls—something tied to a misguided act of curiosity and an ancient power best left undisturbed. Now, strange forces stir among the flour-dusted halls, and the mill’s secrets are guarded by more than just locked doors. The adventurers are tasked with uncovering the truth, facing the mill’s restless inhabitants, and putting an end to the growing threat before it spreads beyond the mill’s walls.
