If you've not listened to The Maniculum Podcast, I highly recommend it. Zoe Franznick and Mac Boyle do an excellent job of bringing those cultures and time periods (specifically medieval in their case) into the spotlight and helping their listeners find those useful touchstones in medieval literature and events that we can bring into our modern RPG storytelling.

From all of these discussions, Zoe and Mac have pulled together 50 magic items that are based around real-life items that can be found in museums or medieval manuscripts. These magic items can be found in Marginal Worlds, their first TTRPG supplement that is now live on Kickstarter. Marginal Worlds is a deck of cards with these magic items detailed and illustrated for use in any TTRPG campaign.

Planescape was weird, vast, and groundbreaking. It has endured as card games and video games and has been kept alive by those that love it and even revisited occasionally in subsequent editions of D&D. Now, with Adventures in the Multiverse, 5th Edition finally returns to the planes and brings the setting back to life with modern updates, beautiful artwork, and a clever adventure campaign that pays homage to the past.

Delayed several months due to a production error, The Book of Many Things for Dungeons & Dragons is finally hitting store shelves. It’s a unique addition to the official D&D product line - a beautifully crafted supplement that is both a game accessory and a book of game options. Neither is necessary to play D&D (or even to use the Deck of Many Things that it's based around) but for those who pick it up, you will enjoy what it offers.

New publications from the D&D Team have been slow this year (Tales From the Golden Vault was their last publication back in February), but they are now making up for lost time in the back half of 2023. A string of books have been released rapid-fire with more on the way. These first three books each fall into a different aspect of D&D books - lore, supplements, and adventures. The Practically Complete Guide to Dragons is a rules-light, lore-heavy book that acts as a good companion to Fizban's Treasury of Dragons. Next, Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants is a rules-heavy supplement that provides everything you need to include giants, giant kin, and giant treasure into your D&D Campaigns. Finally, Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk is an expansion on the original starter adventure, Lost Mine of Phandelver, that takes adventurers into a full campaign ranging from levels 1-12. We'll take a look at each of these and help you decide what works best for your gaming and worldbuilding needs.

Spelljammer finally makes its spectacular return in a beautiful way, Spelljammer: Adventures in Space - a three book boxed set full of updated rules, beautiful artwork, character options, aliens, monsters, and of course, Spelljammers.
