Hello, fellow adventurers!

Here are a few of the rings from my manual Mythological Items, each built around a very different interpretation of what a magical ring can do.

The Spatial Ring draws from the pocket-dimension rings commonly found in Wuxia, Xianxia, and Xuanhuan stories, allowing its wearer to store objects inside an extradimensional space and summon them with a thought. The following page also includes a collection of Special Spatial Rings, with variants designed for alchemists, hidden libraries, spirit beasts, concealed weapons, preservation, and more.

Draupnir, Odin’s legendary golden ring, focuses on abundance and divine authority. Every ninth night it creates eight replicas of itself, while also granting abilities tied to Odin’s wisdom, protection, and generosity.

Andvaranaut, on the other hand, is considerably less pleasant to own. The ring generates gold and can lead its wearer toward hidden wealth, but carries Andvari’s curse, slowly pushing its bearer toward greed and misfortune unless the curse can somehow be broken.

If you’d like more items in the same vein, 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 5.5E is now live on Kickstarter! It includes 300+ magic items inspired by myths, legends, folklore, gods, heroes, monsters, and ancient traditions from around the world.

Hi fellow adventurers,

We are excited to announce that Mythological Items is now live on Kickstarter!

This is our new D&D 5E and 2024-compatible manual dedicated entirely to magic items inspired by myths, legends, and ancient stories from around the world.

Inside the book, you will find 300+ mythological magic items, including weapons, armor, wondrous items, and scaling items designed to grow alongside your characters and campaigns.

Our goal with Mythological Items is to create more than a simple collection of treasure. Each item is designed to feel like part of a myth: something that can serve as a reward, a quest hook, or even the center of an entire adventure.

The book includes items inspired by many different mythological traditions, including Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Asian, American, Roman, Mesopotamian, African, and other mythologies from across the world. Whether you want divine weapons, cursed artifacts, heroic relics, monster-themed treasures, or legendary items tied to ancient stories, this book is built to bring myth directly to your table.

The Kickstarter page includes a full presentation of the project, several previews, and a free 30-page PDF preview showing a sample of the content from the book.

You can also find many of our other manuals in PDF and high-quality print editions, with special prices currently available both for Mythological Items and for all our other releases.

Thank you again for your support. We hope to see you on our journey!

Here’s a preview of Atlantis: War of the Tridents, one of my larger mythology-inspired D&D releases, built around the legendary lost city of Atlantis and an ongoing conflict beneath the waves.

The book invites players and Game Masters alike to explore a mythic underwater world filled with ancient secrets, legendary treasures, and formidable creatures. This adventure module - compatible with both 5E and 5.5E - guides characters from 1st to 9th level, providing multiple starting points and optional quests.

The manual also contains a vast collection of treasures, monsters, and character options suited for underwater adventures, all designed to create interesting encounters and customize your characters by enhancing their connection to the sea and its inhabitants.

In addition to this, enhanced underwater combat mechanics ensure that encounters throughout the adventure and beyond are both engaging and realistic, with various optional and variant rules to suit your playstyle. The compendium also includes detailed encounter tables for both the city of Atlantis and its surrounding seas, along with comprehensive appendices and a collection of VTT resources, including over 20 maps, handouts, tokens, and more, providing everything you need for a fully immersive experience in Atlantis.

Adventure Premise

Once the crown jewel of civilization, Atlantis thrived as a beacon of knowledge and power, seamlessly blending magic and technology. However, the city's hubris angered the gods, leading to its cataclysmic fall and submersion beneath the ocean. Now, the Atlanteans, transformed into tritons and sirens, live within a force bubble, cursed and bound to the sunken city.

Decades later, a power struggle emerges as the high priest Telamon claims that Poseidon's favor can lift the curse. As tensions escalate and Telamon's influence grows, the Archon Hyperion mysteriously disappears, pushing the city to the brink of civil war. A brave group of adventurers is called upon to uncover the truth behind Hyperion's disappearance and prevent Atlantis from plunging into chaos. The fate of Atlantis rests in their hands.

Where to Get It?

If this kind of setting interests you, Atlantis: War of the Tridents is currently available and discounted through the Mythological Items Kickstarter.

You can get it individually as an add-on (either through one of the tiers also including Mythological Items, or just by itself through the "Add-Ons Access" tier), or as part of the Mythological Bundle, together with several of my other mythology-focused books. It is also included in the larger bundle options available through the campaign.
