And so it was for millennia, through two dynamic ages the lorekeepers and scribes called Ascensions.

Until the world ended. Most call it the Fall, but whatever term a given people choose to use, it marked the point where everything – everything – changed.

Nations crumbled. Races died. Magic sputtered. Nature sickened. The Dead woke.

The Lost Citadel dark fantasy RPG draws players into the setting of Zileska, a land ravaged by death and undeath, where all that’s left of civilization has gathered behind the walls of Redoubt – last remaining city of the living.

Vallejo Model Color Set: WWII & WWIII – Utility

Estimated Release: 2020
Publisher: Vallejo

The water-based formula of Model Color has been specifically developed for adherence on difficult surfaces such as metal and plastic, but the product is not toxic, not flammable, and does not give off noxious fumes. Errors can be corrected immediately with water or alcohol. Model Color dries quickly to a matte, even, and waterproof finish. Exact drying time depends on the temperature and humidity of the environment, on the surface which has been painted, and on the thickness of the paint layer – although the colors are dry to the touch within minutes, the water content keeps on evaporating, and the paint does not acquire its true permanence until several weeks after application.

The Monsters Know What They’re Doing: Combat Tactics for Dungeon Masters

Estimated Release: Q2 2020
Publisher: Saga Press

In the course of a Dungeons & Dragons game, a Dungeon Master has to make one decision after another in response to player behavior—and the better the players, the more unpredictable their behavior! It’s easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away.

In The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, Keith Ammann lightens the DM’s burden by helping you understand your monsters’ abilities and develop battle plans before your fifth edition D&D game session begins. Just as soldiers don’t whip out their field manuals for the first time when they’re already under fire, a DM shouldn’t wait until the PCs have just encountered a dozen bullywugs to figure out how they advance, fight, and retreat.
