It’s always the perfect time to game, and we hope you can find something below that will help you have more fun with your friends!
Small roadside shrines appear in many towns and cities. They venerate important saints, local deities, or gods without a formal church in the area and are often tended by a small group of dedicated lay worshippers.

At Raging Swan Press, we believe that games set in a richly detailed, immersive world are better than games that are not. It should come as no surprise that we are huge fans of dungeon dressing, but what exactly is dungeon dressing, and why do we keep going on about it?
With Citadel on the Wilderlands now out in the world, our attention turns to the Late 2024 edition of Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands and the Player's Guide to Citadel on the Wilderlands!
February is upon us, like a pouncing black pudding.

Read MoreThis is an unprecedented time, and we find ourselves in uncharted territory. The world today is not normal, and I suspect your gaming has been impacted as we all battle Coronavirus. In the grand scheme of things gaming isn’t crucial or critical, and Raging Swan Press is not exactly an emergency service. We aren’t scientists and we can’t treat the ill or cure Coronavirus (that’s the Wife’s job).

I can’t remember exactly what day our first product went live at paizo.com, but I can remember the excitement of seeing our first live listing. Of course, we’ve come a long way since 2010, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look all the way back to the beginning.
Our first three books were Retribution, The Village of Swallowfeld and The Lonely Coast. This month, we return to The Lonely Coast with a compilation of the original supplement along with full details of the coast’s capital—Wolverton—and its four villages Bossin, Hosford, Oakhurst and Swallowfeld. This 90-page book is the supplement I would have published back in 2010 if I could have. It’s a complete mini-campaign with enough design space to customise it to your group’s needs.
