Normally places for the poor or the penny-wise, boarding houses offer lodgings and food; most such places offer only the barest of essentials to their guests.

Far below the sunlit surface lie places and things undreamt of by decent commonfolk. Some such things have never seen the light of day, while others have escaped into the Underlands to escape the hated sun.

It’s no secret that at Raging Swan Press, we are big fans of dressed dungeons. A dressed dungeon feels more real than an undressed dungeon. A dressed dungeon engages your players’ imaginations, promotes creative play and helps them immerse themselves in the adventure.
February is upon us, like a pouncing black pudding.
We’ve got a full suite of new releases for your gaming pleasure. The Wilderness Dressing line moves out of the hills and into ruins—the sites of many exciting adventures—and Bart Wynants lures your players into the Starfall Chantry in this month’s Dungeon Backdrop.

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.

We are also busy putting the finishing touches to a Patreon-exclusive mini-eventure ready for release at the end of the month.
