The Griffon's Saddlebag: Books Three and Four are coming September 1st! (Patreon)

Follow the campaign here!

Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for your continued support while I work hard on these books and rewards ahead of this two-book campaign. These books consolidate the last four years' worth of content (November '21– October '25) and pack them full of great additional art and satisfying page designs. While current items are made to accommodate both 5 and 5.5 content, the items from these books will have an additional revision pass made to them to make sure that all items and content have that same consideration made for them.

So, in Books Three and Four, you have:

Nearly 1,000 magic items

48 playtested subclasses (4 per core class, 2 per book)

3 playable races/species

28 campaign-agnostic settings (and well over a hundred new statblocks to accompany them)

Extra Rewards

Ledger Plus Access Codes: Look forward to digital integration of the books with your support using the Saddlebag's custom and convenient compendium, The Ledger+. Your pledge will allow you to access these items and search, sort, and save them on the fly across your devices, and even create curated loot tables with your collections!

Item Reference Cards: Easily track and reference your magical treasure with item cards for these new books, as well as fresh reprints of older ones! This release recollects and packages these cards into all-included boxes, which features a delightful Saddlebag physical design and a built-in index inside the integrated magnetic lid!

NEW! Card Box Bonuses: New with this release are bonus accessories per box of cards, which are based on the box's associated book! That means that your Book One cards will have different rewards than those from Book Four's box! Inside each box you'll find:

4 postcards featuring new art from the book's various settings

1 enameled pin

1 iron-on patch

1 high quality sticker

NEW in Print—Griffons of the Multiverse: The digital-only and acclaimed griffon bestiary from the second book's Kickstarter is coming to print: with even more griffons! This exclusive reward comes for free to those who pledge for both the new books and their associated cards! Thank you so much for your support!

Keep Going! Back Skellies October 1st

The Saddlebag's premiere no-stakes and undead RPG, Skellies, lands on Backerkit immediately after the campaign for Books Three and Four comes to a close! Play as a skeleton in a lich's thrall and use your Bones, Brains, and Goofs to make your undeath as fun as possible! It's free!

If you've trusted me with your D&D games, thank you: I hope you can find it within you to extend that trust just a little further and check out Skellies—it's free, and you can read (and play!) it right now. The rules themselves can fit on the inside cover, but its capacity for hijinks and laughter extends as far as your imagination. It's delightfully simple, endlessly tongue-in-cheek (despite the fact that skeletons have neither), and offers a great on-the-fly pickup game whenever someone calls off for game night—better yet, follow up a dramatic TPK to reprise those same characters as skeletons! I hope you enjoy it!

See you in September!

Regardless of where you place your support, thank you for being here. This work is an honor and privilege, and I do it as a love song for both you and the rest of the RPG community. Thank you so much for letting me to keep making this.

See you in September, and make sure to follow along with the campaign!

Keep on adventuring, and thank you for your support!-g
