Gargoyle Cathedral is a Fifth Edition plug-in adventure for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 5, 8, 11, or 14. This document offers a general guideline on scaling the adventure for each level. The characters enter a gothic cathedral to rid it of the pests within. Little do they know that the cathedral is the lair of deadly creatures disguised as statues. And that’s not even the worst thing there—pockets of strong temporal magic pose a great risk to any creature that enters the cathedral, potentially shunting them back into the past.

DMDave is currently running a Kickstarter for The Fifth Edition Gamemaster’s Survival Guide.

This book is a collection of 300 expert monster tactical guides for the Fifth Edition of the World’s most popular roleplaying game. The guides are succinct, easy to use, and inject great fun into your Fifth Edition games. Plus, they’re designed to challenge your players while ensuring everyone is still having fun at the table.

The Kickstarter includes:

• A 300+ page hardcover book featuring tactical guides for almost all of 5e’s monsters.
• Boxed set upgrades which include playbook cards, tactical GM screens, quick monster tactics decks, and more.
• Digital and VTT-ready versions of all the goods featured.

So how does it work?

The tactics guides include a bevy of information to ensure you fully understand how to use a Fifth Edition monster in combat.

• Fighting Style shows you the monster’s fighting archetype, such as Skirmisher, Artillerist, Brute, Controller, and so forth.
• Set-up tells you how to plan your encounters and where your monsters should start for optimal combat tactics.
• Basic tactics give you a round-by-round breakdown of the moves you should make with your monsters.
• Weaknesses tell you the monster's shortcomings and the types of character builds you should look out for.
• Pairings tell you the best monsters to combine with your monsters for maximum synergy.

These monster guides take into account the monster’s statistics, too. So monsters with low Intelligence scores won’t act nearly as savvy as those with high Intelligence scores, and so on.

You might even see some familiar maps in the pack! These tactical guides are the perfect addition to my Into the Wilds battlemaps if you are looking for quick and easy ways to run great encounters on the fly.

So if you’re ready to take your game to the next level, grab a copy of The Fifth Edition Gamemaster’s Survival Guide now! Only 5 days left to back it!
