CAR-PGa NEWSLETTER, Vol. 29, No. 12, December 2020

At the beginning of the pandemic we shared an infographic about how to game safely, and one of the challenges in sharing it was that countries disagreed on how many people you should game with. That seems like forever ago, and now we have more concrete answers. The dreaded winter surge is upon us, when people retreat indoors for the holidays and when tabletop RPGs thrive. In that regard, playing RPGs around a table has much in common with a poker game or board game night: it’s clusters of people sitting within six feet of each other talking (and hopefully, laughing). All of this, we now know, makes games a perfect vector to spread the virus.

[PR] 5 More Free Monsters from 5E Fearsome Critters

Image
Stamford, CT, August 9, 2020 : The latest monsters are available now for free from the 5E RPG monster book, Fearsome Critters . "Fearsome critters" is a phrase for a uniquely American phenomenon. It first starts with American lumberjacks who were fond of inventing stories to pass the time. Sometimes those stories were invented to prank the newbies (known as “tenderfoots”), sometimes they were to explain unknown phenomena, and sometimes it’s clear they were created to just to be amusing. Often forgotten by fantasy bestiaries, these beasts are back to remind you that they're no pushovers. Inside, you'll find 47 new monsters for 5E games, ranging from the ball-tailed dingmaul to the soul-sucking dungavenhooter, from the fast-moving flitterick to the backwards-flying goofus bird, from the pathetic squonk to the elusive snipe ... they're all here, waiting to confound, confuse, and potentially consume adventurers. This PDF has a bookmarked table of contents, with
