Mediterranean Races is Out!

Here’s a new book out for Legendary Games! Mediterranean Races is a spin-off book where I put all the material on character races that didn’t fit into Mediterranean Monsters. Hope you like it!

Tomorrow there will be still another piece of content on my Patreon page, only for patrons!

Occultist Unified Tradition for Champions/Legends of the Spheres & (New) Exit

The occultist is not a skilled class but, like the arcanist, it is so entwined with the idea of using magic items that the Artifice and Spellhacking spheres seem made just for him. So maybe he’s the real psychic factotum class?

Plus, here’s an odd thing I found by chance while checking my author profile on DrivethruRPG. Some years ago I wrote some contributions for an Italian supplement for Shadow of the Demon Lord and I had pretty much forgot about it after that because the publisher didn’t contact me again… now I found that apparently the supplement has been translated into English and published on DrivethruRPG without me knowing anything. So I have something else to put in my author page and didn’t expect it. Enjoy, if you like, Death and Decay: Creature Codex for Shadow of the Demon Lord.

Mediterranean Monsters for PF1 is out!

Legendary Games’ Mediterranean Monsters for PF1 is out! Inside, you will find many Italian and Greek monsters (and some monsters from other cultures too) that were devised by ME! The fluff and some crunch from these were also used to develop the PF2 and 5E versions of the same monsters for the other 2 versions of the same book.

To celebrate, tomorrow there will be a special piece of content on my Patreon page. Be sure to check on it!
