This is one of those rare weeks in which we don’t have any normal release scheduled. But fear not—we do have a Patreon-exclusive mini-eventure for you. In the great tradition of many old-school villages we have a general store run by cultists. Perhaps your characters could pop in for a spot o...
2022-08-26 06:44:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, we return to the site of our second ever adventure: the Road of the Dead. Originally only published for Pathfinder 1, this new and expanded version of the adventure comes in 5e, OSR and Pathfinder 1 editions. With new maps, better organisation and an entire extra encounter, th...
2022-08-19 06:51:58 +0000 UTC View PostI've started working on a Village Backdrop index. This thing will take a fair bit of time as we published north of 70 instalments in the line.
I'm ruminating on the kind and amount of information y...
2022-08-15 08:57:37 +0000 UTC View PostWarn your players, Bart Wynants is back with another cracking Dungeon Backdrop ready to be slipped into your campaign. This time, he takes us (in 5e, OSR and Pathfinder 1 editions) to the Onyx Prison of the Demon King!
This week, I completed work on the print e...
2022-08-12 06:34:50 +0000 UTC View PostWe bravely journey into the wilderness this week with Wilderness Dressing: Plains. While many adventures take place in dungeons or ruins such locales are normally surrounded by wilderness. That’s where the Wilderness Dressing line comes in. Don’t just handwave their party’s journey...
2022-08-05 07:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s Monstrous Lair time! This week, we’ve got free copies of Monstrous Lair #65: Shambling Mound’s Lair and Monstrous Lair #66: Wererats’s Sewer as a thank you for your epic support.
I’ve always thought that shambling mounds are a little bit underused but that a...
2022-07-29 06:57:08 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, we have got the Vile Star storyline in print for you. This compilation book, available in 5e, OSR and Pathfinder 1 editions, is larger than previous Storyline books. We are trying something different.
As well as the three Dungeon Backdrops you get an extended look at Dunstone, th...
2022-07-22 07:17:48 +0000 UTC View PostWe’ve got two fey-focused Monstrous Lair releases for you this week. They would go perfectly with Wilderness Dressing: Woodlands or Wilderness Dressing: Primal Forest. This week, we give you Monstrous Lair #63: Treant’s Grove and Monstrous Lair #64 Pixies’ Gla...
2022-07-15 06:25:55 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, Brian Wiborg Mønster takes us into the desert with Wilderness Dressing: Desert (for 5e, OSR and Pathfinder 1). And Matt Morrow has done us another cracking illustration for the book. Thank you for helping make that possible. I love Matt’s art.

This week, we’ve got another index for you. This time, we turn our fell gaze to the Dungeon Backdrop, Eventure and Mini-Eventure lines. This index presents all the entries to date in all three lines and breaks them down across a variety of rather handy categories to help you find the perfect in...
2022-07-01 07:30:30 +0000 UTC View PostIn all the excitement last week I completely forgot to post your free and exclusive mini-eventure for the month. I apologise. Rest assured I have given myself a stern verbal warning!
In any event, please find June's Patreon exclusive mini-eventure attached to this post. If your characters n...
2022-06-27 11:00:58 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, we release GM’s Miscellany: 20 Things VII. This is almost, but not quite, the end of the 20 Things era. We’ve got one more book left in the series—The Dread Thingonomicon—and the terrifying news is that all 476 pages of the book have got through their initial ...
2022-06-24 06:35:54 +0000 UTC View PostThis would be a somewhat strange encounter and possible proof the GM is either drunk or running out of ideas. Or maybe both. Therefore, I recommend you don’t use these week’s releases at the same time. (But, if you do let me know how it goes!)
Behold: Monstrous Lair #61: Mantocore...
2022-06-17 06:39:19 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, we dive into the wilderness with Wilderness Dressing: Primal Forest. Primal forests are the ancient, ethereal woodlands of the world in which the fey, the elves and all manner of strange plant creatures dwell. Ancient ruins, hidden caves and lost civilisations wait within for ...
2022-06-10 06:34:31 +0000 UTC View PostAll good things must come to an end, and the 20 Things line is a good thing.
I thought I’d explain why the line is ending. I’ve immensely enjoyed publishing the 20 Things books. Many entries in the line have saved my GMing bacon when my players have wandered “off pis...
2022-06-06 08:26:17 +0000 UTC View PostThis month, we have an updated 20 Things index for you and a very special 20 Things. (Well, a 20 Things I think you’ll enjoy reading—hopefully, it gives you some ideas about how to make the failures of the thieves in your campaign more fun!)
The 20 Things index now comprises all 73 of t...
2022-06-03 06:54:25 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s a quiet week at Raging Swan Press this week. It’s one of those rare weeks in which we don’t release anything…except a free Patreon exclusive mini-eventure.
Praying at the Bastion of Peace is the penultimate mini-eventure set in Dunstone. In June, your ...
2022-05-27 06:39:21 +0000 UTC View PostWe have new Monstrous Lairs for you this week, and—even better—they are the first unplugged Monstrous Lairs we’ve published. I think the unplugged format makes particular sense with small supplements in which the covers, legal text and adverts can outweigh the content! Mini-Eventures also f...
2022-05-20 06:58:28 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve written an adventure! It’s only a short one, for 5th-level characters, but I think your players will “enjoy it”. Who wouldn’t want to explore the final resting place of the orc wolf king?
Sepulchre of the Wolf King is a short dungeon-based adventure. I wrote the adve...
2022-05-13 06:51:47 +0000 UTC View PostI really like the title of this post.
Today, you get your hands on--Wilderness Dressing: Swamps for 5e, OSR and Pathfinder 1. It features another glorious full-page piece of artwork by Matt Morrow.
But, onto more important things:
Strange things can happen in the dungeon or the wilderness. Strange things can also happen in the town. Communities have strange laws, customs and festivals. What better way to add depth and flavour to a village, town or city? Make your characters’ next visit to a village, town or city a memora...
2022-04-29 08:18:26 +0000 UTC View PostI thought you'd like to know we have a new line of free downloads for busy GMs! I'm calling them one-pagers. They are extracts from our normal releases and designed to be printed out and just stuck behind your screen for when you don't need the whole book.
The first download is Woodla...

It’s a whopper week of releases for Raging Swan Press! And I couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you.
Not only do we have the final part of the Vile Star storyline, The Pit of Unquiet Souls, but we also have a complimentary mini-eventure, Praying at the Tower of the Sw...
2022-04-22 06:52:32 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, we have a pair of gigantic Monstrous Lair releases for you—Monstrous Lair #57: Cloud Giant’s Castle and Monstrous Lair #58: Stone Giant’s Hall. If your characters fancy taking on some big foes (perhaps in a flying cloud castle) these books are for you! I hope yo...
2022-04-15 06:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostWe leave the town this week to plunge into the deep woods. Many great adventures take place in woodlands, and now Raging Swan Press provides the tools to quickly and easily add flavour and depth to the characters’ adventurous journies. Wilderness Dressing: Woodlands is available in 5e,...
2022-04-08 06:49:27 +0000 UTC View PostTo complement last month’s Urban Landmarks release this week Raging Swan Press gives you 20 Things #71: Urban Events. Use the events therein to add detail to the characters’ exploration of a town or city or to tell them what happened while they were adventuring. You this book free as...
2022-04-01 06:35:47 +0000 UTC View PostI am intensely excited by this week’s release. Retribution is at last at hand!
I started working on the conversion and update of this adventure back in November of last year. I am beyond delighted the adventure is now out for you (and out for everyone else next week). The origina...
2022-03-25 07:51:59 +0000 UTC View PostHello Everyone!
Last week, I offered up advanced PDF copies of Retribution 2022 (in 5e, OSR and Pathfinder 1 editions). I've had some internet access problems over the weekend and have the nagging suspicion some emails have disappeared on me.
If you want advance review ...
2022-03-21 09:28:57 +0000 UTC View PostThis week, we’ve got two Monstrous Lair instalments for you. If you have a burning need to include blue or red dragons in your campaign, we’ve got you covered! (I’m sure your players will be delighted with this turn of events).
Next week, we release the 202...
2022-03-18 07:37:02 +0000 UTC View PostNext Friday, all patrons at the $5 and up levels get their copies of Retribution 2022 Edition in 5e, OSR and Pathfinder before it goes on general release on March 28.
