From the Desk of the Animancer, October 25th, 2024: Enchiridion: THe Corwyn Catacombs is Available Now!

Earlier this year I teased some upcoming Corwyn-adjacent player options, and I’m pleased to announce that today, to mark the five year anniversary of the adventure being released…they’re out! Enchiridion: The Corwyn Catacombs is our newest player supplement for 5E, featuring:

Rules for playing a chiran character – four arms, five eyes, and the ability to see the fabric of a creature’s soul, oh my!

The full set of Arcus Stones! The Arcus Stone of Preservation featured in the adventure is but one of fifteen Arcus Stones, and grows more powerful the more of them you collect – which is cool and all but up until now you had to roll your own set of Arcus Stones. Now you can get access to the full set!

A new martial archetype – The Souldrinker! Wield a sentient, necromantic weapon and fuel your combat prowess with the souls of your vanquished enemies!

A background for PCs hailing from the time of the chirans.

It’s been relatively quiet in Animancer-land recently (I have, unfortunately, a great many other things competing for my attention at all times, and only so much attention to spread around), but I’ve been reviewing Animancer’s 2021 and planning for 2022 the past few days, and thought I’d share my thoughts on where we are, and where we’re going.
