Fronts are an amazing organizational tool codified in the Dungeon World roleplaying game that are incredibly useful for any roleplaying game when managing antagonistic organizations, cults, and factions. They act as a way to organize your thoughts on what opposes the player characters, developing clear goals (and the steps used to achieve them), establishing what resources an enemy group has, and listing important figures. From there, you can foreshadow, develop full adventures, and maintain the changing landscape of the opposition’s forces throughout the campaign.
Here’s a useful template for organizing your campaign’s Fronts.

Prolific Dungeon Masters Guild writer and editor R P Davis has released Skill Challenges in 5e as a conversion of the Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition mechanic to the bounded accuracy of 5th edition. It comes complete with examples and a stat block of sorts. Looking for a structured system for handling complex investigations, challenging social interactions, or simply a way to measure the challenge difficulty of non-combat encounters to award experience points for something other than killing monsters? This is gonna be your jam.

The Baby Bestiary by Metal Weave Games is a brilliantly inspired two-volume set (as of this writing) of cute and cuddly — and sometimes horrifically dangerous! — monsters that are perfect for rearing in the fantasy roleplaying game of your choice. I’ve created a shared Google Sheet that acts as an index for all of the monsters that appear across both volumes, lists their rearing traits for easy reference, and links to several monster stat blocks for your game of choice, whether it’s Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, Swords & Wizardry, or Pathfinder (1e)! Click below to check out the table.
Note that some of the monsters don’t appear in online SRDs, so you’re going to have to go to the official monster book of choice and find the monster or some equivalent. If you have ideas for cool variants and other references, post ’em in the comments below!
Gary Gygax was not an idle person. Outside of co-creating Dungeons & Dragons with Dave Arneson and becoming a driving force of the expansion of the game into later editions, he was a prolific article writer (see the pages of early Dragon Magazines!) and was more than happy to share his anecdotes, thoughts, and tales with friends and fans of all ages. Here then is a compilation of several of his earliest articles and a few later ones, alongside an interview and more. These were originally compiled as the Gygax Legendarium site, which has since gone dark.
