JVC Parry brings the Dungeon Masters Guild something on a completely other level with the release of The Wizard of Zo. Oozing with flavor, evocatively tied to the Tomb of Annihilation campaign, and filled with cheeky (but not tone-breaking) references to The Wizard of Oz, this adventure also excels at providing fun encounters across the gamut of the three pillars of play. It’s hard to find this level of consistent quality.

E. R. F. Jordan tackles one of my favorite subjects in Animal Training (5e Rules): befriending the monsters you meet on your adventures and turning them into useful allies! It dovetails nicely with the established rules for Beast Master ranger animal companions in that it states outright it’s doing something for all characters and classes. It divides the subject matter into three simple sections, each with compelling, elegant mechanics. For a subject that I’m so invested in, it’s a tall order for Animal Training to bring something I like to the field, but E. R. F. Jordan’s system mastery and concise writing delivers in every way imaginable. I’m definitely using this guide in my games.

E. R. F. Jordan’s Quirks (5e Rules) is a roleplay-heavy rules supplement that gives players a major character trait that has both beneficial (talents) and negative (flaws) sides. Though certainly focused on the roleplay, this book features elegant mechanics for the quirks, and they translate extremely easily to other existing mechanics, such as minor magical item properties, background features, and more. This versatility, along with some guidance by the author for using quirks as alternate rewards or having them chosen via random roll, really gives Quirks a lot of usability in a clean 11-page package.

Archetypal Spell Compendium: Artificers & Arcanists is a mechanics-heavy supplement geared towards players. It presents 101 new spells and a handful of new archetypes for spellcasting classes (including the official and newly-released-to-the-DMsGuild class, the Artificer). The author’s mechanical knowledge of 5th edition is fantastically showcased, as is the amount of lore that enhances the Forgotten Realms setting as well as touches upon other campaign worlds through the origin notes on several spells. This book is jam-packed with well-balanced, well-researched gaming material you can immediately start using at your table.
Rating: Content 5/5 and Form 4/5.
