Dhampir

Kala slips from the shadows, slaying the target by sliding her dagger into his heart. The bloodlust rises. Though she rejects her heritage, the yearning to feed mounts with each kill.

Spindrift Dwarves

Hemera shouts ‘Land Ho!’ After days adrift with storm torn sails, she rouses the other members of her clan. The Saltbeards are saved.

This is the first of a series of posts to introduce you to the races and classes included in every Shard subscription as part of the Core Content Pack. Today, we focus on a new dwarven subrace, the Spindrift Dwarves.

All in on 4.1

When we started the journey to build Shard Tabletop, we were convinced that embracing the incredibly popular and growing 5th edition of the world’s greatest role-playing game was the right way to go. And while its been incredibly fun to build both a product and a community around this shared belief, we just kept having this nagging feeling there was a better way.

Custom Pact Boons

We released a content update to the Shard Player’s Guide this morning that makes Warlock Pact Boons a custom type. This change was made to allow additions, extensions, and replacements to the list of pact boons available from various otherworldly patrons.

Existing Warlock characters will need to reselect their pact boon from the level dialog. Pick Level Options will appear at the top of your character sheet. Just click on that, scroll to level 3, and click the new Pick Warlock Pact Boons button.

Like many others, early 2020 brought Chris Burson to a crossroads. The pandemic brought early retirement and threatened his tabletop game nights. He took his games online and discovered a new passion for map making. The Crafty DM was born.

Marketplace Phase I

Phase I of the Shard Tabletop Marketplace just went live a few minutes ago. In this phase, the only content is the free content. Deploying this early version will allow users to give us feedback on the search, filtering, product detail pages, navigation, etc. before we enable the full purchase experience later this month.
