What People Are Saying

 I've used content from Sidequest in my own world to save me creating monsters and inspire me with quests and other things, which has been especially useful as a newbie!
- Lexi

I really enjoyed perusing through SIDEQUEST year 2, especially issue 15 which was all about devils, demons, and tieflings. I also loved the all of the art throughout the issues! A great read for DMs and players alike!
