The best-selling 'zine for 5E game masters and players.

SIDEQUEST is a love letter to the gaming 'zines of old, and is packed with 5e compatible  content to inspire you. Whether you are a game master or player you'll find something to use within the pages of SIDEQUEST. 

What's Inside

This sample issue includes a range of articles taken from across the 'zine's history to give you a taste of what SIDEQUEST has to offer. Within, you'll find: 

• The Reaver. A fighter subclass from issue 15 that builds up violence dice that they can spend for devastating results in combat.
• The Archive of Great Depth. A fantastic location from issue 13 for you to place in your world for your players to travel to and discover the secrets of a lost civilization and the immense knowledge they guarded.
• Vinder’s Vault.  A collection of new magic items for you to use as quest rewards, place in dungeons, or stock the shelves of the local magical emporium.
• The Fossegrim. A CR 6 Fey monster from issue 13 that uses magical song to lure and defeat its enemies.
• Beneath the Bank. A short adventure from issue 23 designed to be run in a single session with zero prep, which sees a group of 1st level heroes delving into the depths of a bank vault and taking the treasures within.

GM Advice. Finally we have an article from issue 12 on how to structure your campaign planning like the seasons of a TV show and use that structure to bring in recurring elements, themes, and villains.

All the mechanical content in this issue is compatible with the 2014 version of Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition. 

Download includes an 18-page bookmarked PDF and tokens of the Fossegrim monster for use in VTT play.
