[7:38 PM]Przemyslaw [LilaLoom Press] [YŌVA], : Okay then 😉 ! Great to be here, thank you. My name is Przemyslaw. I’m the founder of LilaLoom Press and the creative lead behind the YŌVĀKYĀNA Campaign Setting. I’ve been playing TTRPGs for more than 20 years, spending most of that time as a DM (a forever DM, of course) and designer. I now bring that experience to the project I’m leading. YŌVĀKYĀNA grew out of decades of interest in mythology and theology. It is heavily inspired by Indian and Persian antiquity, while remaining a fully original campaign setting. The inspirations stay at the level of influence, the real world itself is not present in the work. (done)

[8:05 PM]Rutibex: Hello I am Michal Robinson the creator of Encounters in Deep Space! https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/558147/encounters-in-deep-space Big moral sci-fi episodes, built like dungeons. In the settled core of human space, the Concord of Worlds keeps the peace with law, oversight, and hard limits on what technology—and what societies—are allowed to exist. This book is about everyone who left anyway. Encounters in Deep Space is a system-neutral, 5e-compatible adventure book full of 100 deep space scenarios for your starship crew: rogue colonies, drifting arks, experimental habitats, frontier economies, and outlaw technologies scattered across the silent dark. Each encounter plays like a short, self-contained sci-fi episode with the structure and usability of a classic dungeon room—just stretched to starship, station, or whole-planet scale. There are no alien empires here. Just humans, pushed to the edge of law, scarcity, and belief.Encounters in Deep Space – Rutibex | DriveThruRPG

[Q&A] Ember Winters (Arcana Moderna: Modern Fantasy Roleplaying)

[1:10 PM]Ember (Em): Hello! My name is Ember Winters, I am the sole owner, writer, designer, and editor of Spelltech Press. I recently launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for my first game, Arcana Moderna! Arcana Moderna is a modern fantasy TTRPG built on 5e, designed for settings where the worlds of magic and the post-industrial clash and intertwine. To quote my Kickstarter, “…where magic, monsters, and ancient secrets exist alongside smartphones, skyscrapers, and corporate shuffle…It’s D&D in the modern age: mages in the board rooms, mimics at the burger joint, ropers in the junkyard, aboleths at the waterpark, and dragons soaring over towering skyscrapers.” The Arcana Moderna: Quickfire Rules is a complete mechanical and flavor overhaul of the 5e SRD, complete with an overhauled class list of 11 classes and 22 subclasses, a new Origins system, new skill list, new travel rules, an alternate combat system, vehicle combat rules, new feats, new equipment, an updated creature list with new creatures and new kinds of dragons, and an overhauled spell list with over 100 revisions of SRD spells and 26 brand new spells. The rulebook is releasing in April 2026, alongside a companion adventure: Palana Moderna: Fatal Attraction https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcana-moderna/arcana-moderna?ref=user_menu Also, as a little treat, I’ve created an official Spotify playlist for the game, full of tunes and tracks that inspired me during the creation of this project. Feel free to take a listen during the Q&A! And thank you, Dan, for having me here today. 🙂 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5yZuKlRasXHafrdynLHTMJ?si=6214788358a24044KickstarterArcana Moderna – Modern Fantasy RoleplayingA Modern Fantasy Conversion for 5ehttps://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/5yZuKlRasXHafrdynLHTMJ?utm_source=discord&utm_medium=desktop

[Q&A] Xoth Publishing (Last Kings of Alantha)

Posted by saintnexan on January 28, 2026

[7:31 PM]Xoth Publishing: All right. My name is Morten. I’ve been playing and gamemastering TTRPGs for 35 years, starting with AD&D 2nd Edition. I enjoy Tolkien, but prefer pulp adventure (less elves and more tentacles, I guess!).

[7:31 PM]Xoth Publishing: Around the year 2000, when D&D 3E and the Open Gaming License was released, I put up the Hyborian Age d20 Campaign website (https://hyboria.xoth.net/), which became a much-visited resource for fantasy roleplaying in the world of Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian. My work was noticed by Bill Webb of Necromancer Games, and in 2004 they published my book “Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia”, a regional sandbox adventure set in a mythic bronze age, featuring ghouls, sand-worms, and mighty ziggurats.

[7:31 PM]Xoth Publishing: After that, I started self-publishing swords and sorcery adventures for 3E and eventually 5E, set in the World of Xoth but usable with any old-school, low-magic setting. It began with “The Spider-God’s Bride and Other Tales of Sword and Sorcery”, a 200-page collection of ten adventures inspired by the stories of Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, and other pulp writers. It was followed by several other adventure books; the whole catalog can be found on https://xoth.net/publishing/ and also on DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/15833/xoth-publishing and print-on-demand books on Lulu: https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/xothpublishing/DriveThruRPG – The Largest RPG Download Store!Your one-stop online shop for new and vintage RPG products from the top publishers, delivered fresh to your desktop in electronic format.LuluXoth.Net Publishing – Books and Publications Spotlight | Lulu

[7:32 PM]Xoth Publishing: Which brings us to today: The latest adventure, “Last Kings of Alantha”, was released in October 2025. It was written as an homage to Robert E. Howard’s short story “The Gods of Bal-Sagoth”. Like most of Howard’s best stories, this one has it all: swords, sorcery, intrigue, mystery, monsters, and themes of civilization versus barbarism. And the action is set on an island, making it self-contained. In other words, an excellent starting point for a sword and sorcery adventure module!

[1:04 PM]Stancypants: Hey there! I’m John Stancil with Stands to Reason Games and I write content for 5e D&D. I have made a Matrix RPG and working on a few other projects at the moment, but here we’ll talk about Ironlocke, my setting for 5e D&D. It’s a steampunk setting, with a twist. The Great Realm of Ironlocke is a setting where Humans have dominated the world. Through policy, programs, and propaganda, humans have claimed that the future belongs to them, and that things like elves, dwarves, and gnomes are fairy tales. The reality is much different. Done!
