This month's map pack is themed around countryside villages. It contains 4 ten-room "dungeon" maps and 6 "encounter" maps. Each map comes as an image file with both gridded and non-gridded versions and both low- and high-resolution versions. (So four versions of each map.)

• Guidelines for creating and setting up a hex crawl in advance of a game session.
• Guidelines for running the hex crawl at a game session.

Endeavors & Exploration, Lair Magazine #27, March 2023 Issue - $15+ patrons
THE HEX CRAWL ISSUE!!!
This month's issue delivers the following 5e-compatible resources:

• The Harrowed Lands Hex Crawl - Everything you need to run the Harrowed Lands hex crawl, designed for characters levels 5 to 7, including nine encounters, three mini-adventures, and three full-length adventures. Maps are included for everything: the Harrowed Lands region, encounters, mini-adventures, and adventures.
• Hex Crawl Encounters - Nine stand-alone exploration and social encounters with maps: A Deal with the Devil, A Refugee Crisis, Ancient Conflicts, Chains of the Giants, Divine Evil, Grave Troubles, Protection of Light, Unknown Assailants, and Wares Most Unusual Indeed.
• Hew Crawl Mini-Adventures - Three mini-adventures with maps, each designed to last roughly one game session: The Battle for Withering Hill, The Clockmaker, and The Children of the Woods.
• Hex Crawl Adventures - Three full-length adventures with maps, designed for characters levels 5 to 7. The three adventures are detailed below.
• Hellions Below - Level-5 fifth-edition adventure.
  After waves of ruthless attacks have swept across the area, one man has tracked its path, and his city is next in line. Terror fills everyone as the attackers seemingly appear out of thin air, destroy everything, and leave without a trace as quickly as they come. Only this time, something curious was left behind: a single crystal necklace. Could this be the key to stopping the horrific slaughters?
• Proof of Poison - Level-6 fifth-edition adventure.
  The peace of any land is such a fragile thing. Natural disasters, invasions from outsiders, and the will of fiends, fey, and the divine shape the land and test its inhabitants. However, the biggest threat to ordinary people often comes from within. Prompted by a heavenly vision, the party will need to investigate a prominent noble for proof of misdeeds because the peace of the Harrowed Land can be disturbed with a single vial of potent poison.
• The Hunt for the Ring of Secrecy - Level-7 fifth-edition adventure.
  When a ring is sold nobody thinks much of it. Particularly when the ring is sold by a shop specializing in the magical to someone who is well known to be a mage. Such is a common enough occurrence. Of course, when that ring has a story all its own, the transaction is never as simple as it seems.

It's a Simple Heist...Right? (level-3 fifth-edition adventure) - $25+ patrons.
The adventure comes with digital maps for online play.
Sikeera is a half-elf spy with ties to the local thieves’ guild in Tindale, a growing city of commerce. She wants to make new connections to ensure her rise within the guild. Lurking about town and the tavern, she is looking for those who may be able to aid in her latest venture: a simple heist, a stealthy smash and grab, no harm, no foul, but there’s a catch. All is not as it seems for this job; the mysterious inn on the edge of the wilderness and the strange patrons don’t seem very friendly. These things, plus the reports from Sikeera’s spy at the inn, make this inn appear to be more than it is, but what more could it be? It’s just a simple heist… right?

Discount Codes - 5-15% off all digital products in the DM Lair Store

Sign-Up for Monthly D&D Game - $15+ patrons

Pathfinder 2 Content

We are working now on converting the three adventures included in Lair Magazine #27 -- Hellions Below, Proof of Poison, and The Hunt for the Ring of Secrecy -- to Pathfinder 2. They should be available for $15+ patrons toward the middle-ish of March!

As a reminder, these will be released as "unofficial content," meaning they won't be done up in a fancy PDF like our other resources. We are focusing on fine-tuning our conversions before we worry about making them look pretty.

Thank you all so much for your patronage and happy gaming!!!
