Mad Hermits and Necromancers

After the chaos of the last few weeks, it seems rather comforting to return to the bosom/bowels/embrace of the System Neutral Monstrous Lair line. And what could be more relaxing than a necromancer...

Drinking at the Three Bells

Behold—your free and exclusive Mini-Eventure for January!

Attached to this post, you’ll find three editions (5e, OSR and Pathfinder 1) of Drinking at the Three Bells, a Mini-Eventure set ...

Introducing System-Neutral Urban Locales

This week, we have the first two books in the new Urban Locales line. You might recall I posted a sneak peek at these books before Christmas. At the time, the books fell under the OGL. However, giv...

Into the Hidden Redoubt

This week, in a change of scheduled plan, Raging Swan Press has a new Dungeon Backdrop for you! This is particularly exciting as I’m also including a first look at what a System Neutral Dungeon B...

Changes to the Release Schedule

With all the controversy over the upcoming OGL changes and Wizard’s recent statement that supplements already released will be unaffected by the upcoming license (whatever form it takes), it seem...

Even Moor Wilderness Dressing!

Do you see what I did there?

I live in Torquay, Devon. But ten miles away or so lies Dartmoor; I love Dartmoor—it’s a magical place, and I’ve set many adventures in rolling moorland. It...

The OGL 1.1 and Raging Swan Press

I’ve received many questions in the last week about the leaked draft of the OGL 1.1 and its effect on Raging Swan Press.

I’ve attempted to set out my thoughts several times. Every time, m...

Monstrous (Human) Lairs for Your Campaign

And we are back! I hope you had a restful and rejuvenating festive break and that 2023 is already looking like it will be a better year for you than 2022.

At Raging Swan Press, we are diving ...

Quasi-Hibernation for Christmas

It’s that time again: Christmas is imminently here, and so Raging Swan Press is slipping into a state of quasi-hibernation. 

Thank you for your support, trust, and attention in 2022. Y...

Dreaming Portentous Dreams

I had a surprise earlier this year; when I downloaded a report of all our sales at DriveThruRPG going back 12 years: Portentous Dreams was #19 on our best-seller list! (You might not think...

Into the Old-School Forbidden Isle

This week, Raging Swan Press brings you the final edition (for OSR games) of Forbidden Isle of the Nightstalkers as well as a first (preview) look at the Urban Locale line.

In case y...

Dress Your Wilderness!

The schedule is packed this week as I am plotting a week off(ish) over Christmas. (I hope you will also get some time away from work to relax over the festive break). We have two new Monstrous Lair...

Dressing Up Your Dungeon

Many, many years ago, we published GM’s Miscellany: Dungeon Dressing (P1) and (System Neutral) editions. A few years ago, we re-released the series with a new layout, new art and an edit...

Dressing You Campaign One Page at a Time

As you no doubt know, every week we release handy one-page GM Resources on our blog. This week, we gather all these...

Into the Lands of Snow & Ice

If I’d themed this month’s Wilderness Dressing release correctly, it would be called Wilderness Dressing: Wind & Rain. But I didn’t, and so we are off to the lands of Snow & ...

Packs of Stirges and Herds of Bulettes!

This week, we return to the Monstrous Lair line and some more monsters we unbelievably missed on our first (and second) run through the Monster Manual. I haven’t had the occasion to use ...

Drinking at the Vilimzair's Arms

This is one of those rare weeks in which we aren’t releasing any “proper” products into the world. (Raging Swan Press is resting—the Dread Thingonomicon took it out of us, and we’ve just ...

2023 Release Schedule Musings (Poll)

As 2022 lumbers toward a close, I’ve started thinking about 2023’s release schedule. I work several months ahead—I have to if I want to keep up with the release schedule—and shortly, I must...

Into the Village

I get the occasional email bemoaning the vast amount of products we’ve published over the last 12 years. Fair enough; we do have a fair few knocking about.

One line that could really, reall...

Back to the Forbidden Isle

This week, we return to the Forbidden Isle for the Pathfinder 1 conversion of Forbidden Isle of the Nightstalkers. As you might remember, last month we released the 5e-compatible edition o...

Discord Updates for Raging Swan Press

I wanted to let you know of an exciting development on the Raging Swan Press Discord server.

Discord has recently added a new feature to create Forums on Discord servers. I've enabled this an...

Extreme Weather (Dude)!

Weather is often overlooked in gaming. If an adventure is set underground, weather is not normally a factor. (Although, obviously, it can be.) For wilderness adventures, though, weather can sometim...

Shopping at Nalthra's Jewellery

Last month, I forgot to upload your free and exclusive mini-eventure. Luckily, Richard P nudged me over the weekend to correct my error!

So find below September's mini-eventure: Shopping at...

Into the Lair of the Purple Wisp or the Will-o'-Worm

It’s Monstrous Lairs week! This week, we once again focus on two monsters we really, really should have featured before this. In fact, I’m not sure (again) how we overlooked them.

I’ve ...

The Dread Week is Upon Us

The Dread Thingonomicon is upon you! That’s right, this is the week we’ve been waiting for! On Monday, the Dread Thingonomicon goes on general release. I am beyond excited. I ...

This week’s release is a new 5e adventure—Forbidden Isle of the Nightstalkers—for 3rd-level characters.

Adventure on the Ocean Waves

This month, the wilderness we dress is the world’s oceans! It’s very hard to dress the actual ocean waves, so instead, we decided to add depth and flavour to your characters’ voyages! I hope ...

Wraiths and Lichs (Finally)

I’m a little bit embarrassed we haven’t done wraiths or lichs before in the Monstrous Lair line. I mean, they are pretty iconic foes. I’m not sure how they slipped through the net. (Well, I k...

Looking Forward to September

September is a big—nay a huge—month for Raging Swan Press. Not only have we got a new 5e adventure for you, Forbidden Isle of the Nightstalkers, but we’ll also release the Dread ...
