In October 2023 we presented the all-new Arcane Library Bundle featuring bloodcurdling D& D Fifth Edition adventures from The Arcane Library. Each of these short, easy-to-run modules fills one short play session (3-5 hours) and includes full-color maps suitable for online virtual tabletop (VTT) play. Designer Kelsey Dionne wrote the highest-rated Dungeon Masters Guild adventure ever, Secrets of Skyhorn Lighthouse, and in early 2023 raised US$1.3M on Kickstarter for her old-school standalone FRPG Shadowdark. Get these artfully terrifying Arcane Library adventures for an unbeatable bargain price, then invite your friends to face Halloween horror.
Since 2017, with The Arcane Library YouTube channel and a later blog, Kelsey Dionne has chronicled her journey as an independent game designer. Recently she has helped novice designers and DMs learn the basics of writing and publishing adventures through tutorials like “How to Write a D&D Adventure: The Complete Guide” (Oct 2021): “I’ve muddled my way through this process enough times to make it repeatable, and now I want to pass along some of my learning to you.” After Shadowdark RPG achieved its spectacular Kickstarter success, Kelsey released a Third-Party License that opened much of the game’s content to outside designers. The Arcane Library itself, like the modules in this all-new Arcane Library Bundle, embodies the open, collaborative spirit of the Old-School Revival.
