The Griffon’s Saddlebag — Books Three & Four

BY GRIFFIN MACAULAY

“We love magic items that make you think, ‘I could build an entire adventure around this,’ and Griffin’s imaginative designs are full of that potential. Books Three and Four bring together nearly 1,000 beautifully illustrated magic items, 48 subclasses, and 28 settings you can bring into your own campaign. As fellow adventure creators, we’re especially drawn to that combination of inventive mechanics and evocative artwork—it makes us want to start planning what our players will discover next.”
