Welcome to the latest 5D Pop Culture Website Weekend exploration of some of the great community creations in the world of Table Top Role Playing.

Steeling their nerves against the onset of fear, the adventurers raised their shields and stepped into the dragon’s lair. The walls crackled with veins of molten magma; sweltering heat washed over them, greasing their hands with an uncomfortable layer of sweat. The smell of brimstone was impossible to ignore: every cave they stepped through, every tunnel they crept down, it felt like the dragon was breathing right in their faces, sour and deadly.
Dread began to grow like weeds in their hearts. Would they ever leave this place? Would they ever see the sky again? What had possessed them to challenge the dragon in its own home—the place where its advantage was absolute? In the end, it didn’t matter. All they could do was press on, sharpening their will to survive against the whetstone of that dark and awful place.
*
When the party approaches a powerful boss creature, one of the gamemaster’s many roles is building up tension and dread—an atmosphere that foretells the deadly encounter the players are about to face. One of the best ways to build up this tension is the lair: a place where the boss has the edge and their power is visible everywhere the players turn. A well-placed lair makes a boss encounter unique and memorable. After all, what could be more awesome than chasing a vampire through its castle or fighting a dragon amidst its hoard of treasures?
This book describes a series of lairs at various levels of power, suitable for any boss creature you want to challenge your players with.

Your datapad pings on your wrist. An urgent text from Ablecorp Dispatch scrolls across the screen: “Ablecorp Resource – You have been assigned a new ticket.

Quick Ship File: Kinunir Class Vanguard Cruiser (Traveller)
This book is for the Second Edition of Traveller by Mongoose, though it should be compatible with any other edition
*

The Kinunir class ship was originally envisaged as a Colonial Cruiser, intended to be an all-purpose vessel operating along the borders of Imperial Space. Powerful enough to see off local trouble, and fast enough to be able to avoid more powerful vessels.
The ship is fitted with multiple redundant systems, and considerable facilities for the crew (the comprehensive galleys being a particular favourite), but is cramped and lacking in heavy offensive armament (apart from the extensive missile capability – but this increased logistic
dependence for resupply).
*
This guide contains:
Ship art including 15 pages of poster art.
Ship statistics.
25 pages of deck plans (empty and cluttered).
Crew ORBAT and 6 view drawings.
Random ship location chart.

Faith’s Reward – Sarenrae (Pathfinder)
Sarenrae’s faithful are spread throughout Golarion. From the heart of her worship in the Padishah Empire to those in the Crown of the World who revere her as Sister Cinder, she has a firm presence all around the world. Her followers bring justice against those who do evil, bring peace to the hearts and bodies of the innocent, and work tirelessly to redeem those who bring about harm.

*
If you, like me, are a fan of running characters with strong ties to faith but are tired of constantly running clerics and champions to allow that faith to reflect in your mechanics, then you are the kind of person I wrote this for. I love what Sarenrae stands for and what she does. She is an easy deity to grok, and serves well as a starting point for introducing the great importance faith can have for your characters.
*
In this document, you will find ways to turn your faith in the Everflame Into power, and to bring a Sarenite flavor into your future characters. You don’t have to play a worshipper of Sarenrae to access every mechanic in this document, but even the options that don’t require faith in Sarenrae are thematically aligned with her worshippers.
