Nimuë, The Lady of the Lake warlock patron makes her deals with the truly desperate... but she promises the power of the deep, dark waters, and - to the truly worthy - Excalibur itself.

The sect of Chalice Domain Clerics originated from the Isle of Glass, where they devote themselves to the sacred well at the island's heart. This well holds the Water of Life – a water said to hold the memories of a long-forgotten deity, and to have the ability to heal all ills.

The once-prosperous Rushbank Farms are struggling, and farmers fear that the eels who once kept their wells full have abandoned them. A call has been placed for adventurers to locate them - and discover what dangerous creature has called them away. Are you up to the task?
There's nothing so magical as spotting an otter playing in a river... until you look closer and realise it's a LOT bigger than you thought! Aquarium brings the Irish dobhar-chú, the King Otter, to life alongside 30+ other water-dwelling monsters.
Bards from the College of the Uncanny may seem mortal, but there’s something about them that deserves a double-take. Their eyes might reflect the light oddly, or their teeth may be just too sharp. Perhaps it is the way they move, like a predator stalking its prey.
The Storm Hag is fully aquatic, living and hunting across the bottom of large, deep lakes. She lures ships into sharp rocks with her beguiling song, after which she picks off its sailors at her own pace. And if she makes eye contact with you, terrible things will happen...
When you're out fishing, what are you expecting to catch? Certainly not this gargantuan beast! The Brosnya is a lake monster said to haunt only the deepest of natural waters, surfacing most often in the evening, and attacking all who disturb it - especially unwary anglers...
Beneath the moon, only one thing breaks the slate-black surface of the reservoir; an old crumbling steeple, exposing the village long-drowned beneath the surface. Locals swear that the bell tolls at night. No one goes near the water. The water remembers: the drowned remember too.
Foraging for bog iron isn't the only way to craft unique sets of armour... You can also spend your time angling for armoured fish, and use their scales to create watery adventuring gear packed with magical properties!
We know how much you loved crafting in Herbarium - so we're bringing it back! Forage, dig, & discover bog iron and have it forged into rare weapons & armour sets. There's also a whole hoard of new items inspired by items dug up from real-life bogs - including the ardagh chalice!
The occasional mummy isn't the only thing to be found down in the bogs - some legends claim that kings were sacrificed to the waters by displeased locals. What they forget to mention is that they might come back one day...
Anyone who's stepped into a bog knows there are bodies preserved in the mud... but what happens when the spirits of the dead start haunting nearby towns? Throw this muddy, mosquito-infested adventure at your players in Aquarium, our latest book coming to Kickstarter on March 1st!
Have you met the Fossegrim? Many warn about the handsome young man who lives in the woods, as simply to see his dark eyes is all it takes to be charmed into his lair. He can change his shape into that of a white horse, dragging unfortunate riders into the waters to be drowned.
Many of the fish that you can catch in Aquarium can be cooked and eaten! With additional Chef feat bonuses, edible fish imbue all manner of perks, including bonuses to ability scores and attacks, additional health, and improved vision - amongst many others ✨️
Limnades are carnivorous nymphs who haunt only in the freshest of waters. These canny shapeshifters take whatever shape they desire in order to hunt their favoured prey: humans. Their enchanting songs lure their prey into their watery lairs, as drowned meat is the sweetest...
Tizzie whizies may look cute - but they’re a whole host of trouble! Unfathomably fast and twice as clever, they’ve a penchant for things that don’t belong to them and no fear when it comes to defending their stolen hoards. And we've even written some tips on how to tame one!
Being a creative is a wild world of constant imposter syndrome! It gets the best of us sometimes ♥️ I hope it shifts soon!
Ever wanted to take a trip to the Well of Knowledge? In Aquarium you'll get just that chance! The Gardens of Eternity promise infinite knowledge - for a price. This supposed miracle well is luring pilgrims and swindlers alike, but all it leaves in its wake is ruined fortunes.
Aquarium currently contains 85+ hours of adventures - with more being written as we speak! Each adventure is designed to run for 4+ hours and contains at least one of our watery folkloric monsters - as well as advice on how to level each adventure up or down.
