If you’ve been playing D&D for decades like me, or you’re just getting started and looking for some ideas for homebrew rules to improve your game, this supplement contains four ideas that are rules-light and easy to implement tonight. These ideas are based on older edition rules from 1978-2005 and include: • Fast Disengage: A way to make movement more dynamic by rewarding, rather than penalizing players who want their characters to move around the battlefield more. • Sleeping Dragons: If you imagine dragons being like giant cats, it’s reasonable to think they sleep a lot. How often? I have a quick and easy rule for that. • Training to Level up: I present a simplified version of the official optional rules on this from 5th edition, and a short humorous history of how this used to work in old school D&D • Mass Combat: If the idea of having huge, cinematic battles in your games appeals to you, but every system you’ve read seems complicated and overwhelming, I present a simple six-step system in a little over 500 words.

Port Corvus is a short fantasy city supplement set in the capital of Corvindor. Explore its upper cliff districts, bustling lower harbor, and iconic lift system in a ready-to-use three-page setting for your tabletop campaign. It is designed as a supplement to Strange Tales for Small Towns, but can also be used on its own. It also connects directly to the free Corvindor setting, available for download here

Within the City of Port Corvus, in the Westcliff District, is a vibrant neighborhood known as Stadium Bluff. Sitting on the edge of a cliff, and built around a large stadium, this neighborhood has 10 fully detailed locations that can set the stage for town adventures, or be a home for your player characters between dungeon or overland adventures. Together with the Westcliff District PDF, the Port Corvus PDF, and the Corvindor PDF, there are four levels of details in which to ground this setting.
