How many times has locating a store become an encounter of its own? In this week’s free D&D Magic shop Side Quest, adventurers can stumble upon the Sanctum Emporium, an interdimensional business that deals in magical oddities and rare curios. Run by an eccentric mage, brave shoppers may find all sorts of useful equipment, and …
I want to try something a little different with today’s free dungeon encounter. Normally, I write up a little narrative to explain the “why’s” and “how’s” of some maps, like with Bertie Bigglesby or Spellzog’s.

Hi-diddly-ho, adventurinos! I felt inspired this week to do a short d&d one-shot Side Quest focusing on oozes and alternate dimensions that can be wrapped up in a short-and-sweet evening session! This one might make germophobic characters a little squeamish, so make sure your players are cool with swimming around in filth and ooze. …

This month’s Side Quest is an exploration-focused romp through a extra-dimensional library, complete with plenty of traps and challenges. I love the mystique surrounding libraries big and small, and …
