Every month I gather together some of the best new releases from the DMs Guild. You won’t find many bestsellers here; the huge amount of new content appearing daily means that lots of great work slips through the cracks. It’s my aim to shed some light on those undiscovered gems, and to give you some fun new things to use in your games that you might not otherwise be aware of.</p>
<p>This month was a big one for the Guild as a whole, with the release of the <a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/247882/Wayfinders-Guide-to-Eberron-5e">Wayfinder&#8217;s Guide To Eberron</a> unleashing a torrent of Eberron-specific creations onto the site. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about Eberron, so most of that material was lost on me. If you&#8217;re looking for picks of the best new Eberron releases, I&#8217;m afraid you won&#8217;t find them here! Not this month, at least.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d also be remiss if I didn&#8217;t mention Loot The Room&#8217;s latest release, the <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/248398?affiliate_id=1021227">College of Cadence</a>. I&#8217;m obviously wildly biased, but I really love this new bard college that Matt Sanders and Cody Faulk have put together, and I&#8217;d love it if you checked it out. It&#8217;s only $1.95, so really you&#8217;ve got no excuse (unless you hate bards. But you don&#8217;t, right?)</p>
<p>That&#8217;s enough from me. Let&#8217;s get to the roundup!</p>

I took some time off, but now I&#8217;m back and bringing you my picks from the new releases in April and May. (You can find out a little more about the break I just took <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-19395069">here</a>).</p>
<p>In these posts I gather together some of the best new releases from the DMs Guild. You won’t find many bestsellers here; the huge amount of new content appearing daily means that lots of great work slips through the cracks. It’s my aim to shed some light on those undiscovered gems, and to give you some fun new things to use in your games that you might not otherwise be aware of.</p>
<p>Before we get started, I have an Honourable Mention this month &#8211; <a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/242219/Chaotic-Evil-Compilation-001?affiliate_id=1021227">Chaotic Evil Compilation #1</a> by Rafael Martins. I didn&#8217;t include this in the main lineup, because it&#8217;s a pair of adventures (well, an adventure and a quarter of an adventure, since the second half is a preview of a separate work) and I haven&#8217;t had a chance to run either of them. The main thing that drew me to this, and that made me want to bring some attention to it, is the the layout. I loved reading through this, partially because of the landscape orientation (which I&#8217;m really glad to see more people embracing), but also because the faux-real-magazine style of presentation is executed brilliantly and really made me feel like I was flicking through an old (albeit short) issue of Dungeon.</p>
<p>Now, on to the goods!</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p></p>March's roundup features tons of new monsters and a host of paper miniatures, plus more!]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Welcome to March’s DMs Guild roundup! Every month I gather together some of the best new releases from the DMs Guild. You won’t find many bestsellers here; the huge amount of new content appearing daily means that lots of great work slips through the cracks. It’s my aim to shed some light on those undiscovered gems, and to give you some fun new things to use in your games that you might not otherwise be aware of.</p>
<p>There are a couple of releases this month that I want to draw your attention to, though they&#8217;ve done well enough already that I didn&#8217;t want to bump anything from the main list to make space for these. Think of these as Honourable Mentions, of a sort.</p>
<p>First there&#8217;s <a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/238261/Monsters-Without-Borders?affiliate_id=1021227">Monsters Without Borders</a>, a Pay What You Want title that serves as a preview for the upcoming <em>Monsters of the Guild</em> project that I&#8217;m very excited about. This is a selection of some of the bost monsters in that larger book, with the added incentive that all the creators involved in this one are donating their royalties to Doctors Without Borders.</p>
<p>Second up is <a href="http://www.dmsguild.com/product/237037/The-Mines-of-Chult?affiliate_id=1021227">The Mines of Chult </a>by Jeff C. Stevens, Shawn Merwin, and Tony Petrecca. Jeff essentially invented to Encounters format on the DMs Guild, and he&#8217;s teamed up with two of the best adventure writers around to present a host of encounters you can drop into any adventure that journeys down into the mines. I received a complimentary copy of this book, but I was happy to pay the $6.95 asking price after I&#8217;d looked through it. It&#8217;s already a Silver Bestseller, and for good reason.</p>
