Daedalus: Hero-Deity of Artificial Flight

As I write this, I am sitting in a metal tube several miles above the surface of the Earth. No matter how many times I do this, I still find it amazing. I know all the physics involved, but that still doesn’t make it any less a wonder of the potential we can achieve whenContinue reading “Daedalus: Hero-Deity of Artificial Flight”

Avarna: Minor Deity of Tradespersons

I have always been a fan of fantasy deities. The one thing that I always feel is that fantasy deities are missing is some appeal to common persons. I feel that deities that have a direct appeal to adventurers or villains are given special status while those that would be far more relevant to serfsContinue reading “Avarna: Minor Deity of Tradespersons”

PF 1e: Equitaur

We mentioned on Monday that this month is going to focus on monsters all month. We’ll be releasing new monsters for 5e, PFRPG, and 13th Age all month long. This week is the equitaur, a creature inspired by the Phillippine folklore monster tikbalang. See the 5e version here and check out the 13th Age versionContinue reading “PF 1e: Equitaur”

PF 1e: New Slayer Talents

When we began this month, we set off with the directive of posts focusing on either 13th Age or on new class/career options. So far, we’ve focused on the former and all but ignored the latter. So today I thought I would share with you a few new class options that we created. Specifically, hereContinue reading “PF 1e: New Slayer Talents”

PF 1e: A Very Special Anniversary

It was ten years ago this month that JBE released the Book of the River Nations: Complete Player’s Reference for Kingdom Building to the world. This book who’s name is exceedingly too long introduced Pathfinder players to our books and the quality of work we put into our material. This book holds a very specialContinue reading “PF 1e: A Very Special Anniversary”

PF 1e: Fugitive Hunter

Check out the other previews of the Slayer Codex, like the Terran Enforcer and the Poisoner. This month, we are focusing on 13th Age blog posts but we are not doing them exclusively. Our aim is to do two 13th Age blog posts per week and one of another system, baring anything special like aContinue reading “PF 1e: Fugitive Hunter”

5e: Bitter Armor

I was working on some Pathfinder slayers yesterday, and I made a character that previously was swallowed. Let me tell you, if you’ve ever been swallowed, you want some kind of defense against having that happen to you again. Pathfinder already has armor to help prevent against that so I thought I’d convert it overContinue reading “5e: Bitter Armor”

Support Our Patreon

We at JBE are constantly hard at work at bringing you new products. So we don’t always devote the time we would like to updating our blog. Sure, we post previews of upcoming products or we talk about stuff that is in our current products, but we do not just create stuff for our blogContinue reading “Support Our Patreon”

PF1e: Thando Xolani

Earlier this year, we started sharing a new batch of signature characters. These new characters focused on humans and the human experience, helping us all see ourselves in our fantasy games. Today we want to share with you a new one. Allow me to introduce you to our new signature paladin. Thando Xolani’s name meansContinue reading “PF1e: Thando Xolani”
