The small mining town of Grymm perched on the very edge of the Great Desert is the kind of town you leave - but when Dad gets a three-month contract in the mine there, Mina and Jacob, unwilling stepbrother and sister, are reluctantly arriving. From a grotesque letting agent who seems to want to eat their baby brother, a cafe owner whose milkshakes contain actual maggots and the horribly creepy butcher, baker and candlestick-maker, Mina and Jacob soon realize that nothing in Grymm is what is appears to be. In Grymm, your worst nightmares really do come true.

From the #1 Best-Selling author, Jeff Ashworth, comes the latest addition to The Game Master series, with more than 500 NPCs ready to populate your campaign whenever you need them! As is often the case in tabletop roleplaying games, players often venture into locales or look for answers in places and among people busy Game Masters simply didn’t anticipate. Or, just as often, an adventure won't have fully fleshed out characters in place for the locations and encounters outlined for gameplay. The Game Master's Book of Non-Player Characters solves these issues and more by providing Game Masters with the information they need to “fill in the holes” in their campaign play. It will enable GMs to instantly add depth, color, motivation and unique physical characteristics at a moment's notice to unexpected or underwritten characters as they pop up during gameplay, ensuring every session is a memorable one for players and GMs alike. This edition also includes more than 50 hand-drawn illustrations of select NPCs detailed in the book, 3 bonus one-shot adventures, and a foreword by online influencer Jasmine Bhullar.
Epic Legacy is 2CGaming's Epic level expansion to 5th Edition. Following the tradition of older editions, we envisioned tiers of play above 20th level and brought them to life in the form of the successfully crowdfunded Epic Legacy Core Rulebook. After thousands of hours of development, play testing, and an awesome community at our backs, we delivered the ultimate Epic-level 5E experience which has received critical acclaim throughout the RPG sphere. This system empowers both Players and DMs to take their 5th Edition game to the literal next level, and hundreds of adventurers and DMs wove Epic tales of wonder and glory. With Epic Legacy you can advance PCs to 30th level through the awesome power of Epic Prestige classes that compliment every base class, cast world shattering spells, face down gods and monsters of incalculable strength, and many many more epic experiences that can't be found anywhere else in 5th Edition. That is why we knew we had to come back and push this awesome system even farther by creating the Epic Legacy Campaign Codex. This project seeks to both build upon the rules presented in the Epic Legacy Core Rulebook while providing 5th Edition gamers of all stripes a platform to launch their most epic campaign yet. Whether you are new to Epic Legacy or a grizzled veteran back for more, we welcome you to explore and share all this incredible system has to offer. At 2CGaming we are always trying to innovate on our presentation, so when we decided to expand upon the Epic Legacy system we knew we couldn't just an expansion. We needed something new, a worthy vehicle to deliver that not only empowered the reader with new Epic Legacy content, but upgraded its presentation and format. That vehicle is Nexus, The City of Legends; a campaign springboard that seamlessly integrates new content into its streets and people.
