Adventure
This release brings our latest adventure 'Dance of the Faceless Court'. Drawn into the Tanglewood at the height of the Hollow Crown’s rise to power, your players step into a living ballroom of intrigue, bargains, and quiet manipulation. Whether attending as honored guests, spies, or desperate investigators, the party must navigate a web of rival courtiers, dangerous customs, and unsettling performances where even the act of dancing can shape their fate!


Stat Blocks
This release includes 7 brand new statblocks drawn from the twisted hierarchy of the Faceless Court.

Match wits with Unseelie Courtiers, masked manipulators who trade in secrets, leverage identity as power, and can strip rivals of their will with a single revealed face.

Witness the haunting performances of Unseelie Cruitears, living instruments whose bodies have been reshaped into tools of entertainment, their music as dangerous as it is tragic.

Stand against the relentless Unseelie Courtsguard, fungal enforcers grown from rot and decay, spreading corruption and guarding their masters with unthinking devotion.

Beware the Unseelie Masceareri, the court’s master artisans of identity, crafting magical masks from stolen faces and reshaping others into something… new.

And at the center of it all stands The Hollow Crown, the first Unseelie King - an entity who has turned names into weapons and whose very presence rewrites the rules of power within the Fey.

Player Options
Play as our latest player race the Nomenrae - lunar moth-folk stripped of their names and displaced from their own identities. Once part of a forgotten Court tied to moonlight and memory, these Fey now exist in a fractured state. Playing a Nomenrae means stepping into a character defined not by who they were but by what remains, and what they might become when given the chance to reclaim themselves.

And we’re also revisiting the Tether player class with a brand new subclass - the Unmoored Discipline. Unmoored tethers have learned a dangerous truth: in lands shaped by truenaming, identity itself is a liability. By severing the stability of their own presence, they become difficult to remember, impossible to define, and resistant to the very magic that binds others. Playing an unmoored tether means embracing uncertainty as strength, fighting not as someone who is known, but as something that cannot be fully grasped, claimed, or controlled.

Items
This supplement also brings you 11 new items. With items like the Unseelie Maschera, the Fair Gift Box, and the Crane-bag, your players will quickly learn that every gift in the Fey Courts comes with a cost. Slip into a stolen identity, turn worthless stones into fleeting treasures, or bargain your way into something far more dangerous… just be careful what you offer in return!

Spells
This supplement also brings you our 5 latest magic spells drawn from the strange and dangerous magic of the Fey. Demand tribute with Tithe, lure creatures to their doom with Way of the Wisps, and unleash haunting power with Wail of the Banshee!

Maps
We've also got 2 total battle maps (gridded and gridless variations) - for the Court of the Hollow Crown himself!

    -Breno Pelissoni

  • I loved the unique aspects and themes that you guys create, the crazy creatures like the golem locomotive to the entire theme of the Mages' war. I was very impressed with the high level of quality, thought, and balancing that goes into every bit of work you guys create. It shows the level of dedication, care, and passion the whole team and community has for the brand

  • At first (i was drawn in by) the monster stat blocks, then I bought the sourcebooks and haven’t looked back

    - Archie Wyman

  • I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons for 6 yearsnow, always looking for a new ways to play and things to try. Only (the) CriticalCrafting Team were able to keep up with me for now with their flavorful playeroptions and fun new monsters to defeat. Also who wouldn't want to get to play acowboy or real necromancer, especially that these are not the only great thingsthey offer.

    – Prim

  • I have been following the Critical Crafting crew for a while, and I even picked up the loremaster tier on Patreon. If you're thinking about looking into buying their work, or even supporting their Patreon, you will find it incredibly worth it, for both the quality of content you receiveand the versatility (you) can use it for. No matter if you're a player or a DM, they cater to all players. The community is sincerely one of the best places I have found in small company dnd content creators, with the people being incredibly friendly and with the true light of passion they all have for the game is amazing. It truly is a close community who always welcomes players and dms, new and old with warm and open regards.

    – Luna Eclipse

  • (The first thing I noticed was) how beautiful the artwork was at first, but what keeps me coming back is how well balanced most of the magic items, monsters, and even subclasses/classes & races
