I would like to play more games.
The intent behind the Timekeeper was to emulate the weird list of weaknesses creatures like Vampires have and create something that would feel threatening to a higher level 5e party. Add in a good dose of cosmic horror and a light smattering of fingernails and voilà! (2/2)

This looks really cool!

Definitely on the more complex side, but I think players who want to play this kind of character would appreciate the complexity. Also it has 6 subclasses so the variety is huge just in this one document. (10/12)

Finally (for now?) is The Warlord class by @kibblestasty.bsky.social. Honestly I don't know why there was never an official Warlord class for 5e, but I think this version does a great job of creating that battlefield commander class. (9/12)

The quality of this product is fantastic but more so than that, it gives me an odd sense of nostaliga. My childhood dinosaur obsession revived in #ttrpg form. I believe there is a #pf2e version of this too. (8/12)

Next is Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs by @palaeogames.bsky.social. Now, this is such a good idea that I don't know why it wasn't done before. Basically its a monster book, but its DINOSAURS, and written by Palaeontologists and illustrated like those dinosaur books you had as a kid. (7/12)

Generally I'm not a huge fan of barbarians, but adding these gambits gives them much more depth and lets barbarians play a lot more tactically. (6/12)

Now for a slightly more obscure one. Gambits and Warchiefs by u/Lucritius12 on reddit (idk if they are on bluesky but will tag them if I find them!). This gives Barbarians the Battle Master fighter treatment, giving them Gambits analagous to manouvers. (5/12)

Next is #Arcadia by @hellomcdm.bsky.social. Everything MCDM puts out is pretty much an instant buy for me but the huge variety of content makes Arcadia the standout. New monsters, adventures, subclasses, varient rules, all with the trademark MCDM playtesting polish. (4/12)

A subclass for every main 5e class, very creative magic items, and a bunch of witch lore, what's not to like? It's also full of fantastic art (which is a theme with most these recomendations) (3/12)

First up is Hexbound by @antodemico.bsky.social. I've always found witchcraft to be a more interesting side of magic that somehow keeps the mystery even in a high fantasy game, and Hexbound is just a huge book filled with witchy goodness. (2/12)

Of course!
