Awesome 5e Content Every Month

Hey Critical Crew!

This month’s release throws your table into the thick of a heist of most epic proportions. Kobolds and Cowboys is a high-velocity train heist set in the blazing badlands of Nowhere, where steam-powered constructs connect inhabitants of the desolate region with iron tracks and outlaw posses are an every day occurrence.

The locomotive races towards the horizon and the only way forward is from one train car to the next, fighting across roofs, through cargo holds, dining cars, prison wagons, and armored vaults while the desert tears past around you.

At its heart, this release is built for grindhouse-style play. Your table takes on the role of a reckless kobold posse attempting to hijack a coal-powered locomotive golem, fighting forward until they are thrown from the train, blown apart, or crushed beneath iron wheels. Death is not a setback - it's expected and happens frequently. When one kobold falls, another rides in from the dunes atop a naked mole rat and joins the fray. The result is chaotic, fast, and hilariously lethal - a moving dungeon where survival is earned car by car, and the train itself is the final obstacle.

Because of the nature of this release and because we are turning it into a physical book, the layout is a bit different, and you will find even more content than usual coming to you this month!

This 130+ page Train Heist supplement includes:

  • 13 printable creature .STL's and 12 .STL's for scatter! One of which is the absolutely massive Locomotive golem that can be played INSIDE OF! (it is HUGE)
  • 20 Unique Train Car Encounters, for the posse to fight through
  • 8 New Stat Blocks for the Kobold Posse and their Naked Molerat steeds (also includes 14 previously released statblocks for use with the train car encounters)

  • 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.

  • (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
