June 9, 2020 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

May 19, 2020 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Free to Download: Beowulf 5e teaser adventure released today

March 17, 2020 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What makes Beowulf a little different from other D&D 5e settings and rules adaptations is that it’s designed for duet play. In other words; one GM and one player. Handiwork has tweaked the mechanics to suit.
