Crit Academy Presents: Memorable Monsters

Created by Crit Academy

Memorable Monsters will be the ultimate guide to monsters and NPCs, bringing 50 fully fleshed out monsters and NPCs to your 5th Edition game - from ancient powerful dragons who seek to subjugate the kingdoms around its lair, to once-powerful wizards who flew too close to the sun and are now cursed. Memorable Monsters contains detailed backgrounds, short and long-term goals, and a collection of different ways to include the monster into your stories and campaigns. From a traditional villain, or a source of information, to a quest giver, merchant or ally, you’ll find what you need to make all your encounters memorable.

Hello backers!

We just wanted to take a minute to let you know our latest project Aelx's Bombastic Oddities just launched! We would love it if you would jump over and take a look and consider supporting this project!

Aelx’s Bombastic Oddities is a system-agnostic TTRPG GM sourcebook for the new, the confused, and the ones no one takes time to think about. Contained in this book is a collection of useful and inspiring creations designed to do one thing: spark something. That’s the real purpose of this book, not to tell you what to create but to lead you to create it all on your own. Our hope is that the things in this book serve as anchor points that propel your mind into the sea of life abundant and allow the spark of inspiration to burst into a cataclysm that can only be tamed by furious writing of your newfound ideas.

Aelx's Bombastic Oddities is written and created by Aelx Bomb and produced by Crit Academy.

This book has been written and produced with accessibility AND inclusion woven into every seam and every word. This includes but is not limited to changes from the industry norm like including a pronunciation appendix that uses like sounds, not syntax, font choices, sizing choices, etc. ABO has been proofread by other dyslexics, color blind folks, people who struggle with migraines, visually impaired folks, and people for whom English is their second language to give the most inclusive and painless experience while reading Aelx’s Bombastic Oddities.

Weapons and armor with skills, not just stats!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Sep 20, 2022 at 11:28:35 PM

Hello All,


We just wanted to pop by to let you know our newest project Exotic Equipment Perks launched today!


RPG players love options. The more varied and unique their choices are, the more they can immerse themselves in the game.


Fifth Edition has a lot of great features, but many people feel that it's missing something when it comes to equipment. There are too few options, and most of them feel very bland.


Exotic Equipment Perks is the solution to this problem. This supplement offers new skills and techniques that can be used with specific weapons, armor, or tools. This allows each piece of equipment to feel unique and exciting, just like players want.


We are nearly 40% funded already and we hope you will consider checking it out!

Extraordinary Expeditions: Modular adventures for 5th Edition is NOW LIVE!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 13, 2021 at 06:20:32 PM

Hi Everyone!

We are so excited that our latest project is NOW LIVE here on Kickstarter!

Check it out now:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/critacademy/extraordinary-expeditions?ref=58n3vk

Extraordinary Expeditions is a collaboration brought to you by the best-selling authors at Crit Academy and Arjade Productions. In it, you will find ten flexible adventures, one for each of the first ten levels. These adventures are written in such a way, that you can easily scale them to any level. Each expedition is designed to be flexible by breaking them into four parts. We include overviews of each section of the adventure so the DM can read through quickly to get a full understanding of the contents of the adventure. Additionally, features of the areas, tactics, and other notable elements stand out for easy reference. Monster stat blocks are located in each adventure so there is no need to constantly flip back to the appendix. In addition to wonderful artwork and maps, we also feature monsters from our favorite creator, Kobold Press!

Thanks for all your support!
