Bloodstone Press publishes D20 RPG material and short stories. We are currently focused on our Amazons vs Valkyries setting, a historical fantasy set in the Hellenistic Age. Some recent projects are outlined below. For upcoming titles, check out the In Development page.
Ancient Magic
Ancient Magic is a collection of spells, classes, subclasses, magic items, and optional rules inspired by real historical sources. The spells were found in Egyptian tombs, Greek spellbooks, and Roman laws, then converted to 5e. The magic items are inspired by items featured in Norse sagas and Greek epics. The classes and subclasses are based on spellcasters of the ancient world.
At 250+ pages, this the largest project we have undertaken. It is also the most heavily researched and most thoroughly play-tested. This project has been in development for nearly three years and is finally nearing completion!
