Magic can unleash terrible destructive forces, allow travel between dimensions, and even alter a creature's mind but it has perhaps an even more rewarding use: making meals that are truly enchanted! Included in the halfling master chef (and wizard) Lilian Prowfeet's eponymous cookbook are a dozen spells perfectly suited to this delicious task whether that's to ready a massive serving of soup wi...

Duergar, gnomes, goblins, halflings, kobolds—in combat their opponents usually have an edge because of their smaller size but this doesn't always have to be so. Indeed the devices they've engineered make them more than a match for much bigger opponents, ingenious contraptions that their enemies know to fear: the duergar tunnel mantlet, gnomish armored steam suit, goblin coal tank, halfling ba...

In the wilderness far from home the usual magics don't always do the trick. Consider looking instead to spells like moonshine to get out of a jam or brew up something good to go with it, rustle herd to appeal to the better nature of a great many beasts all at once, tall tale to make you seem far more heroic than your really are, or the six other great new ways to face...

The Street of Dreams is a mysterious avenue with crowded shops selling various arcane, magical, and bizarre items of all types, staffed by exotic individuals seemingly from distant lands or even other worlds. That alone would make it unique but the street itself is enchanted — appearing briefly in random cities where it is accessible by chance or by those who know how to find it, then vanishi...
