Two Ennies nominations. A dozen five-star reviews. ”One of the best D20 books that I have seen on the market.” In 2004, Blue Devil Games published a supplement that would end up as the first and last word in poisons for Dungeons & Dragons. It should come as no surprise, then, that Poisoncraft is the first product in One Bad Egg’s Hard Boiled Ideas™ line, designed for use in your Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition games. (Learn more about Hard Boiled Ideas™)

Just as 4th Edition represents a whole new approach to the game, the Hard-Boiled version of Poisoncraft will represent a whole new approach to poisons, from the dreaded syrallax, the shadowy darkblade, the immeasurable horror of black rain. They and all their dark friends are back.

In keeping with the OBE mission, the creatures and creations of Poisoncraft will include clear instructions for incorporation in your 4e game, explicit thoughts about the design process so you can make them your own, and gripping story ideas that will spur your imagination.

In the coming weeks, we’ll release the Codex Venenorum, featuring dozens of unique poisons and rules for creating poisons, handling poisons, harvesting raw materials, and much more. Also in keeping with the OBE mission, we’re open to your advice and input. Tell us what you’d like to see, what you like, and—most of all—what would frighten you to the core.
