Galder's Gazetteer

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:


This major 5e supplement for advanced players & GMs expands the game by adding new actions, condtions, and martial options. Integrated with the expanded rules there are a host of new player options, a GM toolkit, and two one-shot adventures in this 192pg full-color book.

 

The wizard Galder has traveled to many, many worlds. Along his journeys he has taken notes on the mysterious and fantastic things he's encountered.

A while back, a young guy named Laurence made a post on online. Laurence shared that he had a rare form of cancer and only had weeks to live. He wanted something to be remembered by, and asked if there was any way his character could be added to the game’s lore.

With kindness, a whole group of the community got together and, while they couldn’t make it “official”, they said they would be honored to include his character as a NPC in their home games, to exist in their worlds. To keep living in their stories.

But this book goes a step further. Galder’s Gazetteer describes his journeys through all those worlds. This expansion to 5e is framed as Galder’s notes on how things are done differently across the multiverse including:

  • Expanded actions, conditions, and martial options
  • 3 new Classes, 8 variant classes, and 35 archetypes
  • 20 ancestries, 11 feats, and 40 new spells
  • Monster templates, environments, traps, curses and other challenges 
  • Two one-shot adventures for 5th and a 15th level

For a Cause

100% of proceeds from the sales of this book are being donated to the Cancer Research Institute. You can read more about Laurence’s story and what you can do to support youth early diagnosis at laurencescampaign.blog

There's lots of neat stuff in this book (I especially like the Arcane Assassin wizard subclass) but some aspects are kind of confusing. What is the purpose of the Arcane Arbitration spell, for instance? The only use case I can think of where you'd use it over Counterspell is if you were wary of Counterspell being Counterspelled.

any chance this will be input into a VTT like Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, or, Foundry?

I think I saw this being referenced on a reddit thread quite some time back.
Does this include variants on Galder's Tower, or anything of a similar nature?

Yes, specifically I know it has Galder's Icy Tower, which is a higher level and more offense/utility spell than the exploration/utility of Galder's Tower.

Well, I've bought it, but I don't see this Icy Tower you mentioned.

Only spells relating to rooms and buildings in here I can see are Displaced Room, Seward's Similar Structure, and that's it, though I do like the Chariot of Discreet Travel a lot.

This whole November update has been an absolute distaster of omnishambles! DT support came back to me saying that they fixed the files, but when I go in my library I now only see a file titled [GG_Digital_20210420.XXX] (same as the original one) and the two files that were uploaded the last few days ([GG_digital_20211110.pdf] and [GG_digital_20211112.pdf]) are now no longer to be seen. Worse, downloading the former just results in a file titled [Galder's_Gazetteer.pdf] without any indication if this the supposed updated version or not.

@zipperon D: Is there a list of changes between the prior version and the supposed current update available somewhere (and no, I'm not installing or making an account on Discord or whatever for that) so that one can check if the supposed DT-fixed file is indeed the updated version or not (despite the listed name)...?

I'm really sorry for that frustration. It was indeed a disaster of omnishambles :(

There should be a stable version up for download now. The major changes are: the Rebel got 2 more conviction points, but lost a skill proficiency. The V Sorcerer got it's SP progression adjusted. And the Jumper feat got a complete redesign.

Thank you! :D

The print version is on its way! The files are finished, it just takes time for Lighting Press to approve the printed versions. Should be ready for the holidays!

I currently see two files listed in my library: 'GG_Digital_20210420.pdf' and 'full-digital.pdf'. Which is supposed to be the November 10 updated file; the latter one (which incidentally also results in an error message when I try to download it)? It would really be helpful if publishers/creators learned to put version numbers in their file names and/or on the title pages of their PDFs...

I'm assuming the latter, since the former is marked with an April date. I also get an error when trying to download the new version.

Well, at least there's some comfort in knowing I ain't the only one having a download problem. :) And also I know ZD isn't the the only publisher/creator on here (unfortunately enough) for whom proper version numbering is apparently a totally foreign and alien concept, but it makes it all the more annoying to discuss the issue with the DT staff when one does not know which is the actual updated file...

Sorry for the confusion - it should have displayed the new file with the date in the name. I just re-uploaded it. Hopefully this will help!

First and foremost, thanks to upload a properly versioned filename document. Much appreciated! :) Unfortunately, and I hate to be a bad news bearer, I now see two new files listed named respectively [GG_digital_20211110.pdf] and [GG_digital_20211112.pdf], but both result in the same error as before when trying to download... Seems something is going wrong when the DT servers are trying to prepare/watermark the file.

I am a stage IV cancer patient myself and I'm still battling. Thank you for doing this! The intro from his "mum" is so touching (someone was cutting onions while I read it). I just got my hardcopy and even got the PDF too. I really enjoy third-party content and this is one of the best products ever. As good as anything Wizards has put together. We can never have too many options, well a situation like 2nd edition is untenable, and this should be in the library of every gamer. Even if it was average, I would still be saying this. It's way better than average. Of course I'm biased; however, check out all the positive YouTube reviews.

This community is amazing for doing this! Please guys/gals grab this book so we can eradicate this horrible disease. Gaming is one of the few hobbies that I can still do while having cancer and getting treatment. I'm Dming a game on Roll20 tonight and playing in one tomorrow. XXX cancer! Take care everyone!

Hey there! I got a quick question about Variant Sorcerer (pg 82). It says that you lose the Sorcerer's Spellcasting and Sorcerous Restoration feature. Instead of this, Sorcerer gets Innate Casting, Wellspring, etc. However, it doesn't say you lose Font of Magic, the 2nd level Sorcerer feature that gives sorcery points. Do you still get extra sorcery points for each sorcerer level in addition to those provided by Innate Magic? Or is the Font of Magic feature also lost when taking Variant Sorcerer?

Hi Christopher, thanks for getting the book! Hope you're enjoying it!

Font of Magic should be listed in the features you no longer get. The intention is you only get the SP listed in the table. (Yes, we remembered Font of Magic when making the table!) It's already been marked for errata in our doc, and there's quite a bit of discussion about it in our Discord if you want to check it out: https://discord.gg/RpeTfqhc

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
