Beneath porch steps, inside hollow logs, along crowded alleyways, and throughout fields and forests, small lives unfold filled with danger, curiosity, courage, and wonder. Rats scavenge storm drains, foxes prowl the edges of farmland, cats stalk moonlit rooftops, and mice build fragile homes in the hidden spaces humans rarely notice. Though tiny compared to the towering world around them, these animals are no less capable of bravery, loyalty, ambition, or adventure. Whether your story is whimsical, perilous, heartfelt, or strange, this supplement invites you to see fantasy through the eyes of the creatures living just beyond the edges of human attention.
Have you ever wanted to go on a fantasy adventure as a friendly critter?
Or maybe a not-so-friendly neighborhood critter?
Now you can easily incorporate animal adventurers into your modern, fantasy, or sci-fi setting alongside humans!
This variant reskins the 9 available 5.5E species (2024) with specific animals, transforming heroic adventurers into ordinary creatures struggling to survive in a world dominated by humans. This variant is different from the popular, cozy Humblewood collection because it does not create new animal-themed humanoids. If you are already familiar with the rules and species of 5E, it is very easy to incorporate Vermin & Vagabonds into your setting.
