Grudges & Grudge Magic

Grudges & Grudge Magic is a powerful supplement for The Red Tree of Grudges adventure arc, introducing an emotionally fueled system of dark spellcasting perfect for DnD 2024 or any dark fantasy TTRPG campaign.

Every grudge has a cost—and this PDF ensures those costs matter in both combat and roleplay. Ideal for players who want to add rich, emotional storytelling to their magic system or GMs seeking new tools for narrative tension. Use this alongside The Red Tree of Grudges or drop it into any campaign with lingering vendettas and corrupted memories.
