Barkane RPG: The RPG You Play With Your Dog

Venture into the rotting heart of a dying world, master the grim arts of necrotic transmutation, and harness the perilous magic born from the collapse of ancient arcane empires.

Dungeons & Dragons 5E: Arcana Unleashed – Deadfall is a dark fantasy campaign setting and rules expansion designed for 5th Edition players and Dungeon Masters. Published in a standard hardcover edition, this supplement expands upon the Arcana Unleashed ecosystem by exploring the catastrophic aftermath of unchecked magic. Set against regions shattered by magical fallout, decaying leylines, and primordial blights, Deadfall introduces high-stakes survival mechanics, grim character options, and lethal arcane anomalies tailored for gritty, high-challenge campaigns.

The book serves as both a player resource and an atmospheric toolkit for Dungeon Masters. Players can tap into corrupted magical conduits, wield dark soul-binding rituals, and choose subclasses forged in the remnants of magical disaster. For DMs, the volume details modular corruption mechanics, rules for traversing irradiated dead-magic zones and necrotic wastelands, and a comprehensive bestiary of twisted aberrations, blighted constructs, and spectral remnants haunting the ruins of fallen civilizations.

Character Options and Arcane Features:

• Dark & Corrupted Subclasses: Gritty archetypes designed around necrotic manipulation, soul-binding, entropic blood magic, and salvage-based arcane engineering.
• Deadfall Magic & Desolation Spells: A new grimoire of unstable spells, forbidden necromantic rites, and high-risk incantations that draw upon ambient magical decay.
• Decay & Corruption Mechanics: Modular subsystem rules for tracking magical radiation, soul blight, and mutated leyline surges that warp both spellcasters and their environments.
• Wasteland Survival & Arcane Scavenging: Systems for harvesting residual essence from arcane ruins, crafting makeshift foci, and purifying contaminated provisions.
