Starting in 2019, I have been running a homebrew D&D 5th edition campaign called “Apogee”. It’s an urban campaign run in the city of Apogee. To help with the setting, I often hand out little documents. Apogee has two newspapers, so the players get a semi-regular update of the world and their exploits.

I make these mostly with LaTeX and mostly under extreme time constraints, so reader beware.

• Apogee Player’s Guide
• Local map
• Regional map
• Apogee Inquirer, the local newspaper
  • Vol 1, No 1, 2 Pharast 1563
  • Vol 1, No 2, 9 Pharast 1563
  • Vol 1, No 3, 18 Pharast 1563
  • Vol 1, No 4, 22 Pharast 1563
  • Vol 1, No 5, 26 Pharast 1563
  • Vol 1, No 6, 29 Pharast 1563
  • Vol 1, No 7, 4 Gozran 1563
• The Scoop!, the local tabloid rag
  • 7 Pharast 1563
  • 3 Gozran 1563
• Note from Undercover operative
• Note from a rival
  • Note 1
  • Note 2
• Records found after a warehouse raid
  • Blackboard
  • Evidence summary
  • Letter from crime boss to underlings
  • Some plans for arms dealing
• An advance from the mysterious Lady Wildflower
• Guestlist for the Swan Soiree

Other things I’ve made:

• A soundboard for the PCs stumbling across a Mushroom God. I cut out samples from the Deus Ex Machina scene from Matrix Revolutions. I spooked my players when I hit them with a booming “WHAT DO YOU WANT”.
