Black Flag Role Playing games have released their first two Tales of the Valiant books for digital Purchase and hardback books are coming. They have released both the Player’s Guide and the Monster Vault. This will allow gamers to get into the game and start role-playing.
Tales of the Valiant is based on the 5e as it is currently and updates and changes things. Some have stated Tales of the Valiant is to D&D 5e what Pathfinder did for D&D 3.5. That is high praise. Pathfinder too what they found was great and adapted to make it what they thought was better. They have a large and vocal fanbase. Can Tales of the Valiant do something similar for 5e or take it further? Only time will tell but I am extremely interested in Black Flag Role Playing games and Tales of the Valiant in particular.
Check out the information about both the Player’s Guide and the Monster’s Vault below.
Player’s Guide
Start your own tale in an infinite universe of high fantasy adventure with the Player’s Guide! Within these pages, a trove of knowledge lies waiting for the valiant to claim it!
- Make your own unique, legendary hero with the new Lineage and Heritage system.
- Select Talents and Backgrounds that make your hero stand apart.
- Master improved spellcasting and martial abilities to ensure every hero stands tall in a fight!
- Explore new downtime, exploration, and social encounter rules to expand your game beyond the dungeon.
The Player’s Guide is a streamlined, 5E-compatible ruleset with unique mechanics to increase both risk and reward for adventurous players of all stripes!
Monster Vault
The Monster Vault contains over 400 monsters and all the guidance you need as a game master to run encounters with those monsters! Inside, you’ll find:
- Classic fantasy monsters, such as ogres, dragons, water elementals, and giants.
- New monsters suitable for any fantasy or science fantasy world, such as ambush hags, virtuoso liches,
- fey guardians, mechadrons, and robots.
- New terrors from the ever-corrupting Void, such as voidlings, star crows, crimson jellies, and the mighty void dragon.
The Monster Vault contains all the information a GM needs to create encounters with monsters, including monster roles and tactics, guidelines for modifying monsters to fit your campaign, optional rules for Doom points, and rules for characters wanting to harvest monsters for unique crafting and spell components.

I am considering switching from D&D 5e and DND Beyond to Tales of the Valiant and using Demiplane Nexus.
Stay Geeky!
