About Ballad of the Fae
Ballad of the Fae is a small independent publisher devoted to fantasy, adventure, and tabletop role-playing games. Founded by illustrator and writer Fey Kinoko, we create imaginative and detailed fantasy content that adds wonder and depth to the worlds you play in. Especially for Dungeons & Dragons.
For over five years, Fey has written and illustrated original homebrew material, building settings, characters, and mechanics to help inspire collaborative storytelling. Ballad of the Fae is more than just a source of content though. It’s a creative space dedicated to uplifting independent artists within the TTRPG community.
We believe games should be as magical and diverse as the people who play them. Whether through new lore, beautiful art, or inspiring game systems. Our mission is to help players and GMs tell stories that matter.
Our Current Projects
Ballad of the Fae is proud to announce the launch of its first Expandable Card Game, Shards of the Artisan, and is also developing a new campaign setting for both 5E and Daggerheart, titled Brambleveil.
Shards of the Artisan
Shards of the Artisan is a beautifully illustrated tactical card game featuring entirely hand-drawn art by 40 real artists. (No AI generated content here!)
Players choose a Persona, assemble a deck of Characters, Allies, and Trait cards, then battle in strategic duels using dice rolls, stat boosts, and clever combos. The last player with cards in their deck is the winner!
​
With 5 starter decks available at launch, and themed expansions planned for the future, this card game is as unique as the creatives behind it.
Brambleveil: The First Ballad
Brambleveil is Fey Kinoko’s upcoming homebrew sourcebook for Dungeons & Dragons and Daggerheart. A dark and mysterious reimagining of the Feywild that introduces a more diverse and enchanting take on the plane of the fairies.
