Touchstones for me were American mob movies like The Godfather, Goodfellas, and Gangs of New York.

Me too! 😆

I’ve actually never read Blades but it’s on my list!

Thanks for the catch! I will fix it shortly!

Late to the party, is there a list of covers that are available?

Over the weekend, images of a laser-printed version of the zine were shared with me and I think they look pretty good! (Images attached with their permission).

That said, I’m happy to provide a printer-friendly version if there’s interest. Also, I plan on getting some printed, at some point, so let me know, in here, if you’d like a printer-friendly version and if you’d be interested in a physical copy.

Game on!

Not YET! But it’s on my list. I have a couple of other things to finish first and then I’ll be back to it so stay tuned!

Thanks for the kind words!

Appreciate it! Glad you liked it!

Thanks! That’s the hope! 😁

Awesome! It’s a fun item with a bit of flavor. I could imagine it being the secret tool of a tavern-keeper who always seems to serve wine even when the rest of the neighborhood has run dry…

Just joined! When are the next batch of assigned titles dropping?

Glad you like it!

You're welcome, glad you liked it! Quest hooks can absolutely help overcoming analysis paralysis, good call!

That's awesome, kudos!

I'd like to claim this area (part of Map 11). Just so I don't overextend to start, I'll begin with the circled area but the plan is to extend outwards to eventually cover this area.

Good to know, thanks!

Great post! One thing that you didn't mention but I'd love to see compared to the project approach is using the "new post" option which isn't tied to a particular project but to you directly.

aha! The doc is formatted digest (half a landscape letter page size) so each spread should equate to one letter page for printing.

Done!

sure. I’ll generate a version in spreads. And add it.

Sorry it took me a bit to get back to this but it should be fixed now! (Also, added a desert hex!)

Thanks, will correct that! Desert and grasslands are next on my list!

Yep, it’s a great template for a starting hub-type location. 👍

The Realm of the Mountain King was my entry in the Hexcrawloween Game Jam! Currently available in a mostly complete mini-setting “ashcan” edition.

The kingdom ruled by the current King Highmount is a rugged landscape of strongholds carved into the mountainsides that look down over farmlands that huddle against the Tumbledown River. At its furthest reaches, to the northeast, fertile fields spread out from Greenmarch Castle. The village of Hawfeld marks the far extent of the realm.

Zine Contents

• a fully-keyed 20 hex realm divided into six regions
• wandering creature table for each region
• rumors and tales
• a simple reputation system for gaining renown in the kingdom
• ratlings, piglings, spiderkin, and other creatures
• B/X and OSE compatible format

A free demo is available. 

Thanks for putting this together! If you could figure out a way to get images and then the JSON outputs that would open up using something like QGIS with your maps, it would be amazing.

Are you familiar with Azgaar’s fantasy map generator? Check out their export options— that’s what I would aim for. At minimum, I would add some image exports (JPEG, PNG, etc).

Great work— this looks awesome! Are there ways to export the maps out of the app?

Got it!

I'll take you up on that! Let me get some thoughts together and I'll figure out a way to DM you!

Love the look! I've been thinking about making something like this, myself, although I do not have your artistic skills!

Happy to be here! 🎃

I set up a placeholder project for my jam entry. I'm streaming my work process live as I do it and posting the videos to the project's dev logs, if anyone is interested. Good luck to everyone with their creations! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

I have been, historically, a 6-mile hex guy but I’ve recently converted to 3-mile hexes! I like the way it maps to a minimum settlement size, roughly.

Do Anything D6 Wilderness, a rules module for my Do Anything D6 system is live, PWYW.

Do Anything D6 is a system-agnostic TTRPG supplement for resolving tasks. This supplement adds support for wilderness-specific activities, such as those that might arise in a hexcrawl or other wilderness adventure.

Hey, just wanted to drop a line to mention that I enjoyed the Exploits advancement and I mentioned it on my stream today.

It's the same link because it's one project. The first file is free and this one is unlocked if you spend a buck or more. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

Unlike sub-classes, Prestige Classes weren’t tied to a particular base class. Instead, a character had to meet certain requirements. For example: to become an Arcane Archer, a character had to be an elf or half elf and meet a minimum to-hit bonus. They didn’t have to be a fighter. I can’t remember if druids began as a sub-class of cleric or if there was an independent class version in Dragon magazine but the game’s approach to some of the extended classes had some twists and turns before they settled down.

Good point! My particular inspiration goes in further back than that— the paladin from Supplement 1: Greyhawk! 😁 You might notice that my two example Prestige Classes are that original paladin class split in twain! 💪
