Sickness spreads throughout the land. The party will need to root out the source of the corruption if they want to save the people of Endale.
My submission to the project. I hope it inspires some fun adventures.
This is a rough sketch with notes for my hex, Okifen Mire. The yellow-green areas are open flooded prairies, the brownish-green areas are islands of higher ground covered in forest, and the plain green areas are lowland forest that is dry or flooded based on time of year.
I'm satisfied with the symbols/texture for the prairie regions, but I need to figure out something to indicate tree cover for the other regions. I'm not totally satisfied with the style of the lakes, either. I also still need to come up with names for the settlements, lakes, and major forks of the river. Suggestions are welcome. The color sketch just used an 8-pack of color pencils, so the palette is limited, but this is just a test.
The final version will use the template shape to be sure it's the correct aspect ratio. I'll do one version with just pen and another version with watercolor pencils.
What license are we publishing under? On the webpage, there’s no mention of licensing.
A lot of community projects fall apart or create drama when there is unclear allocation of rights (especially if the organisers later charge for access, or change to a restrictive license).
On the discord, I suggested explicitly stating that by default, works should published under CC BY-SA 4.0, with artists reserving the copyright of their art.
This means you may redistribute, adapt, translate and remix the text and you may seek commercial gain by doing so, so long as you give the author appropriate credit. If you remix, transform or build upon this material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.
For the organisers: when will the licensing info be updated?
For the community: would you be happy with CC BY-SA 4.0?
This is my hex, the Ever-Autumn Hills! Wanted to post it here before a finish it up. The final version is gonna gave snow and some monsters wandering the tundra. I hope you guys like it!
A giant has taken over a small keep and terrorises the locals in the name of love.
Hex Q-31 by user Taube is today’s featured hex!
The lore for this hex is great because Taube has written in the motivation the “bad guys” instead of just telling us they’re bad.
It gives the players so much more options to role-play in the setting instead of going “they’re bad let’s go kill them.” Now they can reason with the giant, scare away the gnolls with superstitions and have a story that plays out dynamically.
If the players want to kill the giant that ate good sir dorn and maul all the gnolls they also can do so as well.
The hex is thoroughly thought out from deep GM notes to treasure personalized to the hex and story!
As always I’ll include the overview!
Bramker the Giant has taken over Dornhem Keep, eaten Sir Dorn and made a throne out of the bones of his men. While Bramker broods in the ruins, his servants terrorize the local villagers.
Amazing stuff Taube! Thank you!
