Have you heard about veinscrawl?

I think that there is a bit of an "oh that's OSR I can stop paying attention" thing going on and it's a bit of a shame. I've mentioned Yoon-Suin several times but few people seem to be willing to check it out.

I have not until now. Thanks. I will definitely check these out. Anything that inspires me and can add to the description and immersion of the world I DM in, is worth my time.
Cheers for the pointers.

Veinscrawls is essentially a campaign to be run using veins of the earth, in "hexcrawl" style - there is no overarching plot, that will emerge through play. Veins of the Earth can be a bit daunting to use, and I think that veinscrawl makes it more "achievable"
Yoon Suin is a campaign setting set in a bizarre pseudo-india setting. I've reviewed it here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?479643-Yoon-Suin

What I'm after essentially is to bring as much Veins of the Earth feel into my next 5th ed sessions as possible. I know that mechanics-wise that's too much of a big ask but the descriptions and writing are pure gold.
Yoon Suin sounds fascinating as well. I will take a look. Cheers.

Is derro calculus different because of their insanity? If we're worried about their derivatives, should we also be worried about their integrals as well?

I think the big problem with 5e and Veins of the Earth is the ample amounts of food and especially light that low level magic can provide. It wrecks the the setting.
Yoon Suin has no such issues. You might want to limit long-distance teleportation, but apart from that it works quite well in 5e - I've been running it for a year and a half

Veins of the Earth is amazing but no actual statistics per se.
