Shadowdark Arcane Library Western Reaches KS

She’s in the latest Between Two Cairns podcast right now. I bet they talk about the project.

I missed out on something like a dozen of their podcasts when they apparently changed hosting providers. Which is good news, I guess, since now I have a ton of episodes from the winter to catch up on.

I assume the Western Reaches books will include connective tissue.

This is exactly what she's going for!

I'm a big fan of this podcast. The banter is amusing, without getting boring. And I enjoy the reviews, which often steer me to products I hadn't heard of.

Yeah, definitely one of the best around and one of the few where I don't want them to cut the banter. The Bert and Ernie routine with Yochai and Brad is great, as well as the insightful adventure reviews.

I'm really curious about the Western Reaches books versus the Cursed Scrolls that will apparently contain overlapping information. I have no doubt that Kelsey can kill it with creating a setting, but the areas we know about from the Cursed Scrolls don't, at the moment, feel like they fit into a cohesive whole. I assume the Western Reaches books will include connective tissue.

Most of her settings so far have been lightly sketched and supplemented by the random tables in the core books. It'll be interesting to see if she takes the same approach with the Reaches (similar to how Yoon-Suin works) or if she goes for a more detailed treatment.

Connective tissue is the precise term she used on the Discord.

Yes.

The question, as per the second paragraph, is what kind it will be.

Nothing specific so far. It'll kind of have to include bigger maps and political stuff at a minimum. I trust her completely on this, I'm not worried.

This being Shadowdark, somewhere in there is a funny allusion to the connective tissue of rotting undead, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

I wouldn't, it'll come back stinky.
