    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    (Note: The Waker Worms are supposed to be on the other fork of the river, so they don't pollute the waters of the city. But right now they're at 25.20 which is right upstream of the city. Daztur, do you think you could move them to 25.19, which would make more sense? The Glutinous Mudplain...

    Where the Fire-Line Meets the Sea (44.19) Some ancient maps still mark the lines of elemental power that crisscross this world and the other; one of those lines is the line of fire that runs from south to north, passing through the Isle of Sladder (44.17) as it goes. Most of the time...

    Daztur, a while back you were asking about public domain images, and the same topic came up on Google+. I'm just going to dump here all the links that were suggested there. I haven't looked into them very much but maybe they can be of some use to you. Public Domain clip art at WPClipart, top...

    The Castle of the Collector (02.22) Among the Lords Sanguine, perhaps the most insane is the Collector. Formerly he was known by his true name, but a few hundred years ago he developed an obsession with collecting knowledge of his name. First he collected every book, tablet and scroll which...

    OK, here's some more work on the briefings: Regions The Kingswood: A large forest inhabited by mysterious and hostile elves. An elven holt lies at the centre. Dark fairytale flavor. The City of Shuttered Windows: Largest city in the Lands, ancient and labyrinthine. Very slowly sinking into the...

    Those region maps are looking good. I'm thinking it's about time we defined the borders of some of the regions, particularly the Keening Sea, the Kingswood and the World's Edge (since they have very specific borders) and maybe Thring as well. But I know Daztur removed the outline of World's Edge...

    For this post I'm going to make use of some cool random idea generators I found. First, the Bag of Problems from Roles, Rules and Rolls (Roles, Rules, and Rolls) which lets you generate a quest for the PCs. I'm going to make it a quest given by Cliffar Seutonian of Farnsfall Holding, but other...

    Small addendum to my previous post about the gnomes in the walls: The Gnomes of Mazy Hollow (25.14) This rugged mountain country is shunned by most even among the Witch Clans due to its poor soil. This makes it the perfect place to remain unnoticed for the inhabitants of a small stone cottage...

    I really like that idea of the ethereal plane/feywild. The only thing I would be wary about when adapting it to the Shrouded Lands is that it shouldn't become too easy to pop in and out of the ethereal. So far, getting into extradimensional space is a pretty big deal - that's why the City of...

    I also noticed that the entry for Blackhorn's Maze stated that the Burning Lands were previously verdant, until they were scorched by the fire of Tiamat's severed head. But my entry for Jarmond of the Knife said that the Burning Lands had previously been frozen. So... The Cavern Out of Time...

    I think it would be worthwhile to write a short 'How to Contribute' guide which would outline the basic premise of the setting but also encourage newcomers not to worry too much about breaking the rules/canon. Part of the fun has been making up new things to patch the inconsistencies between...

    Hound's Hearth (05.12) A walled town built on a hill in the midst of a dark forest, Hound's Hearth is populated by a unique race of humans who share a distant relationship to the tribesmen of Dogtur (04.08).
