Of Lions and Lambs Hex 18.19 Although now retired, Sister Nadela is surely the most famous of the handful of those Sisters of the Lion who have caught and tamed a lion as their mount. If the tales are true, Nadela was able to easily tame her beast by ducking under it and grasping its testicles...

Here's the new compilation. It includes Shuttered and the area around Shuttered as well as an edited version of chutup's glossary. However, it doesn't include all of the gazillion sub-entries for Shuttered. So what's left to do for the compilation is all of the recent entries from the last few...

As far as the Awesome Meter, if people get to decide stuff based on what their Awesome Meter says and not what the dice say, then EVERYONE should get to use their Awesome Meter, not just the DM. The rules then would all be about whose Awesome Meter to consult for any one particular situation. I...

The sheer massive extent of this is pretty awesome. Which small scale stuff (i.e. stuff that I can cram into single a six mile hex) do you think would work the best for me to steal and jam it into my own setting?

cutup: there is one thing missing in your post ;) Castle Karandur Hex 13.17 Inspired by Korean myth, that picture and Derinkuyu Underground City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As an western outpost of Thring that defies the Lords Sanguine, Castle Karandur is engaged in almost-constant...

The Gems of Stolen Fire Additional information about hex 03.04 The dwarven monks (03.04) are fools for they have been blinded by their greed. The orange gems that they have been gathering from the pool of the firebirds (04.05) and selling are the tears of the being of smoke and fire that they...

I like that style of game as well but I do not feel that D&D is the best game for capturing that style of play. Basically D&D rules (with a few exceptions) don't follow story-logic. If you want to impose story-logic on a D&D game that ends requiring either a much more active DM or much more...

The Air Down There General information about the lands beyond the World's Edge Perhaps you have climbed Mount Scroshia and felt the air grow cold and thin so that you must fight it for breath. We can see from this that air is chained to the earth by the works of ancient elementals and nowhere...

New map: http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/3671/shroudedlandsjune14.png

And the Westmarches (the NW bit that was filled in at the start of this thread) added in as well. At the end of the PDF are a few pages of Shuttered stuff but that hasn't been edited yet: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6z-iUIH4P8aNTJCMWhqVFFVUUE

Some mundane encounters and then more weird ones (some mine some from Santicore, which is cool and free you should go track it down): 13. Lots of tics live here. The PCs might not notice them until a few hours later. 14. Lots of poison ivy here, going around it will take some time. 15. Several...

The Dryad’s Bridge Hex 32.05 Here, not far from Olmstead Keep (31.04) lies a stream that rushes down from the Grey Mountains to pour into the Witchwater. It is spanned by a great fallen tree that is the home of a dryad. The tree just barely hangs to life and its hollow-eyed dryad sustains it by...

What system you thinking of running this setting with chutup? Here's two hexes, I'm working on two more that I'll try to post later today: The Cave of Sinda the Cursed Hex: 22.15 During the day this cave is carefully concealed by a massive boulder that is rolled in front of the entrance. Each...

Yup, that's the Shrouded Lands Also I've just finished adding the Freeholds (except for the most recent post or two) to the compilation. Ooof, my brain hurts. I have a few ideas for hexes flitting around my brain and they'll be up within the next few days...

chutup: here's a google doc of all of the backlog material that hasn't been incorporated into the organized compilation yet. I've saved it as a google doc so it should be fully searchable. The last few weeks I've gotten distressingly-little work done on the compilation due to the triple whammy...

The White Road, The Wailing Road Hex 26.13 Inspired partly by: Man-Eating Wizard Roads | Rolang's Creeping Doom The Sages say that the more anonymous a corpse the more likely it is to be restless in its death. This explains many funeral ceremonies that take place across the lands. But what...

To put my history geek hat on, the Shrouded Lands area is pretty small but there's a lot of different cultures packed in. In the real world you get a lot of cultures packed into a small area when travel is difficult. Think the Caucuses in which there's ten gazillion languages spoken in the area...

More responses about critter classes when I've actually read all the ACKS such but it looks like priests of the Green Lady could be slotted in under the sylvan subclass of the Witch. Oooh and total Shrouded Lands word count has just surpassed The Golden Compass. Now I'm starting to understand...

Wow thanks for so much feedback so fast, I only have a few minutes downtime but I'll use the sapient bear one and to counter nit-pick Alberon WAS married to She Who Waits but he dumped her for the Green Lady and then divorced the Green Lady (he's the Newt Gingrich of gods...). After that the...

Wait a second, because I preordered the PDF (was too late for the kickstarter :( ) I get the rough draft version of the ACKS player's companion free. Bwaaahahaha! Wow, there's a metric shitton of classes here. Most of my work is now done for me except for maybe some variant clerics and the...
