Quick note: one big reason I want to do some small stuff is chutup said on his blog about this project "perhaps too complex to actually use." And if that's true for chutup (who wrote a lot of the best content for this setting) that's probably really really true for a lot of newbies seeing the...

OK, I think that Sanglorian’s Gore write-up is basically on the right track when it comes to changing the format of the main compilation and we can get to work on that next month once some format stuff gets ironed out. However, I really really want to also create some bite-sized bits of this...

OK, I've been mucking about in Word and Libreoffice looking at how to set up links and cross references. From what I can tell with Word I can enter in bookmarks and make a cross reference that tells me the page of the book mark but when I change what page the bookmark is on the references don't...

Sanglorian: The main reason I’m thinking gazetteers is to get people over “gaak! It’s longer than Moby Dick! I don’t have time to read THAT, I’ll NEVER use all of that in my campaign!” shock because, well, we’re going to hit Moby Dick word count soon. Something like, say, a 64-page doc on an...

And one more hex for today. Oooooh, Abulafia has some great stuff as usual, stole some bits for this hex Here's some if people want to see some treasure into the setting: http://www.random-generator.com/index.php?title=Swords http://www.random-generator.com/index.php?title=Treasure Also a...

So basically three branching ideas: -Improving the organization of the compilation. -A DM-side document written in more traditional and concise hexcrawl format using Land of Nod or Carcosa as a format guide, either of the whole damn setting or of a specific region. While each individual hex...

The Keep of Dreanach Hex 15.11 What! No carnivorous apes! Must do something about that… Pedantic redundant reminder: lordship in Thring generally goes from father to son in-law, not father to son. There are exceptions, but not here… Lady Anghart was raised as the heiress of this rundown...

New map: http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4279/march10map.png Note that the word doc I already posted is so insanely massive because a lot of the art is big pictures shrunk down to fit into the columns, the PDF condenses them down but the doc doesn't. As for stuff about how to organize our...

Non-standard fonts employed in the word doc: "Trinigan FG" for chapter headings and "Post Antiqua BE" for hex titles. http://www.fontspace.com/fontgrube/trinigan-fg http://www.abstractfonts.com/search/post%20antiqua (I think, there's a bunch of Post Antiqua fonts, I forget which ones exactly...

The Thief-Lord of the Fourth Castle Hex 18.11 Inspiration: lots of bits and pieces from various things stuck together (including my very first D&D character from when I was in 5th grade), the ring trick is from Oglaf.com again (again NSFW!!!). The people here on the northern fringe of Thring...

It'd probably be easier to use Conan d20 as a base and then add bits and pieces of 3.*ed bit by bit than trying to overlay Conan on EVERYTHING in 3.*ed since there's just so much stuff it'd be an incredible headache.

Sure makes sense, what we'll have to do eventually is strip all of the information that doesn't pertain to just that specific hex (like general cultural/species information) and dump it into a set of appendixes in the back. That way if you want to know about kobolds you can read the kobold entry...

OK, here's what I'm planning to do next. Like I said in the last post I'm a bit burned out on editing stuff and doing art so I want to spend a while just writing stuff for the setting until we get to, say, Moby Dick length (frighteningly-enough at our current rate, especially with Triskaideka...

For a long time now I’ve been spending more time hacking away at the compilation than on writing new hexes. So it feels nice to get back to writing up some new stuff. Here’s a pretty big dump of new content. With a Mouth Full of Mud Additional information about Hex 29.14 It shouldn’t come...

Yup, the whole "the City will one day sink into the mud but NOT TODAY!" works wonderfully. But I guess I'm enough of a history geek that I love the aspect of the City that they don't really have "police" or "tax collectors" and even the idea of a "government" is a bit strange for them, instead...

I'm loving the new hexes, especially the engineers one since it fits in beautifully with how I imagine Shuttered society not having a clear division between the oublic and private spheres as well as providing great adventure hooks, I'd love to run a campaign with the PCs all being engineers...

And new map: http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/4141/march3map.png I'll have the next version of the compilation (with a huge amount of new art, over a hundred new pieces I think haven't been counting, up in a day or two).

I've been going through the doc adding quite a bit of art, the doc is up to 316 pages due to a lot more art taking up a lot more space and all written content except for stuff on page 52 has been added in. Just flipping through the pages seeing all the art is really beautiful, so much good...

Green Iron Mushrooms Hex 34.10 Green iron mushrooms make the finest rations in the world. When you dry them they pack tight and travel light and you can live on nothing but them and water for weeks on end. Because of this they are a valuable cash crop for the farmers that live near here on the...
