Sounds good Daztur - get well soon! I've taken a shot at reorganising the Barrier Range - let me know what you folks think.

The Rhyme of the Sanguine Lords From the blood of the Tarrasque, Antic and old, Sipped twelve humble butchers, Clever and cold. These butchers adopted, Though from afar, Superstitions of Bergolast, Rich and bizarre. “Kiss the feet of beggars,” The Bergo crones shrieked. “When you live by the...

Fair enough. The reason I suggest it is that I think it would allow you to compile the Appendix A: Brief Hex Descriptions list a lot more easily, while being just as easy to prepare as the Appendix A.

I'd actually suggest putting those hex summaries in a spreadsheet. It should be pretty easy to sort them - sorted by name, by number, by region, by region then number, etc. - and export them in the format that you like. It'll take a bit more time now, but save you time in the future I think.

[1] I've added the book to Appendix N. [2] If you post the DOCX for version 2.0, I'll make a start on a few of the shorter regions. [...] I agree with the other things you said. EDIT: Oh, I forgot to say: rather than start on the shorter regions, why not start on Thring and the Barrier...

Sounds good! I've been jotting down some stuff for a Witch Clan generator. So far I've written down some names, some spells, some quirks and some types of relationship with other clans if you folks want to chip in. If you're after more public domain art, you could do worse than the 20,000...

Hmm, another thought just struck me - what about deliberately making incomplete gazetteers to reach out to new contributors? If every gazetteer had three or four unfilled hexes, there'd be a low entry point for contributors: there's three or four hexes just waiting to be filled, and here's a...

(Writing this furtively at work, so I'll be quick too!) [1] We could have a general regional random encounter table and then for the self-contained hexes their own random encounter tables. Another thought: what about a table that you roll different dice for depending on the hex? For example...

[1] Sounds good – I'll let you know if I think of an alternative approach. [2] Oh, I think your font and format are good. I just went with the easiest formatting options for me to knock together a document quickly. That said, I think there's one thing you should definitely do and that's use...

The Last Fiendslayer (Jahur) When Shuttered's windows closed, a loosely-knit league of fiendslayers were trapped in the Shrouded Lands. These hunters specialised in the slaying of demons and devils, but some considered their methods suspect – they would graft pieces of fiends to their own...

I've cut up and reorganised The Hills of Gore to give a rough outline of how I imagine the compilation being reworked. As you can see, some content gets pushed to the front of the region description, other content gets put in appendices at the back of the book, and the rest stays in hex...

Woops, good catch! I've corrected that now ... although I'd like to know what the state of packmaking is in the Shrouded Lands.

Hey folks, Daztur: Thanks for that! And boy, what a lot of maps. I vote for option one, dissecting the work. However, I wouldn't always put that stuff in the appendix. Some stuff could be put in a general section at the start of the description of a region. Maybe I use game supplements...

Phew! You've added almost 100 hexes since I last updated the appendices. They should be current now, however. Daztur, would you mind uploading the Word document that you base the PDF upon up online somewhere? I'd like to fiddle around with it a bit in the future. I was also wondering if you've...

I remember thinking that the Moon Drovers were particularly nifty. I think death cheese is a great idea, just the kind of fantasy that I like.

Okay, I've updated the appendices with all the new hexes. We've created a terrific resource here, and I love the detail and depth to the setting. However, it's getting so large I worry that it's unwieldy in its current form. What I'd like to do is go through the hexes and cut the parts that are...

I'd add Dungeon World as another game that's sapped interest in D&D Next. Certainly among the people I would playtest D&D Next with, we're just playing Dungeon World instead. I agree with the other posters that 13th Age (and Dungeon World) only capture a tiny fraction of D&D's market. However...

I've actually been planning to run DW set in the Shrouded Lands. I think it would make a great fit.

Sounds like an interesting project! Unfortunately, the only sci-fi I really engage with is pulp/space opera like Star Wars and Princess of Mars. I do think that would make a good base for a hexcrawl ... maybe I'll start a spin off myself in a year or two :P

I found two images on Wikimedia Commons that could illustrate the Kingswood: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chetwood.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elf_markwoman_by_Kitty.png More silhouettes: Hex 40.20: TELE - M - Hippo Hex 08.16: TELE - SVG - M - Bee Hex 06.05 or 14.02...
