[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 5298556, member: 386"] Here are the DM's notes for a hex in my game. [sblock] 04.07 RESOURCE - PLAINS - LEVEL 2 [i]This has the hex number, the randomly-generated contents, the terrain, and the level[/i] Settlement of 79 people based around a Farm, Demon/devil trapped beneath Links to Other Areas: none Contents: Monster; Trap; Trick; Something Strange [i]More randomly generated stuff[/i] [i]This is me making sense of the random rolls[/i] The village of Fairstocks. A chain devil lives in a dungeon beneath this town. It carries out executions and such, controlled by a mystic amulet that one of the town's elders has. The current leader of this town is a two-fisted warrior woman named Shirley Peltier, a refugee from another time. She is a human javelin dancer (who also has a revolver). She deposed the old ruler because he was abusing his power; she isn't too keen on the laws, though the three "lawmen" (human guards) who follow Erathis are always very strict. The town has an oppressive, brooding feel; people don't talk much and scurry about their business. The laws are strict and strictly enforced. There is only one tavern, the Grey Den, run by a woman named Aubra. The devil lives in a place called Iblis Grotto, a small cave marked with runes of Justice. Monster: A nest of 2 ankhegs with 4 ankheg broodlings has moved into the valley and is eating the sheep and cows. Trap: The dungeon is trapped; anyone who enters must recite some legal jargon or take 3d6+3 damage and be pushed out of the cave. Trick: The amulet that supposedly controls the kyton has no actual power. The kyton's pact is to serve the legitimate ruler of the town in exchange for prisoners to torture. Usually what happens is the ruler gets power-hungry and loses legitimacy, and the kyton devours this person. The kyton believes it is teaching the people the curse of power. [/sblock] It's important to note that there are lots of these in the game world; the players select one area to focus on and get a Quest based on it. Here are the posts detailing the actual play: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/278034-d-d-4th-edition-hack-fiction-first-playtest-2.html#post5238769[/url] (1st session) [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/278034-d-d-4th-edition-hack-fiction-first-playtest-2.html#post5247289[/url] (2nd session) [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/278034-d-d-4th-edition-hack-fiction-first-playtest-3.html#post5271744[/url] (3rd session) [/QUOTE]
