Shadowdark July homebrew challenge: Summer!

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

For those of who like homebrew -- or are wanting to try it -- I was thinking a monthly theme might help inspire folks to make a monster, a spell, a magic item, a class, an ancestry, a random table, an encounter, an adventure or something else.

So, let's start it with the most obvious theme for July: summer.

Interpret that any way you want and feel free to ask questions if you're new to homebrewing.

Also, all skill levels and experience welcomed. This is just for fun.

I've already got my idea and hope to post it in the next few days.

OK, so I'm going to try and be ambitious here, with something of an Oasis module. Perhaps I crash and burn but I'll try and do some work on it every day.

Two feuding bards?

Well, I am now!

I'll probably turn this into another running thread of daily (hopefully) updates.

Rough work tonight on:

Locations
Factions
NPCs
Encounter Tables

Put a few more ideas down, but was out pretty much as soon as work ended, till 9.

I'll get a bunch done tomorrow though.

Roughed up a hexmap with some scrawlings I am going to call pictures representative of each hex.

Wrote up the basics of the 10 factions, an intro bit, and have the basic 'plot' roughed in.

Tomorrow I hope to finish the factions, and basic encounter tables.

Maybe even the NPCs.
