[KS] The S'rulyan Vault

[VengerSatanis]

I love those old school, light blue and white (A)D&D maps on the inside of module covers. Last month, I thought to myself... wouldn't it be cool to have my very own custom-made map that looked like it came right out of 1983, but gigantic so that it took up over half the gaming table?

I gave the idea a couple of weeks to brew in my imagination while I was discharging my prior KS responsibilities (Girls Gone Rogue). In the interim, I came up with an idea for making every voyage into the S'rulyan Vault new and exciting, allowing, for instance, the possibility for secret doors even if none are marked upon the map. Yes, the dropbox map files will also come with a PDF of random tables for appointing and populating your mega-dungeon.

Here is the link to my latest KS - The S'rulyan Vault - a gigantic, old school mega-dungeon map and corresponding PDF: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1575519826/the-srulyan-vault

The following is an excerpt from The S'rulyan Vault Kickstarter.

A Brief History of The S’rulyan Vault

For as long as anyone living can remember, the world was full of men and the darker, stranger forms of life remained at the farthest edges of it. But the scrolls contained within the many temples of Tyr’Urden tell us that this was not always so.

Demonic things came in the night to feed upon mortal souls, ripping and tearing at humanity’s soft, exposed belly. Our people lived in fear. Like children, man was afraid of the dark and what lay beyond the walls of his cities.

Then, one day, a champion came. He slayed many of the evil ones, the creatures who looked like walking serpents. Eventually, his mighty deeds became so numerous that thousands followed him into battle against the forces of evil. Man had both the numbers and the will to push back against these malevolent beings until his cities and forests were relatively free of hell-spawn.

Snake-men were the most powerful humanoid creatures, as they knew the secrets of blackest sorcery, having made a pact with the Demon Lord known as S’rul. Under his satanic tutelage, the snake-men became powerful enough to slaughter the armies of mankind. Before long, the entire race of snake-men were known as the Sect of S’rulyan… (S’rulyan meaning the great and terrible wisdom of S’rul).

At the height of their serpentine reign, a subterranean domain was constructed on the outskirts of the human realm. It became an outpost from where the snake-men continually raided – taking weapons, gold, slaves, and sorcerous objects from man’s cities. This vault was the crowning glory of S’rul and his loathsome worshipers.
