Villages - Clayton Moor

[ukgpublishing]

Clayton Moor, a village of some 800 souls lies in a fertile valley along the main caravan route. Fully detailed, this product provides an instant location from which to base adventures, including 14 detailed and mapped buildings and businesses, 41 fully detailed NPC’s ranging from the Lord of Clayton Moor to General Store Keeper.

The overall village is presented in a 37 page pdf and Browser based, fully navigable version for interactive use. In addition to the basic maps there are 25mm scale floorplans of both the Inn and the Ruins, in both colour and greyscale.

Clayton Moor is presented under the Open Gaming License and is fully v3.5 compatible. The first of this line, we believe that the Villages range will prove invaluable to GM’s requiring a quick location from which to base an adventure or simply provide a place to stay when the player are travelling.

Clayton Moor

It can be tough to depict a good village in a game. There are a lot of NPCs, shops, and other places they PCs might go to and preparing for everything is very hard. In the past there have been some great products that deal with the NPCs. There have been few that deal with the town though. This product gives the town, the building and some NPCs in a nice complete package.

Villages: Clayton Moor is a couple of things in one. It is a PDF and a program. The products comes in a zip file a bit over ten megs and all unzipped everything is about twelve megs. The map can be printed out and there is a nice black and white version for the players as a handout. But the bulk of this product is the interactive map that goes on the DM’s computer.

The village has a nice overview and map. Then there are over a dozen buildings that can be clicked on. The building is enlarged and a description is given. NPCs are stated up and described. The NPCs are hyperlinked and listed also together in alphabetic order. There are also printable maps of some of the places. These maps are given both in color and black and white. Also each is given as lit and unlit. Anyone familiar with UKG Publishing’s other products will recognize the style and high quality of these maps.

The product has a lot going for it but the village really should have been fully detailed. The place is not that big with only a few dozen more places on the map that would need to be described, mapped out, and detailed. The printable maps though look really good and will work well with counters and miniatures. The style is the same as their other products so those will allow people who want more to add on and expand.
