The Wilds - Hike on

Heading for town, the party decides to fill in a bit more of the blank space on their maps.

Tile of the Week #31

The latest Tile of the Week entry. This is the second of four quarter-sized geomorphs featuring new, sewer tunnels. This particular tile is a four way crossover connecting a sewer tunnel to a grand hallway.

Each tile is a 100px per five-foot square image, sized for compatibility with Dungeons in Blue geomorphs.

And since you're here looking at sewer-related tiles, you may want to check out the latest sets of Dungeons in Blue, which are all sewer geomorphs: The Sewers One, The Sewers Two, The Sewers Three, and the Sewer Pack Bundle. All told, these sets contain 50+ stinkin' sewer tiles.

The Wilds - Truckin'

Back in known territory (more or less) the party heads for home, though the exact route is a little vague. This is a short turn covering some straight up travel days. No side trips, no exploration. The party has been this way a couple times now, so... short and sweet.

The Wilds - My Kingdom for a Road!

The party has been more or less lost for the last day or so, ever since the deadly encounter with the wisps (poor Jedit). Now they've seen some flying creature, perhaps looking for them, and they really want out of the woods.

Tile of the Week #30

The latest Tile of the Week entry. This week's entry is the first of four quarter-sized geomorphs that include sewer passages. This is a new style of connected passage, and I'll be releasing three complete sets of sewer tiles Soon (TM).

The Wilds - Woodland, Wonderland, Wanderland?

After the night chase, the death of the giant lynx kit Jedit, and most of a day hiking through dense woodland, the party is... not sure where they are. It's a big forest, someone has to get lost in it, right?

The Wilds - Blistered and Sore

With half the party exhausted, there's no choice but to stop and camp. Those most able secure and offload the mules and rub them down, while the others rest. Mordikarr pulls out the dwarf kettle and prepares a batch, trickling a bit into Ava's mouth to try and revive his feathered companion. She seems to respond, and the remaining doses are divided among the rest of the party, first to those most affected by the wisp-whine, then to the most exhausted. Rawon, from his prone position, suggests adding dose to the mules' water barrel to see if it has any effect.

PBE Games Title Update

This week's update is actually short! Amazingly, I'm pretty caught up on new product announcements, so this is will be quick:

• Hacked Marble and Other Moons - two Uncommon Ground stone textures.
• Chaos - a two-color Uncommon Ground hatching pattern.
• Dungeons in Blue - Set Y - a set of four geomorphs, two quadruple-sized, two double-sized.
• The Lost Cellars - a set of three VTT black and white dungeon maps, each with multiple entrances. This set includes player, GM, and handout style maps.
• The One Page Index - a free overview of all One Page tables.

Some previews.

Tile of the Week #29

The latest Tile of the Week entry. I was digging through some old Diablo 3 screenshots, and found several with the map overlay displayed. This was inspired by one of the Cathedral level maps.

The Wilds - Deadly Lights

"We have to get out of here," hisses Raúguey. "Those things are busy. Let's start creeping west, and put some distance between us and them."

"I go first," says Mordikarr, "Move quiet, move careful." The beastmaster slips between the first trees and quickly vanishes from those still trying to blink away the effects of the glowing creatures' whining call.

The Wilds - Dancing Lights

"We have to stop. They're too fast for us. Too close. We're better off together and facing whatever they are as a group than trying to fight and walk." Ohwatoo seems very sure of himself.

Raúguey, who has been pushing for more speed, looks back at the glowing spots flickering between branches and leaves. "Maybe you're right," he sighs. "Let's dig in. He hefts the sword of bees, and looks around for a good spot, but there is little to recommend anything within reach of the party's light sources. Just trees and undergrowth and...

Tile of the Week #28

The latest Tile of the Week entry. This week's crossroads, at first glance, appears to be a set of blocked up passages, but a little investigation shows a twisty passage connecting things up. Why were they blocked? I vote for chuds.

The Wilds - Night Chase

Nothing like a chase scene at night to bring some focus to the party...

The Wilds - Ill-met by Starlight

After finding the corpses, and Maro's weird experience attempting to speak with one of the dead, the party is... freaked out. "We gotta get out of this place," mutters Durego.
