PBE Games - Year End Wrapup

It's the last day of 2017 and time for a final update on PBE Games releases. December saw ten new products hit the virtual shelves, starting with six new Dungeons in Blue Complexes.

Complexes Eight Preview
  • Complexes Four - A traditional dungeon complex with two entrances. Perhaps it's a secret way to cross an impassable mountain ridge.
  • Complexes Five - A mix of dungeon rooms and chambers and natural caverns. This dungeon has a single fortified entrance.
  • Complexes Six - These vast caverns feature altars, statues, and magic circles. Perhaps they seal away creatures or powers best left where they are.
  • Complexes Seven - This grand hall should be familiar to anyone who reads my Colony PBEM game.
  • Complexes Eight - A small temple connects to a  collection of caves that lead to a sizeable underground lake.
  • Complexes Nine - This map depicts a mine complex and also features prominently in my Colony PBEM game.

As usual, these products are available in discount bundle form. Triple Pack #2 includes Complexes Four to Six, and Triple Pack #3 contains Complexes Seven to Nine.

The final products for 2017 are two Hexed Places:

  • The Sharp Hills are a patchwork of dry and rugged terrain in the middle of an area of scrubby rolling hills and green plains. The Red River, which takes its name from its iron-stained water, splits the region into roughly equal halves. Prospectors seek gold, silver, and gems in these barren lands, but often find death instead.
  • Bitterblack Forest is a treacherous stretch of mountainous forest that offers a convenient shortcut between two trade routes. Rangers maintain a camp for travelers on the edge of the wood, but the ruin of Broken Ridge Tower serves as a grim reminder of the dangers hidden in the densely forested region. Despite rumors of a lost mine full of gold and silver, few dare to leave the road and risk the wrath of the powerful summoner said to live in the depths of Bitterblack Forest.
These two Hexed Places round out Hexed Places Five Pack #2,  which also contains Crescent Lake, Denshi Ferry, and the Sand Coast, products released earlier this year. If you don't know what Hexed Places are, the free Compendium provides an overview of these overland sandbox mini-settings and includes a full map key and a brief summary of each product.

With that, 2017 comes to a close for PBE Games. As always, thanks for taking the time to read this update. Have a safe and happy 2018!
