Wilds - Night Light

With the trail lost, the group pauses to consider. With the sun low in the sky, the first order of business is a camp site. Continuing northwest-ish, they eventually find a small dell with a tiny spring-fed pool nearby. Leaving the others to prepare camp, Rawon, Mordikarr, and Raúguey head out to search for the trail, though the time they have left before the sun sets is growing short.

Tile of the Week #22

The latest Tile of the Week entry. Yeah, sometimes the GM is just a jerk. A twisty maze of little passages, or is it a maze of twisty passages? Definitely want fog of war on this one.

The Wilds - Move Along!

The raid on the nest tower was a success, but Mordikarr and his animal buddies are nervous. The trail a group of thirteen plus four mules leaves is wide and obvious. Distance is the party's best ally. Unfortunately the terrain is challenging, and the trail, well, the trail has a mind of its own...

PBE Games and the DTRPG Christmas in July Sale

If you're a tabletop gamer, you probably know about the DriveThruRPG summer sale. Now that the first rush of server-destroying traffic is past, I figure it's time to mention that all PBE Games individual products are included in the sale. What's that include? Here's a brief recap:

Dungeons in Blue geomorphs are classic-blue style dungeon tiles designed for use with virtual tabletops. There are hundreds of tiles in the various sets, and more on the way.
Each One Page contains a twenty-entry table of fantasy RPG goodness: treasures, strange objects, odd locations, traps, or powers.
The Uncommon Ground series provides textures for your fantasy cartography, image creation, or traditional game artwork. Each contains a single seamless, 2k by 2k resolution texture rendered in four different color schemes, and all are licensed for personal or commercial use.

Of course there's more: virtual tabletop maps, including the recently released Black Sage Mine and Traitor's Cavern; the Deadly Blows critical hits tables; the Tome of Names (V1, V2, and V3); and Items of Power (also V1, V2, and V3).

Note: during the sale, bundle deals aren't really deals. The mechanics of bundles make adjusting all the product pricing there time-intensive.

Wilds - Nest Robbers

The party checks out the tower ruin, hoping for a payoff, but some party members are less enthusiastic...

Tile of the Week #21 - Five Minutes!

The latest Tile of the Week entry. I didn't notice I was out of scheduled posts, so had to do something quick. This took about five minutes to sketch out, and another ten or so to treat for blueness. Enjoy!
