Started working on a new, small, adventure. Maybe for the next Wyrd Morava. Vršún the Dragon and the Cliffs.

Map is my own and the Dragon the work of my partner.

Workshopping the hexwar. Still too hard to read most of the warband numbers.

Update on the map question, I’m just putting them next to each other in one larger regional map. I’ll take a look at some of the hex packs and then it’s time to soloroleplay a revolution

a wacky map, with action and icons

a simpler map, with more natural colors

Which of these two maps looks more appealing for a TTRPG campaign to you? Answer below.

If they did version 2 maybe they could give horizontal hexes another try

Ah I haven’t come across that issue yet. Definitely having mixed results with hex kit though, will post about it soon

It does seems like their help link is broken, but in terms of expansions I see several options

a little fantasy map

I'm taking a look at Hexkit in an upcoming blog post, hopefully we can make something cool. Here's a freebie, just messing around (they're all freebies)

Excellent spooky gnomes! Gnomes are omnivorous in the world of things under the bed

Three towers in the desert

The gnome fortress of Gnorsh. They elect leaders with a voting system known as 'Gnomestones'

Turns out the bar was lower than I thought, but people still get mad when the gnomes duck.

What are Gnomestones? In Celebration of the Blog Carnival on Magic Rocks

Yes I’m in the process of launching my first one, let’s talk!

I’m not sure if Rocky Bilboa is a hobbit, but he’s definitely a halfling.

Half a human, half a gnome, all halfling. Throws his rock. Rocky Bilboa.

We made it to the Crystal Island in @bradkerr.net ‘s The Singing Stones by Session 10. It’s abundantly clear that the adventure hinges on the magical axe’s role as the leader of an all-crystal barbershop quartet.

The players also loved the woolly cave pigs.

Listen if you share an unnuanced opinion, don’t be mad if I categorize it within the overarching framework.

incremental progress is hard let’s just play tower defense games from 2010 until this all blows over

My apologies to @bradkerr.net but Bitzinia from the adorable gnome couple in The Singing Stones was hit by a blood demon’s NAT20 and the crit table said her stomach ruptured and she failed to save and died in front of Belga and Michael the panther. Belga’s on an edgy vengeance arc now.

Magic rocks!? Did someone say gnomestone? Good idea @wobblerocket.com

Previously on Gnomestones plays @bradkerr.net’s The Singing Stones, our heroes encounter Otto at The Pale Ship. This time on Gnomestones, our heroes blaze a trail, evade the wyvern, and drink mountain berry wine. Next time on Gnomestones, blood bags attack the camp.

that's basically all I need! I'm going to add in some turkish folklore too

I haven't heard of this one, but it looks promising!

That's a good idea, Dream Shrine is already at the top of my list

The wilds of central Zenobia in hexmap form

Ah my Valley of the Singing Stones game is about to grow past the original module arc into a regional homebrew campaign. Stress. Any brights ideas to put in the sandbox? We have rival sword orders and a city ruled by four and twenty guildmasters.
