Daleton

A village divided, its streets turned to battlegrounds, its shrine defiled, and its people trapped between warlords and wolves

Here’s a challenge for you all. I’m a writer. A prolific one.

So, here’s what’s up: for every like this post gets between now and tomorrow morning, I’ll write a word.

Keep in mind my record is ~17,000.

What do you say?

You’re usually brutally honest, so I wonder, is there any of your adaptations that you *wouldn’t* recommend?

Aetherdrift was a hard sell after its initial drop. But inventory was better then. The lack of other sets in stock I think are driving SM sales, at least for us. I wish Tarkir and EoE would come back in stock.

Still better than Aetherdrift 🤷‍♂️

I mean weeks not months.

… it will cover 37 books (or basically 38). At my current writing pace of 120 pages per week, I’d have the entire nation covered in roughly 61 months.

The goal is to make them usable for drop-in content, or usable as one large campaign sandbox. 🤘

After doing a bit of research into medieval demographics, particularly France.

I worked out that there is:

1 capital
6 hub cities
72 trade towns
480 villages

If I dedicate 384 pages to the capital book, 192 for each hub, 192 per 12 towns, and 192 per 20 villages…

I’m just going to make locations with attached adventures forever. Every time I hit 196 pages, I’ll turn it into a book, so every two weeks or so. 🫡

Just Passing Through forever!

4) Now, ships sink and villagers vanish as Thalmaris collects a “tithe of flesh and blood”

3) Mayor Magnus Stormcaller and allies struck the bargain at the lighthouse, trading prosperity for future blood

2) Its prosperity comes from a secret pact with Thalmaris the Drowned Voice, a sea god demanding sacrifices
