Free Map: The Realms of Beleriand and Halloween Patreon Adventure (Patreon)

Hi all!

I’m back in the office and having taken some time off to get married and go on my honeymoon and I have lots to catch you up!

Free Map: Beleriand

First things first, what else was I going to do on a 10 hour flight other than draw a map of Beleriand!?

I mean if being sandwiched in the middle seat after wholly failing to leverage the fact that it was honeymoon to score a free upgrade failed, what else could I do other than put my own spin on Tolkien’s famous lost land?

Some of you may know that I had an almost complete version of this map at the start of the year before my Ipad died and I lost it, so I'm glad to finally have the chance to go back and redo it.

What is going on in October?

As many of you will know, our theme for this month is Vampires,  having tied for the top spot in the recent poll and narrowly winning in a run off vote we held on Discord last week.

So not only will we be creating lots of vampire inspired maps but we will also be writing a halloween themed adventure over on our Discord server.

We have already thrown some ideas around so find more info below as well as WIPs of some of the maps as they stand.

Patreon Halloween Adventure: Writers Wanted

Before I get stuck into the proposed adventure, if you want to get involved in helping write it then jump over to our Discord server and give us a shout in Writer’s Corner.

Proposed Adventure Framework 

• Rejoice, there is going to be a wedding! The great vampire bloodlines of House Acedia and House Serajar are to be bound in unholy matrimony between their respective heirs. The first such union between rival families in the history of Noctis.

• Such a potential shift in the balance of power in the region is sure to attach the attention of many interested parties

• House Acedia - Lords of Ravenfall and the groom's family are famously reclusive. Such a wedding offers a unique opportunity to gain access to Castle Ravenfall and the secrets it contains.

• One such secret is rumoured to be The Crimson Chalice, an ancient artefact said to contain the blood of the legendary Vampire King Amun Drakarla.

• House Serajar, the bride’s family, are playing their own cynical game, using the wedding as a ruse to destroy a rival family and take the chalice for their own dark purposes.

• Players will investigate the City of Ravenfall and learn of; townsfolk being abducted by thugs called The Baggers, rumours of a Vampire Hunter, dark experiments and mutilated corpses. 

• They must also find a way into the castle, do they:

  • Bluff their way in as guests

  • Sneak in through a hidden passage only The Baggers know about

  • Join a vampire’s entourage

  • Or perhaps some other hair brained scheme.

    • Act One: Investigation

      • Maps

        • City of Ravenfall  - Production 

        • Raven Fall Docks - Production

  • Having gained entrance to the castle the player witness the betrayal of House Seajar as they move against their hosts

None of the above is set in stone however, it just gives us a jumping off point to try and sculpt a fun adventure around in time for the spooky season.

As I say, if you want to be involved in crafting this adventure, whether by writing a whole section or just offering up a simple encounter we would love to have your input over on Discord.

I think that is everything for now but keep an eye out for our first big release on Thursday where we will be unleashing the first three maps on you :D
