After Hours: Wilderlands Vacation Special - Part 1
Added 2018-02-07 12:01:00 +0000 UTCThe Wilderlands of High Fantasy is billed as the most detailed fantasy setting ever written. I own the boxed set, which contains 2 books (over 500 pages altogether) and 9 double-sided maps, depicting 18 regions. Each map has a hex grid and each hex is numbered. The books largely consists of descriptions of various hexes in each region.
Wouldn't it be amazing to have a vacation in the Wilderlands? There's so much here I couldn't do it in one episode. This month, we will have THREE FULL episodes of After Hours to cover this boxed set. In part 1, Aaron, Jason, and Shaun describe potential vacations in chapter 11, 3, and 5 respectively.

Yeah it often seems to be a thing within older modules and settings.

2018-02-11 21:39:02 +0000 UTCThe little I've read (most recently in the King of Dragon pass game) is good. The guide is also supposed to have great art. So, low hanging fruit for the win.

2018-02-08 01:49:34 +0000 UTCMost detailed? Perhaps. However, the most comprehensive history, mythology, and setting is the 800 pages that weighs 13 pounds that is the Guide to Glorantha <a href="https://www.chaosium.com/the-guide-to-glorantha-slipcase-set/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.chaosium.com/the-guide-to-glorantha-slipcase-set/</a> Glorantha for the next after hours deep dive? Or possible an episode of RPPR or actual play? One setting, three RPG rule sets available - Heroquest, Rune Quest, and eventually 13th age. Heroquest is a lite Robin Laws design runequest is probably the opposite of lite, and 13th age in the middle weight.
