Village Backdrop: Vaagwol
Added 2016-01-08 09:32:00 +0000 UTChttp://www.ragingswan.com/village-backdrop-vaagwol/
A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Compatible GM’s Resource by Greg Marks
The tall, dreary walls of Vaagwol nestle on the marshy edge of the Twyll River delta. Barely seen through the ever-present fog, the Hungry Dead continually claw at the village's stout stones; scratching and moaning a constant reminder to those trapped inside of the doom lingering outside their walls. Further walls divide the village inside to prevent the spread of the Craving. The residents scurry through narrow lanes, afraid to venture too close to fellow citizens, lest they be infected with the plague that turns them into the same shambling monsters that threaten from without.
Village Backdrops are short, richly detailed supplements that each present a single village ready to insert into almost any home campaign. Perfect for use as a waystop on the road to adventure, as an adventure site themselves or as a PC’s home, Village Backdrop present the details so the busy GM can focus on crafting exciting, compelling adventures.
This product is a Dual Format PDF. The downloadable ZIP file contains two versions, one optimised for printing and use on a normal computer and one optimised for use on a mobile device such as an iPad.
Thank You!
As always, thanks very much for your support and generosity. I think Greg has done an epic job with Vaagwol and I'm delighted I can pay him a decent wage for an exceptional job.
Even better, Greg has written a follow up village linked to Vaagwol which will be out in March. I've been pondering this kind of approach for some time; a small number of villages linked together to form a micro-campaign setting. Borderlands and suchlike always need extra detail and settlements, after all! Richard Green is working on a similar project for Deksport and its environs and of course the Duchy of Ashlar and Gloamhold is also in the works. What do you think? Does this kind of approach work for you or do you prefer completely standalone villages?
In any event, I hope you enjoy Vaagwol and that you have a super weekend!
