Some seriously open world shenanigans going on here! I liked the format you used to describe each location, perhaps my only suggestion would be to add some situations that players can get thrown into at each of them and then we can take off from there!
I enjoyed the read quite a bit but due to the density of text and size , I thought there wasn't a limit to display font weight but I had toncopy the text and paste it in a word foundry with dark mode to get through the last pages . Please do a revamped version with clearer hierarchy abd more pages so I can read it without missing out on the sharp spot illustrations!
Enjoyed the writing quite a bit, very flavorful! I also liked the multitude of factions and locations.
Thank you for the kind words! At this point I have to admit that I might have aimed for a bit too much, so I prioritised the interesting factor of it. It should inspire, it should draw you in, and it should make you imagine more.
From the Ashes contains a rich tapestry of factions fighting for a scrap of land. Clearly this Orc Gentleman has a strong grasp of Geopolitics. Good for the geography nerds!
You bring me the highest of compliments, good one, thank you! If the location with its living components is interesting, that should be enough for GMs to get inspired and end up creating much more from the little this adventure provide. That's what I hope at least!
Love a good hex crawl :)
I fell in love with them not that long ago. It certainly let's me feel like I'm creating a living world. :)
