[All Patrons] Sandara Oasis - A Desert City for Any Fantasy RPG

This is a repost. The original PDF file had some issues which I've since corrected. Sorry for the earlier post.

==

Sandara Oasis, a shimmering gem in the heart of the desert, was founded centuries ago by a group of nomads seeking refuge from the scorching sun and unforgiving landscape.

Over time, the small settlement blo...

Hey all!

Below, I've generated some cine...

I've used our friend ChatGPT to come up with some plots, taking John Carpenter movies and combining them with D&D-style monsters and adventures. This is what it came up with. Obviously, I'll change up any non-SRD monsters, but at least...
