Call for Suggestions - Appendices for Just Passing Through: 12 Towns

Heya folks!

I'm done with the towns for the second Just Passing Through. Just need to fill the appendix now. In the last book, I did a bunch of random NPCs and buildings. I've got a few more pages to fill this time, so I'm wondering what other sort of tables and stuff you'd like to see.

Let me know in the comments below!

[All Patrons] Just Passing Through: 12 Mid-Sized Towns - Crimson Bay

Crimson Bay is a coastal town built on a rocky, windswept coastline teeming with dangerous sea creatures. The town's harbor is home to a giant, sentient sea serpent that demands a toll for safe passage. Recently, a fleet of pirate ships led by Captain Mordekai  Rotbeard seized control of the bay, blockading the town and demanding tribute from its inhabitants. Under  Rotbeard’s rule, the once-thriving fishing industry has suffered. With trade routes stifled, the local economy is in...

FoundryVTT Issues and DMDave Team Priorities

Hey all,

Just giving you a heads-up about where we're at fixing the FoundryVTT stuff, as well as everything else that's related to it.

Last year, Foundry updated to a v10 which created all sorts of headaches for Foundry. Originally, the person we had dealing with these issues had it handled, but then she left in October or so. We had someone come on part-time, and we'd hoped to get a few fixed, but it turned out the issue was much larger than we imagined. 

Something got...

[Gold/High Priests+] Badge Quest Complete Rulebook Beta

Hey all,

We're still waiting on final art for this, but Badge Quest's words are done and ready for you to be read. You'll notice that there's still some stock art in the book as well as a few placeholders. Those will get changed (likely sometime next week or by the end of the month), but for now wait 'til Rick finishes up the rest of the interior art.

We're Fixing the FoundryVTT Issues

Hey all,

Sorry this took so long to get around to, but we're finally digging through the FoundryVTT packs and figuring out what the problem was. Something happened in our dropbox, which caused all the files to change their original destinations, making the URLs we were posting not work correctly. I've made this priority #1 to get it fixed, and we hope to have it all squared away by the end of the week.

I've already adjusted the links for packs #53 - #70, so those should be working...

Thanks for the suggestions in the request post from earlier. I've taken your ideas and condensed them here to a poll to get a broader perspective of what folks want to see.

I know, at the very least, you can expect two more Just Passing Through books, one for towns and another for cities. I'm also nearly done with the Helkara monster book and should have a one-shot OSR-style adventure coming your way.

Below are the ideas you all came up with. Vote for ...
