Who's able to solve this orcish dilemma?

Traveler! A half-orc named Garug has formed a strange band of misfits and calls it the Orc-ganization. Its members come from all races. Most of them are of multicultural heritage too. They have been discriminated against because of their background or the circumstances of their birth and want to do something about it.

The place between planes is known as the Zones of Convergence. Meddling with them is a dangerous affair!

Traveler! The fabric of space and time that divides the planes of existence is a field of study that baffles and confounds scholars of all kinds and races. From elvish astronomers to draconic stargazers. They dabble into forbidden knowledge that eludes understanding. An ancient covenant of elves built an underground research facility dedicated to the study of what they called Zones of Convergence. The places where the Material Plane becomes adjacent to the Shadow Realm and the Woodlands.

583 Zones of Convergence (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 583 Zones of Convergence. It is necessary to have Photoshop or a compatible app to use it. Inside you will find that it is all white. That is the uppermost layer, I only use it to make the file preview smaller in size. Once you remove that uppermost layer you'll see the illustration. (it's just one click)

Most of the illustration elements are properly named and arranged in folders in the layer area. Some assets like textures or smart objects hav...

Introductory Level 1 town - Pink Apple Village!

Traveler! Big cities and towns start small. It is impossible for a metropolis to appear from one night to the other. It takes decades, perhaps centuries, for cities to come to be. Pink Apple Village was born after the war. The moat that protected a fort became a manor. Duke Yvesen lives there and takes care of the town, which now has a population of 300 people. A little than a decade ago, an extension of the stone walls that cover the manor was finished. That is how Pink Church Square was cre...

One-Page-Dungeon - Tentacles! - System Neutral

Traveler! Here's an awesome one-page dungeon. It's a self-contained adventure where everything you need fits a single page. I make them system neutral so they can be easily ported to any system. It shouldn't be much trouble to include it in any medieval setting.

Few things in the earthly realm unnerve an individual more than the calamities that inhabit the depths of the ocean. Hulking, algae-covered colossi meander unseen in places where no human could ever reach. Their writhing, slimy ...

581 The Forsaken Ruins

Traveler! The world is full of uncharted places and locations. Some of them hide the last remnants of bygone societies or peoples. The Seri dynasty is one of those. They ruled the land thousands of years ago but their rulership ended quickly after horrible wars. An underground mausoleum near Cattailton is possibly the only remnant of their people. The villagers ignore this because they shun the place ever since some explorers got lost. However, the crypt has become a problem and a threat to t...
