Crabwell - Everything Bundle

Crabwell is a city whose history, laws, and architecture are all deeply intertwined. The city's underlying legal code is established by decree after decree echoing out from the city's central tower, a mysterious building from which an omniscient voice spouts new laws each evening. Everything about Crabwell centers on the (immortal?) Entac, who has led the city through thousands of years of ups and downs. In many ways, Crabwell is your prototypical Renaissance era fantasy town. It has massive wa...

Thestwick - Everything Bundle

Muc-Mhara - Everything Bundle

Welcome to Muc-Mhara, the enchanted city at the bottom of the Yartharen Sea. After the fall of the great titan of the air Scamhóga, things started to get… pretty weird.

Muc-Mhara is a great city to use for any underwater adventures. Our convenient lore means that your players can enjoy the ocean floor without worrying about crushing pressure or lac...

Gruuk Jit'Jit - Everything Bundle

Welcome to Gruuk Jit'Jit, the goblin miracle! After an arcane mishap launched a chunk of the elven city of Niirisarnel into the sky, the goblins wrested control of the flying island and claimed it as their territory. A burning fuel elemental at the city's center thrusts Gruuk Jit'Jit across the skies of the realm while goblins exercise their freedom to the fullest. Small jets, tethered balloons, and diesel-powered propellers keep the city aloft even as an eventual collapse seems unavoidable. Gr...

Sootwyn Barrow - The Everything Bundle

You've been stricken with the Sootwyn Stain, a curse that afflicts any who cross through the Unsanguine Gate into the haunted town. Those with the stain are technically immortal, but they are gradually sapped of their lifeforce. Victims slowly lose their skin, their muscles, their humanity, and their soul. Eventually, all that's left is a skeletal wretch in the employ of a wicked sorceress. Until then, however, you cannot die. Can you use that strange magical twist to find a way to undo your cur...

Zahuatil Ruins - Everything Bundle

It's the archaeological find of the century, a massive temple complex in the middle of the rainforest, seemingly untouched for hundreds of years. Adventurers, scholars, and entrepreneurs are flocking to these newly discovered ruins, hoping to find glory, publish research, and earn some gold on the way. There's just one problem: the ruins are fake, and every one at the base camp is about to die. Zahuatil Ruins is a Mesoamerican-inspired setting, part dungeon crawl, part elaborate prank, 100% ant...

Ithivellia - Everything Bundle

At the heart of the fae Principality, there is an idyllic clearing. From their thrones on the majestic Dwynlei Terrace, six immortal archfae lord over their sycophants, living lives of blissful reverie. Or… there were six archfae. Now there are five, and a mysterious fungal overgrowth encroaches ever closer on the capital. Everything was going fine in Ithivellia until an eternity of delight was suddenly ruined. Ithivellia is the quintessential fae setting, comprising royal politics, magical s...

Yllmourne - Everything Bundle

The only thing more profitable than the start of a war is the end of one, and newfound peace means the independent port town of Yllmourne is poised to become a massive trade haven. Already, speculators and enterprising merchants have transformed the sleepy harbor into a boom town. As money flows into Yllmourne, so too does crime, disease, political machinations, and dark magical secrets. Can the free city survive this radical transition? Yllmourne is a dreary port town tabletop setting. This E...

Brimspur - Everything Bundle

Devils, demons, fallen angels, wraiths, witches, and bogeymen rarely get along. They each occupy their own underworld domains, and when a villainous sort from some other hell intrudes, violence and mayhem are sure to follow. On rare occasions, however, vile creatures may decide they need to have a comparatively peaceful chat with one another on neutral ground. When they do, they head to Brimspur, the dusty town at the crossroads between hells. This Weird West setting is one part hell, one part ...

The LIMINARC - Everything Bundle

When the Limitless Interdimensional Messengers Instantiated Near and Afar need to deliver a letter or package, they typically just teleport to the destination.

Elseridge Academy - Everything Bundle

The dozens of bandits in his employ are about to case the city, unleash an unprecedented crime spree, and then flee to some other town to begin again.

Pelgrut Hideaway is a system-agnostic bandit camp setting. This Ever...

Wresyck Junction - Everything Bundle

Wresyck Junction is part corporate headquarters, part labyrinthine factory complex, and part social epicenter for the emerging gazz music counterculture. Beneath the district, tunnels transporting the “harmless” gasses used in spark vial production double as hubs for criminal activity—the very same vapors can be repurposed to brew narcotics that are increasingly popular among both the city’s avant-garde trendsetters as well as the district’s down and out. In the gazz clubs topside, Wre...

Megacity District Request Poll

Hello all! We're hard at work on our next borough (that is: the one we'll be releasing post-Ruvatello), but after that we'll be returning to the megacity of Svarnahelm. Our plan is to gradually create the entire metropolis, but we want you to decide which district we'll tackle next. We've already released Wresyck Junction, the jazzy district that creates the city's power, but there are still 11 districts to go. Pl...

Ruvatello 01 - Secret Paradise

Where elites vacation in heavenly luxury

Greetings all, and welcome to our newest borough! Ruvatello is a luxury resort hidden within a powerful illusion up in otherwise uninhabited foothills.

Just enjoy the warm sun, bright moonlight, and refreshing waters. Grab a cocktail and bask in unmatched ...

Poll: Do you want more Hauthell content?

Broadly, the options are:

• 1. We take the existing Hauthell content and package it up for a Definitive Edition rel...
