Ancora Bay 05 - Corian Headquarters

The stronger the stronghold, the bolder the infiltration

Welcome to part FIVE of Ancora Bay. As of this post, Ancora Bay is now the largest borough we've released, and we've still got three more releases after this one. The centerpiece of Ancora Bay 05 is—as the title suggests—the massive Corian Headquarters, a citadel that the occupiers will use to weather any siege on Ancora Bay. Bureaucracy and strange magic are balanced in equal measure, and any attempt to infiltrate ...

Ancora Bay 04 - Profligate Cemetery and the Splintered

This place is haunted. Or... if it isn't, it's about to be.

You've finally made it out of the sinking slums! And now you're in... well, you're in the graveyard, and it's a whole mess of a political debacle. Defile a halfling burial ground to build more homes? Fill the bluffs with rich folks' tombs? Or maybe just leave it alone? Either way, someone is going to be pissed! Pirates and necromancers call the cemetery home, so you're bound to meet some colorful characters either way.

Poll: Ancora Bay Variants for the Hills

Hey folks! We're currently working on the maps for the upper hills of Ancora Bay. Given the elevation of this part of the city, it wouldn't make sense for James to make flooded maps for the variants. We've been debating what to do instead, so we figured we'd throw it to you!

Our two primary ideas are:

  • Carnival: Flowers and paint everywhere. The whole city is celebrating. Drinking in the streets, lots of color, lights and streamers and whatnot.
  • War / Destruction: The...

Ancora Bay 03 - The Sinking Slums

If the floods don't get you, the cultists just might

From glitz and glam to the shanty town next door. The Sinking Slums are the dingiest part of Ancora Bay, a ramshackle neighborhood that gets devastated by repeated floods. Here you'll find the downtrodden as well as those dead set on taking advantage of them. Grab some galoshes, because you're going to get wet.

Ancora Bay 02 - The Conservatory and the Consortium

Music and exploitation in equal measure

Welcome back to Ancora Bay! This second release of the mountaintop port explores the varied soundscapes of the city streets, as well as the dark monopoly powers that choke the city's underclass. 

The Borough Guide

Ancora Bay is the metropolitan epicenter of cultural life in Roksunay, a claim to fame best expressed through their hybrid music scenes. Rigid elven estille wyn fills the air, but so too do groovy island bea...

Ancora Bay 01 - The Sinking Mountaintop Port

A seaside metropolis in the wake of destruction

Hello all, and welcome to our third borough: the bustling seaport Ancora Bay! After apocalyptic floods rendered much of the world uninhabitable, those who survived flocked to what few bastions remained. Ancora Bay is the cosmopolitan paragon of the new world, home to cunning pirates, aggressive occupiers, and greedy kleptocrats. Magic, intrigue, and pulp thrills await adventurers who set sail for Ancora Bay.

This is the biggest bor...

LIMINA Seeks Your Input | Borough Bound Poll

While, of course, our resources are limitless, LIMINA must occasionally make difficult decisions about how to prioritize new ventures. We have an ever-expanding need to seek out, study, and chart distant realms. That said, our current dossier of potential new partner boroughs has become unruly, even for our tireless directors and logicians.  It would seem that the only match fo...

Kadhizi 04 - The Lampists and the Observatory

Those who wish to leave and those who wish to stay

Welcome back one final time to Kadhizi! With release 4 of Kadhizi, we look at the final quadrant of the genie city. Deluded cultists plot sabotage, and a reclusive scientist rushes to find an escape from the quickly imploding ewer. Please note that we will have one follow-up post for Kadhizi which will include 1) tokens, 2) the VTT modules, 3) a full version of the PDFs [i.e. stitched together], and ...

Kadhizi 03 - Art, Chance, and Echoes of the Past

A quiet battle rages in the desert sun

Hello all, and welcome back to Kadhizi! This week, we're taking a look at more of the city's leisure, as well as its conflicts. A strange aesthetic divide threatens to tear the community in half, and the undead ghost of a despotic ruler torments otherwise carefree gamblers.

This week, you'll read all about the rival art museums in Kadhizi, one containing treasure Cal Kensington had pillaged from th...

Kadhizi 02 - Merfolk, Drugs, Sports, and Treasure

Life is bizarre in Kadhizi, but the genies have found a way to make it work

Welcome back to Kadhizi, the demiplanar genie city! This week we're taking a look at how the residents of this desert town actually go about living their lives. Getting by in the demiplane isn't easy, but with a little help from the Elixirium, Wild Genie magic, and the always thrilling desert races,  the inhabitants of the ewer are able to eke out a proper existence.

Kadhizi 01 - Cal's Prison

I wish for all evildoers in this temple to be forever trapped in my ewer

Hey everyone!

Today we are very excited to welcome you to our newest borough: Kadhizi! This is an entire city within a genie-trapping pitcher,  a sandy demiplanar prison filled with scores of genies and other unfortunate souls who have become locked inside. Once the party stumbles upon Kadhizi, it's likely already too late. They'll need to use their wits to find a way out of the ewer or perish...
