Magic crap dug up near Chagrinspire





































I'm making a hex map of the region so you can locate villages and roll and fill in the terrain types and encounters for each terrain type. I'll probably be working on Patreon stuff the rest of the month - an update on the Exilon book and a 3fold on dungeon add-ons.

Will be a d100 subterranean stuff and some small dungeons for beginners.
Possibly might occasionally work on a megadungeon here.
Plan to revise my automaton class for golems and revising my robots plus my alchemist class which might be a means to include poisons and other stuff

I will be doing a bunch of mini dungeons for the wastes before the mega-nega dungeon of Chagrinspire. You could probably use all kinds of ruin maps from history, modern, medieval or ancient. Just make it a ruin with mud and garbage and some remnants of who built it in the apocalypse war or occupied it since. 

My Dungeon vs Special forces game might have some tables to steal and items that would fit here

Fuel and cartridge-based ammo is rare so might be devastating to have an automatic weapon but unlikely to use often
