Surface Structures of the Chagrinspire Wastes

These are structures to populate your hexes. I recommend generating the terrain around the mountain of Chargrinspire and generating some surface structures for each one. Populate them with hazards, monsters and various peoples. WIll be encounter tables hext and subterranean locations under the wastelands. I will make a simple map for GMs to use to make a hexcrawl sandbox of their own.

Tech even most basic people will adapt and use glass for flint and use metal if they can find it. Typical technology of a fantasy setting is available outside the region but many have brought it into the area and even built in more modern styles like castles. Most outsiders will be amazed by magical technology. alchemists had various dangerous fuels and and radient crystals they used to power machines that produced toxic waste. Some of this fuel is hard to find now making some of the most advanced vehicles and weapons to no longer work/

I plan to make a bunch of dungeons for this too.

I recommend anything by Gus L and Anomylous Subsurface Environment adventures to stick here. This setting being really the mountain and surrounds could be on Planet Psychon or dumped on campaign setting just slightly out of reach of civilization.

Freaks of the Chargrinspire Cursed Lands

These are tables to generate interesting mutant freaks. Use as a template for a gang or roll for each freak in a gang who somehow have stuck together. They might make a flashy mercenary team.

The longer people live here the more run down and worse they become. Not being covered in mud makes you stand out as new. Some groups of these mostly humanoids conform to type. Others vary more with influences like mutations or maybe mixes of multiple peoples. Perhaps two tribes united to survive. Some tribes are all escaped slaves who became a family while prisoners.

Usually, two mud-encrusted demoralised gangs meet and rolls are made for detecting encounters and reactions. Quite often one or both sides attack. One wins often by numbers or luck. Often both sides back off. Reactions here are cursed and often leaders use their CHA mod in either direction on the reaction table just specify as a plus or a minus. 

Morale is extra important here as may will flee instead of all die. Gunfire alone intimidates lesser disciplined enemies. Morale is also good to see if your henchmen behave honourably with prisoners or captured treasure.

Flatspur and Shankheim - Home Bases for Chagrinspire

 

Flatspur and Shankheim

These are the two closest settlements to Gharginspire. Both terminate trade routes and inhabitants of each dislike the other. Lots of my Murder Hobo shanty town posts work for Shankheim. Some of my other village tables work better for Flatspure. My hellish portal village might fit in this region.

This village begun as a place for scrappers to trade and rest before taking goods to civilisation. About thirty years ago refugee farmers from the Empire civil war came and began growing crops here. They domesticated the mudhogs and have made the village grow. There is a scrapyard and a well-established market for traders to come selling civilisations luxuries for relics of the old world. Locals are neutral but recognise the law and light cults help keep away local evil. The village is walled with scrap and rubble and rusty iron slabs,

Shankheim
A seedy village operated by a crime guild here to scavenge ancient scraps of metal and other relics. They also work with local bandits and criminals who prey on scavengers based outside Shankheim. The crime guild is a branch of a gang operating through Auldwood to the west and the north. The guild also welcome cults who pay well for their depraved requirements. The local scavengers breed giant rats for food andthey don't require much labour. As villagers are all trained thieves they perform well at their looting. The people of Flatspur are considered weaklings. Most victors notice the seedy nature of Shankheim and use the Ouroborus Inn or they leave. There is no open scrapyard like Flatspur, all scrap goes into the guild hall for study and shipped away by the merchants affiliated with the guild. There is also no defensive walls as the Guildmaster has made deals with monster factions.

Chagrinspire

 

Chagrinspire
Mud, Misery & Madness
The Chagrinspire is a mountain famous for its dark storm clouds purple lightning and strange auroras. Long ago a dark band of alchemists began work on a doomsday device. As the various peoples of the world learned of this they united and amassed the largest armies ever known. All alignments and peoples who did not wish the universe destroyed were united. Orcs and elves were side by side with dwarves, trolls, goblins and humans. Necromancers and priests of good even cooperated and failed together. The war raged for years in a race to stop the doomsday device. Millions died. The lands around the mountain are choked in ruins and mud and remains of dead. Many of the inhabited villages and towns in outlying areas were once waypoints for massive armies that poured to their doom.

There was no evil mastermind or evil god or demon responsible. A dark school of alchemists united with evil gnomes from the Underland and began their master plan to destroy the universe, gods and all to place their chosen beyond the reach of death and the flaws of matter forever. The material of the multiverse and the souls of every being in it were to be fuel for the doomsday creation of a great black metal sphere that scholars today know little of. The greatest wonderworkers of magic and even the gods could not stop this. Nobody quite knows what happened to end the threat of Chagrinspire. Some say the loss of resources and lives on both sides destroyed everyone. Others believe the lives lost were part of a sacrifice and the great black sphere is still awaiting its destiny.

The lands for hundreds of miles around the Chagrinspire are still scarred and wretched to this day. People and other beings still live in the region still shunned by the civilised peoples. Many humanoids live in foul places where humans cannot. This was so long ago most have no knowledge of it. Such lore is forbidden in many lands and the script of the dark alchemists is a sign of witchcraft in many lands.

But as memories fade some scraps of magic have been found on the magic black markets. local villages like Flatspur and Shankheim have become bases for looters gathering remains buried in mud and shattered ruins. Most only plunder the surrounding outposts and battlefields but some have even begun climbing and searching the mountain again despite brooding weather and dangers.

Basics of the setting
This is a post-apocalyptic world made to put the merely grim and dark fantasy worlds to shame. It is a squalid and filthy land of dispair that sucks the life from surrounding lands. The common folk are ignorant and indifferent to the history of the land. They just want to live free of famine, plague and mutations.

From Flatspur and Shankheim desperate people are exploring the muddy ancient battlefields looking for scrap metal and magic to sell. Many people here were banished exiles and outcasts from civilisation. It's the same for many monsters here but they cope better with the horrific landscape of torment.

The ancients were more advanced and among the ruins and battlefields are remains of machines and weapons strange to modern peoples. As the war was so long and destructive the technology and magic became increasingly backward and the last battles were fought with clubs and stones while the first had vast iron land leviathans, blackpowder, germ bombs and hellfire. Flying machines and automatons of the doomsday cult killed millions. Some of this technology could be recovered and operated and possibly replicated. Outside the region of Chagrinspire such arts and sciences are shunned as blasphemy.

Will explorers find wealth and glory or could they reset the countdown to the nullification of all reality? Or will they die in a ditch with all the nameless corpses before them.

Exilon Urban Encounters

Patreon Update
new 3fold series of dungeon enhancing kits - the first one is monster generators inspired by Gauntlet. I'm also working through books bit at a time now as more manageable. So this current work is for my Exilon setting and the current update is 123 pages. Will be adding a chapter or two a month and adding to bit by bit instead of trying to make huge books like I did early on all at once.

Other Stuff
My band in Japan now so no 1-2 music sessions a week. Was in an Adelaide Fringe show which was fist time on stage for 7 years or something. Have some more game-writing gigs and some frog-raising 3folds for non-gaming to do. Met lots of comedians and smart ppl. Lots of gaming in Jan but it's fading a bit now for reasons like finding time, medical and other drama. Having another crack at online gaming, but in part, gaming is to get away from consoles and hang with friends.

I have stupidly started a new campaign setting. After playing Turnip28 I'm inspired to make a grungy fantasy environment full of mud, madness, mutants, misery and anachronous tech. Also, a bit inspired by Gus L ruined old magic tech stuff. I have put my unused tablet in bed so I am using my tables her on my tablet to generate a mega-dungeon using the setting. Looking for a name not done already and and ot a slur. More soon on the new setting.

For record in my game witchcraft is unlawful magic especially mind control or harming others. Witches could be innocent victims, angry vindictive people with a spell and short temper or part of a sinister coven of evil.
