Xeric Sands

Xeric Sands is a desert depthcrawl in the style of Emmy Allen's the Gardens of Ynn and the Stygian Library. It is statted for Into the Odd and similar "new school renaissance" (NSR) adventure games, but should be functional with other dnd-ish systems. It is somewhere between fantasy and science-fantasy, and can be easily tilted either way.

This project is in active development! I will be releasing updates to this page as I finish each section. The price will increase as well, so get in early. :)

What's in it?

So far it includes:

• 35 Locations
  
• 35 Details
• in plain text and tables, but with bookmarks.

Next up are ~45 desert critters and folks to encounter. I'm still deciding between one big drop in May, or two drops in April and May (day vs. night encounters?).

By the end of the year, this will be a complete depthcrawl setting!

Can I see a preview?

The first pages of each section are added as a sample below. It shows the current formatting style.

You can also find the content for free on my mastodon and on my blog, but the posts won't receive further editing (nor are they collected in order). This project is part of a daily posting practice, similar to "Dungeon23."
