Tom Cartos Monthly Round Up - November 2021 (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

I hope you are all doing well! Happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas, Habari Gani, Joyous Festivus and Good Thursday to all of you.

In order to try to help you sort through my ever growing list of content, I am going to start doing monthly round ups like this that will give you quick links to everything released in the previous month. Let me know if this is helpful, and if there is anything else you would like me to include in these posts in the comments.

Here is a quick review of November's releases. The Tier required to access each one is in brackets after the link. Free/Public Content is marked as (Free).

In November we released - 

• 77 Maps & Variants
• 33 Map Tiles
• 237 Assets
• 117 Tokens
• 3 5E Adventures
• 4 Complete Foundry VTT Modules
  

Samarahd

• Sunstone Obelisk - After the fabled ‘Battle of the Dragon’ where a sandstorm eradicated an invading army, this carved pillar of jet-black stone was found outside the city walls, uncovered by the raging winds. It was bought inside and stands now as a shrine to the desert. When the Sun strikes the obelisk directly, its dark exterior seems to glisten with a vivid rainbow of colours. The Order of the Magi believe it to be an ancient arcane device but have had no luck in unlocking its mysteries.  
  
  Free          Hi-Res (Travellers+)          Variants (Adventurers+)

• Camel Racing Arena - Camel racing in Samarahd is not just a sport, but a cultural touchstone. The most successful riders and their camels are practically celebrities in the city and many retired racers have gone on to become prominent members of society when their careers have ended. While the major races take part every few months, there are smaller races held twice weekly at the arena and anyone who can afford the entry fee can take part.

Monster Lairs

• Red Dragons Lair - The mighty Red Dragon Aevnath slumbers deep inside the caldera of Mount Torund, far to the North of the Boreus Desert. In her younger years she ravaged what little civilisation existed in this distant region, taking their wealth for herself, and hoarding it in her lair. It has been many decades, possibly centuries, since anyone dared to seek vengeance or claim her treasure for themselves, so she rests waiting in hope that one day someone will come.

Into the Wilds - High Seas 01

• Ship Wreck (Travellers+) - The wreckage has clearly been here for some time. The timbers have rotted and  those poor souls who went down with the ship are now bone and sinew. However there still seems to be some untouched treasure right in the open. Perhaps no one has discovered the wreck until now, or maybe it has been placed there as bait.
• Phased Tidal Cavern (Travellers+) - After a long swim through the dark underwater tunnel, your lungs almost bursting, you finally see a faint glow ahead. The tunnel opens up into a concealed cavern, but more importantly an air pocket. You fill your lungs and start to look around, perhaps this was her final resting place? Almost immediately you notice the water level is rising, the tide is coming in and the cavern is filling up!
• Deep Sea Trench (Travellers+) - No matter how deep you go, it seems there is always more water below. Even at these treacherous depths, the ocean floor has no apparent bottom. Swimming above these open underwater ravines leave you with a sense of unworldly dread, and rightly so.
• Whalebone Graveyard (Travellers+) - It is not known whether the Great Whales instinctively travel here to die when their time has come, or if something nearby has been killing them when they are unfortunate enough to come close. Either way, it is not recommended to wait around for too long.

  Heroes’ Feast: Lair of the Red Dragon is a Fifth Edition adventure designed for three to five characters of 11th level to 14th level. The adventure pits the characters against a deadly ancient red dragon. An ancient red dragon is a significant challenge for a party of this level and will require every ounce of their strength and cleverness. If the characters rush into the encounter, they will surely be killed by the dragon. They must spend time researching their adversary to ensure survival against the menace.
  
  
• Vampire Church by DMDave (Adventurer+) -
  Vampire Church is a Fifth Edition plug-in adventure for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 5, 8, 11, or 14. This document offers details for each level and makes adjustments accordingly. A small church hides a dark secret: all of its priests are vampires.
  
  
• Cabin in the Woods by Alex from Tavern Tales (Adventurer+) -
  Cabin in the Woods is a Fifth Edition horror-comedy one-shot adventure for three to six characters of 2nd to 4th level, optimized for a party of four 3rd level characters.
  The strange cabin in the Twilridden Wood has been rumored to be haunted for decades. Hunters who've used it as a resting place during their expeditions have repeatedly reported strange sightings in its vicinity, and rumors persist that people have died trying to uncover the cabin's history.

Scenes

• The Caravanserai (Forgemaster+) - The Caravanserai primarily serves as a smaller marketplace for those who are hoping for a bargain or the chance to pick up some hard-to-find imported goods, but it is also the main trade hub for goods coming into the city from elsewhere. Although it is ostensibly run by the Tajir Guild, the day-to-day management is handled by Zenit Thar, a former trader who made his wealth through business loans and it is believed by many that he holds some sway over the Tajir, perhaps due to debts owed or secrets held.
  
  
• Dr Krankensteins House (Forgemaster+) - Dr Riktor Krankenstein is a brilliant inventor who yearns to understand the mysteries of creation. After a number of somewhat successful experiments imbuing a semblance of animation and intelligence onto toy dolls, he felt ready to turn his talents on to something more substantial.
  
  
• Valley of Tombs (Forgemaster+) - Those who are deemed worthy in the Temple of Judgement after their death are immured in the Valley of Tombs. The high sided valley cuts through part of the mountain that protects the city, and its rocky faces are covered in scattered mausoleums, shrines and grave sites, each dedicated to a storied figure of the city’s past.
