Village Backdrop: Lanthorn (Patreon)

Blimey! We are almost done with 2016! Village Backdrop: Lanthorn is our penultimate release of the year. It's amazing to think that we've released well over 70 products this year. I couldn't have done it without your support, so thank you very much for sharing our gaming journey!

In the upcoming weeks, I'll be sharing more information about Raging Swan Press's plans for 2017. Some particularly good news for me--and I hope you--is the 500-Word Gloamhold Challenge , which I'm enjoying immensely. I'm a huge fan of incremental success and over the last few weeks I've made some serious progress on my megadungeon. You can learn more by hitting the above link.

Anyhow, without further ado, here's Village Backdrop: Lanthorn. I hope you enjoy it and that you add it to your campaign. 

Village Backdrop: Lanthorn

A GM’s Resource by Creighton Broadhurst

High up in the mountains, and often besieged by packs of murderous trolls, the village of Lanthorn stands as civilisation’s last glimmering light in an otherwise bleak and barren mountain range. A strange alliance of wizards—the Grand Conclave of Sublime Artificers—and a gaggle of (almost) civilised goblins—the Flaming Skull tribe—dwells in a bizarre atmosphere that is both scholarly and anarchic. Protected by high walls and gigantic magical lanterns imbued with portent fire magic, the wizards craft the mundane and wondrous items for which they are famed. Without the walls brave—or foolhardy—goblin “miners” search the nearby troll-haunted mines for lead and silver—some of which is reputed to have magical properties.

Village Backdrops are short, richly detailed supplements that each present a single village ready to insert into almost any home campaign. Perfect for use as a waystop on the road to adventure, as an adventure site themselves or as a PC’s home, Village Backdrop present the details so the busy GM can focus on crafting exciting, compelling adventures. 

This product is a Dual Format PDF. The downloadable ZIP file contains two versions, one optimised for printing and use on a normal computer and one optimised for use on a mobile device such as an iPad.
