Westernos' Deep Preview Text (Patreon)

Hello all!

Many of you may recall a project that I've been hinting at for an embarrassingly long time now: an adventure text to accompany the Westernos' Deep dungeon maps. If you're not sure what I'm referring to, a while back you all had chosen Westernos' Deep to be the location I wrote a module to as a part of the new goal reward we had imagined together to replace the Public Asset Packs last summer. At the time, this was only based on the battle map entrance I'd imagined for the location.

Since then, I had released a few 'design previews' to both indicate that progress was being made on this front as well as get feedback being rather new to the endeavor of packaging my homebrew design content for others' use:

• Early Design Feedback 
• Truesight Torch Preview 
• Westernos' Watcher Preview 

Now I'm happy to announce that a) the project has taken on a length (and breadth) that I had not nearly anticipated it would at the onset and b) I have a preview of the first half of the module to share with you all! The 12-page PDF attached below effectively acts as a primer for the first section of the Deep: the Chambers of Ascension and prepares the dungeon master for actually running a campaign that might choose to integrate this location into its setting. 

I would obviously love it if you could give it a read (or even a quick skimming!) and let me know if you have any thoughts, suggestions, or encouragement. As you can tell from how long it's taken me to even get this far, it has been intimidating to take on a project like this alongside all of the other content. I know for a fact that a great many of you are thoughtful designers of great content for your own campaigns, so please gimme what you got! That being said, please forgive the not especially attractive formatting, layout, or overall design of the module in this state; I have an entirely different program I'm going to be drafting the final version of this text in that will look far more professional. This is just a working document.

If you haven't grabbed them already and would like to do so after seeing this PDF, I've collected each of the three map posts pertaining to this module below:

• The Deep Passing (battle map)
• The Chambers of Ascension (dungeon map)
• The Tomb of Deadly Rites (dungeon map)

Enjoy!
