Elseridge Academy 08 - Unusual Grounds (Patreon)

Study? Are you kidding me? There's a match today!

Hello all, and welcome back to Elseridge Academy! We are now officially 2/3 done with the magic academy at the edge of the world! This release is a weird one: we've got a crazy meteor sport, the "independent" pub, and a new scheme for how you might structure your campaigns. Let's take a look!

Borough Guide

This guide primarily concerns three unusual elements on the east edge of campus. First up is Other Leg, the pub / cafe / mini-mart that exists just outside of campus. Here, students can grab some fancy drinks, go to a party, or just hang out. Next up is the fluxum shard, a mysterious meteor upon which students play Scramble Shard, the official sport of Elseridge. We've (of course!) provided rules for the sport so that you can engage in high-stakes extracurriculars. Finally, therre's the boardwalk: the best place on campus to watch matches or wandering flamingos. 

Maps

This map is a bit of an oddball. We've got the cafe, the wooden boardwalk, and (of course) the massive, spiky meteor. As with each of our Elseridge maps, we provide 5 additional aesthetic variants: Tropical, Forest, Winter, Fluxum, and Starfall. Notably, the fluxum variant is pretty bonkers.

Patrons at the Chief Courier tier and higher also gain access to two interior maps for Other Leg. We've got maximal cozy vibes here, people. Plop yourself down in a booth, drink a Jules Julep, and forget about your woes. 

Music

We've got exciting sports music for you today, y'all! "Scramble Shard" is the official anthem of matches on the fluxum shard. Big strings, lots of drums, and tweedling woodwinds give you the sense of BOTH magic and sport. For a more brass / percussion heavy ensemble, throw on the "Fanfare" variant.
