Calico JesseMade the outline of an Elven Tree Outpost using mermaid mockup.
Now to draw a real map.

Brilliant idea, or terrible idea: play a game of Dwarf Fortress. Turn the map into a megadungeon for my Nimble game.
A thousand years later after it’s been transformed for another purpose.

What do wood elf soldiers do for fun in their rec room when they are off duty?
I’m running Axe from the Grave (Keys from the Golden Vault) for my group this week.
What I don’t know is how much to prep for afterwards, since knowing my group they’ll just intimidate their way through in 20 minutes.
Do I find them another quest in Foxden, or send them back to Thornport?
My group successfully committed some insurance fraud at the Snail Fancier Society
They followed instructions and didn’t end up in combat.
They are starting to have enough money that I need to find things they can spend it on.
Next time they go hunting in the sewers for the beast that’s been eating beggars.

Finally remembered to turn on hex numbers. Now my notes can actually specify where things are.
Aberash Keep is in 14.37.
Also learned how to make a GM layer.
Of course noticed a typo in Kondwani City.
Most of the Marsanne lands.
Aberash Keep
2 Inner Gate
The inner gate used to be barred, but the fastener rusted and the goblins haven’t repaired it. It’s heavy enough to take an action to open. If the goblins are alert and manning the murder holes, any character between the two gates takes 1d4 damage from dropped rocks, shivs, and other garbage after their turn. Plus the goblins in the guard posts could fire arrows through the slits.

Noble Families Project
I’ve managed to make a successful import file.
Now to figure out how to use Gramps, but I’ve got plenty of data to play with.
I did see a minor family named governor, so I’ll have to sort that out. But gramps I’m exporting the birth last name, I should probably add married name to the notes field.
One of the best dice mechanics from Traveller 5 is the “flux” roll. You take 2d6, but subtract the second die with the first one, giving you a result from -5 to 5, but most likely 0.
I have 6 noble families for my Outlaws of the North game. To decide their initial relations with each other I rolled flux for each pair. -5 means mortal enemies, +5 means strong alliance. 0 is neutral.
Apparently nobody likes Kalem.
If anyone wants to contribute an NPC to my Outlaws campaign, I can use as many as you can throw at me.
I just need a name, a nickname, and a sentence or two about them.
I’m not using many Chinese names because my group will never remember them, so feel free to use any kind of name. Evocative nickname is the most important, that’s probably what players will remember.
