I can't imagine anything more boring than mapping out level after level of the mine...with nothing happening.  Given that, there is a LOT of room for DM expansion.  I'd probably populate the upper levels with some servants of the demon on the bottom level....they could even be dretch or goblins or something similar, as long as their constant attacks  slowly wore the party down and drained some of their spells and magic.  Because no threats on the upper levels mean the characters are going to march into the big baddie's lair fully loaded...can't have that happening!!!

My personal favorite for mines is two-headed trolls living beside subteranean lakes and streams.  I love those things.

Nope, actually they are the same company, run by OneBookShelf, so the cut is the same either way.

Thanks for considering that, though!

Adventure Games Publishing is pleased to announce the release of our first direct-to-PDF product, Monsters & Treasure of the Wilderlands 1, now available on DriveThruRPG.com and RPGNow.com.

Monsters & Treasure of the Wilderlands 1
Over time players become complacent, sure in the knowledge that they have encountered every creature in the book and catalogued all treasures to be found. They won't be so certain when the judge pulls out a new book of 16 pages of monsters and treasures that they've never seen before!

Monsters & Treasures of the Wilderlands 1 includes 16 new monsters designed for use with Castles & Crusades and the Wilderlands of High Adventure Campaign Setting. Running the gamut from pesky 1 HD faeries to fallen 15 HD demi-gods, each monster includes details on ecology and society, powers and treasures. Some are hauntingly familiar, just enough so as to trip up the unwary adventurer, while others are entirely new and created from whole cloth. Though designed for use in the Wilderlands, every monster can find a home elsewhere, and is easily adapted into just about any fantasy campaign setting.

Also included are 16 new treasures, ranging from the least bauble to great and potent (and usually, most dire) relics. Each is tied to the Wilderlands, adding more detail to your Wilderlands campaign, though the histories can readily be altered to suit any campaign.

Monster List
Angrasinamru (Peacock Devil) [15 HD]
Bat, Giant Vampire [2 HD]
Cat, Saber-Toothed Tiger [7 HD]
Centipede, Giant Wooly [6 HD]
Gorgosphinx [12 HD]
Gourandrouni (Demon Hog) [4 HD]
Gràdhcronaím (Lost Love Fey) [6 HD]
Grue (Shadow Elemental) [9 HD]
Hound of Hades [6 HD]
Imp, Chasm [2 HD]
Malicorn (Dread Goat) [2 HD]
Moppet, Witch's (Devil Doll) [3 HD]
Sloughree (Wind Howler) [10 HD]
Sprite, Cràigeanetlagh (Flying Frog Faerie) [1 HD]
Szaltys (Lucky Snake) [1 HD]
Teknatzou (Cavern Crone) [5 HD]

TREASURE LIST
Abacus of Instant Calculation
Beggar's Bindlestick
Blade Belligerence, The
Dagger Divine, The
Demon-Die of the Mandarin-Lords
Dragon Shield
Gwyndolyn's Mail
Hag's Eye

The Rhadamanthia Continental Map is now available in PDF format on DriveThruRPG and RPGNow!

This 17" by 22" map depicts the continent of Rhadamanthia, upon which the Wilderlands of High Fantasy are found. The Wilderlands is merely one of 15 large districts of Rhadamanthia, each District divided into 18 Campaign Regions.

The 15 Districts of Rhadamanthia are:

Northern: The Great Lakes, the Frozen Lands, Valonaria, Vanaraya, and the Tempest Lands.

Central: The Giant Lands, the Infinite Desert, the Wilderlands of High Adventure, Western Karak, and Eastern Karak.

Southern: The Lesser Horned Empire, the Greater Horned Empire, the Demon Empire, the Demon Seas, and the Infinite Islands.

Each District and each of the Campaign Regions of Rhadamanthia are described in the "World of the Wilderlands of High Adventure" article in Adventure Games Journal #1. The World of the Wilderlands of High Adventure guidebook, containing the information presented in that article, will be available separately in a PDF file in the next few days. Remember, if you already have AGJ #1, you do NOT need the Rhadamanthia Guidebook!

Note that AGJ subscribers will get a FREE 11" x 17" version of this map with the first Campaign Installment.

This booklet is the sister-product of the Wilderlands of High Adventure Rhadamanthia Continental Map. The material presented herein originally appeared in the "World of the Wilderlands of High Adventure" article in Adventure Games Journal #1.

If you already have Adventure Games Journal #1, you do not need this product!

This booklet includes information on:

The Cosmology of the Wilderlands of High Adventure
The Sun, Moons, and Planetary Ring
The world of Gaia and its continents, oceans, seas, and islands
The 15 Districts of the continent of Rhadamanthia
The 18 Campaign Regions of the Wilderlands of High Adventure
Everything you need to start a continent-spanning campaign can be found in this booklet.

Note that the map of Rhadamanthia and most of the details that are listed herein were developed with Bob Bledsaw, the original designer of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy, upon which the Wilderlands of High Adventure is based. These materials are 90%+ compatible with everything Bob developed; a few names have been changed, and a few things have been added, all with Bob's blessing.

Normal retail is $6.00, but for a limited time the guidebook is available at only $3.00!

Warrior-Mages of the Wilderlands
Sorcerers of the Wilderlands
Monsters & Treasures of the Wilderlands 1
Valley of the Dead Queens

The Warrior-Mages and Sorcerers articles are available on the AGP site free as part of the earlier (and now defunct) Cool Rule of the Week effort; this is likely the only time they will every be available in print.

The Valley of the Dead Queens preview provides insight into the upcoming Sandbox Module line.

The preview includes maps of hexes 04:0714 and 04:0715, details of what is to be found there, and a map of the hamlet of Cragfalls, a hamlet in hex 04:0715, along with descriptions of about half the locations in the village, including background and specific individual information. The Sandbox Module Line will premiere online on DriveThruRPG and RPGNow, enabling Wilderlands fans to puchase exactly the set of hexes they wish to supplement their Wilderlands of High Adventure and Wilderlands of High Fantasy campaigns.

Units of the 2008 Wilderlands Jam that are not sold at Gen Con will be made available first to Adventure Games Journal subscribers who were unable to attend the show. Unfortunately, due to the limited numbers, we cannot offer a subscriber discount at the show or afterward (should any be available afterward).

The Wilderlands of High Adventure: Imperial Town of Tell Qa PDF is a ready-to-play town setting found in the Falling Empire of Viridistan (Wilderlands Campaign Map 4). Tell Qa includes 83 town locations complete with NPCs, ranging from taverns and inns to courtesans and moneychangers; plus details on local races and cultures, military defenses, local Mycretian cells, adventure rumors, recent history, and streets and market places, and a gorgeous yet eminently useable Judges Map of the town and a blank Players Map that the judge can hand to players exploring this last bastion of civilization of the Falling Empire.

Looking for adventure? Don't know where to start? Here's an easy method. Flip through the booklet and pick a location at random. This is where the adventure begins, in the middle of the action. Look over the description of the location and its occupants, and consider the nature of the adventurers. Perhaps the NPCs seek to employ the adventurers — they need a treasure recovered, or an enemy silenced. Maybe the adventurers seek goods or information at the establishment. If you are still stumped, pick another establishment at random, and develop a connection between the two and the adventurers. Perhaps the Grocer (#48 ) has a cart of odd goods to deliver to the Bazaar (#20), and wants to hire guards… why? What is he really delivering that needs such protection? Or maybe the adventurers start out at the Town Jail (#55) — are they prisoners, visitors, guards, or perhaps they are bounty hunters? You decide. If the adventurers start in the Slave Market, they could be slaves being auctioned off, or passers--by who see a friend or ally being sold. The possibilities are endless; just pick a location and go!

This PDF also includes 20 highly detailed NPC encounters designed specifically for use with Tell Qa.

Imperial Town of Tell Qa is designed to be used with the upcoming Valley of the Dead Queens Sandbox Module Series, as well as the forthcoming Environs of Tell Qa Wilderness Series. The whole can be combined into a massive campaign that provides countless hours of adventure!

Note: The information presented in this PDF is available in print form in the 2007 Free RPG Day product Imperial Town of Tell Qa: Northern Bastion of the Falling Empire (out of print), and the 2007 Gen Con Special: XXXI (still available in limited quantities). If you have either of those products, you already have all the material presented herein.

The PDF version of this product clocks in at 36 pages and has retails at $9.00.

I am now completely lost as to what is published and what is not. I did begin to collect printed works, and would also buy PDFs, but the constant republishing of already released materials in 'lite' cut down form or rehashed re-released in a new book form has completely ruined the product line for me.

Deleting products really quickly is not a good idea when most of your buyers are collectors. There is also no definitive list or anything coherent about what is being published, so I'm out of collecting this line of JG stuff untill someone catalogues it and puts up a website.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.
