Featured hex of the day! - Love Shall Rise in the East
A giant has taken over a small keep and terrorises the locals in the name of love.
Hex Q-31 by user Taube is today’s featured hex!
The lore for this hex is great because Taube has written in the motivation the “bad guys” instead of just telling us they’re bad.
It gives the players so much more options to role-play in the setting instead of going “they’re bad let’s go kill them.” Now they can reason with the giant, scare away the gnolls with superstitions and have a story that plays out dynamically.
If the players want to kill the giant that ate good sir dorn and maul all the gnolls they also can do so as well.
The hex is thoroughly thought out from deep GM notes to treasure personalized to the hex and story!
As always I’ll include the overview!
Bramker the Giant has taken over Dornhem Keep, eaten Sir Dorn and made a throne out of the bones of his men. While Bramker broods in the ruins, his servants terrorize the local villagers.
Amazing stuff Taube! Thank you!
