What's Included?
Expansive Battle Maps filled with Key Locations
We have deconstructed this humongous drifting city into 15 giant battle maps. These stunning maps detail The Wandering Tavern in its entirety. They not only act as a perfect visualization tool for your table but your Players can enter combat on any floor, hallway, or secret room they wish.
Each Key Location on these maps is fleshed out with in-depth descriptions, deep lore, and a purpose. Many of the locations have Plot Hooks that a GM can use as inspiration for incredible side-quests or as fuel for dark mysteries to solve and unravel. Every time a Player enters a Key Location there are always a host of possibilities for fun, roleplay, and plot progression. There is so much to discover! Just ensure you don't lose your way, because the Spirits will come for you…
New NPCs
The Wandering Tavern is home to a myriad of extraordinary characters. There is never a dull day with strange and curious folk gambling, partying, trading, and roaming. From imperfect secret love stories to quiet rivalries, the patrons and staff are in some way all interconnected. Each character comes with a full description, backstory, personality, and room for growth/development.
For those characters/creatures you may skirmish against in a dark alleyway, or those who may be persuaded to join your cause on the battlefield, there are full D&D 5e stat blocks.
Plot Hooks
Littered throughout the streets, and held on the lips of the patrons and staff, are a host of interwoven intriguing plot hooks. Some of these hooks lead to dark forgotten secrets, youthful rebellions, and black market empires, while others focus on petty personal rivalries, forbidden love, and twisted histories. You will never run out of curious tales to tell, deep conversations to have, and wondrous mysteries to unlock.
Plug and Play Zephyrs
This gargantuan setting comes with 5 never-before-seen Zephyrs (Airships). These include tiny Mafia owned fighters, massive cargo vessels, and home-style Zephyrs used by nomads to cross the turbulent skies. Unlock even more storytelling possibilities by using these Zephyrs for sky battles around The Wandering Tavern, epic chases to escape the ruthless Claw Militia, and protection from deadly creature attacks.
These Zephyrs have full D&D 5e stat blocks and function using the HaTD Sky Zephyrs vehicle movement and combat system. To ensure you can get started on your very own wondrous sky adventures using our Zephyrs, we have included our Sky Zephyr Quickstart Guide!
We have also deconstructed these 5 Zephyrs which consist of 50 brand new Parts and Stations that you can use to custom build your dream Zephyrs. There are wild new abilities and actions to spice up Zephyr combat and take your flights to new heights. These Parts will also be made available in the HaTDBuilder for those who back The Wandering Tavern. Find out more at HaTDBuilder.com...
Spirits and Their Mechanics
When the sun sets on The Wandering Tavern and the street lanterns ignite, Spirits pour out of the shadows. These Spirits fill halls and the streets. Some search for friendship and pleasant conversations, while others just want to inflict grievous damage upon anyone without a Spirit Ward. Within this travellers' guide you will find information and mechanics on the various types of Spirits you may encounter, how they came into existence, methods to protect yourself, and some example Spirits to help get GMs started. So keep your Spirit Wards close, and whatever you do, don’t die anywhere near the Stone Of Remembrance, for if you do, you will suffer the same fate as these unfortunate Spirits.
Additional Content Included
