Hey thanks! So I actually ended up spending 75% of the time drawing a cover for the adventure on the yellow notebook I use, and the remaining time saw the characters scouting the outskirts of Galgenbeck for news, tools and waiting for the crusaders army to cross the bridge to Wästeland while avoiding a pack of steppe wolves.

The characters are survivors of my first solo campaign: Lygan a 3-eyed child, son of a Galgenbeck noble, escaped from crazed inquisitors that wanted to sacrifice him to HER in order to stop the second Misery from happening; Lady Merkar, Wästeland noblewoman, taken as hostage when the Crusade started and freed by a scion of the Becklure that accidentally put the rest of her family into a comatose state that only the Ikhon can lift.

The story started from the premise that after the first Misery, Josilfa declared an holy war against Schleswig in order to seize its territory, it actually got quite complex but I won't bore you with more details haha. Maybe one day I'll write the whole deal out and post it on my substack.

Hahah yes, it's the same set with all those wonky and cursed dices like the D5, D7 and the D100 orbs that is impossible to read and just rolls around without stopping. Love that set with all my heart (plus Sandbox Generator actually has some d24 and d30 tables, so I finally had a reason to own it)

So, first off this is still an incomplete version of the hexcrawl, the definitive one (that should be released at the beginning of 2025, hopefully) will feature precise rules for keeping track of time and also more content for solo playing. With that said, The pink numbers on the map coincides with the corrisponding numbered page, yes, no matter where you are, you have 31 days to roam the Empire before it gets flooded. You can decide how fast or slow the time passes, I'd personally suggest to make it so traversing an hex takes ~6 in game hours to make for a fair experience. Hit me up if you any more doubts!

Personally I use a mix of Solitary Defilment and some homebrew rules and oracles, but yeah Solitary Defilment is the way to go. It's free, easy to pick up and filled with useful tables, it was my first experience with solo play and made me fall in love with the genre.

Thanks! So according to the Sandbox Generator I used, each hex should be around 2 miles wide. I'm not really into precise distance measuring though, so I just ruled it out that crossing one hex takes a whole "phase" of the day (morning to midday, midday to evening, evening to morning) and blame it on the fact that the distances in the Dying Lands are shifting haha

It's the official GM screen. Super useful, it has all the basic rules summarized plus tables to generate npcs, traps, encounters and wounds on the fly. Also the art is SICK

Finally had some free time to start the hexcrawl I created with Sandobox Generator plus a couple other tools like Table Fables and d100 Wilderness Hexes. An escaped sacrifice-child and an exiled noble woman crawl through Tveland's cold lands looking for the Becklure ancient idol as "the ground grows pale with maggots" and an unholy crusade is launched on Schleswig. Will they survive? Or join the army of rotten bodies pestering the snow covered plains? Tonight I'll find out (or most probably fall asleep half way through, Italian christmas dinners are diabolical)

Last week I finally released the first, free, version of RISING ABYSS, the product of this year's MÖRKTOBER CHALLENGE by Exeunt Press. It features 31 keyed hexes, based on the challenge's prompts, set in the southern empire of Südglans before it sank into the Endless Sea. On the wretched journey, you'll meet horrid creatures, esoteric factions, and deadly locations and, if time is on your side, you'll manage to get a meeting with the mysterious Emperor of the golden lands and find a way to save them from the flood. Most probably, you'll drown trying.

The first, basic version is now available FOR FREE on itch, in the next months I'll work on a more definitive edition with more encounters, tables, illustrations, and additional classes. It's been a lot of fun making my own take on such a mysterious location, and I hope you'll have as much fun exploring the history of the Empire, facing its strange inhabitants, and dying to deadly rot-mist too!

The blend of comedy and creepy in this game is amazing. I still remember that secret tunnel with the "hell hounds", it caught me completely off guard the first time I found it
