We found warm, soft beds in Mud Town. All of us were made welcome. But as I slept, I felt as if Sharpstone’s spirit had followed us here, pleading at us to return to the sapphire cavern, where the tenebrals took him. We all shared this dream. This visitation.
When it came time to leave, for leave we did, we had several fresh baubles from the guild — who could have been more grateful — and new maps to complete before the dawning of the next Kalm. Genrik is twitchy. He keeps muttering about things not being as they seem.
Our hope is to reach Telver’s Hearth again before the Kalm comes, otherwise it’ll be time to duck into a cave and secure a habitat until the storms and monsters abate.
Hello Diggers,
Following up on my post from last week, I've got the latest episodes and podcasts covering The World Below and some of the Actual Play episodes using this game.
When a plague of rats descends upon the underground settlement of Mud Town, four adventurers are tasked with investigating a long-abandoned citadel and securing much-needed supplies. The route is perilous, flush with dangerous monsters and unpredictable Kaos magic, but Mud Town will only survive if our heroes can survive the tunnels, and open The Farthest Gate.
Dork Tales began their adventure last week with a Session 0, creating characters for their story, Down in the Deep. Now they set out proper in Episode 1: A Simple Favor.
The Onyx Path team concluded their three-part podcast adventure across three episodes of the Onyx Pathcast:
Which is great, because this week they've followed up with an interview with two authors from the book! Episode 283 features a talk with Travis Legge and Michele Masala about The World Below!
Now that backers have read the Sorcery chapter, you'll be able to learn more about Travis' efforts for the book. And backers can get excited about the final upcoming section of the manuscript when listening to Michele talk about World Below monsters!
On Tuesday, backers will receive the next section of the manuscript, which covers Chapters 8 and 9
Chapter Eight: The World Below - This chapter describes the setting details of the World Below. From mysteries of the dogmas and ancestries, to dangerous realms on the edge of existence, this chapter is packed with useful, inspiring information for any player or Storyguide.
Chapter Nine: Storyguide Wisdom - The Storyguide chapter puts the power in the Storyguide’s hands, as it details adventure hooks and World Below locations, community building and generational play, along with thorough advice on how to run a terrifying adventure game.
With just over a week to go, Matthew has wondered if we'll crack 800 Backers participating in the project! We've got more than 725 right now, so please continue to spread the word about the World Below and let's see if we can bring another 75 people (OR MORE!) into our community!
