Wild Hunt Studios

After a long time serving a solely archival purpose, the Athasian Cartographers’ Guild website has been extensively redesigned and relaunched in conjunction with the Pristine Tower Development Group’s efforts to expand the setting on a global scale using canon (both public and never-released sources) and popular fanon sources. New, lore-corrected maps of the core regions and surroundings are available, and more are in the process of finalization. Many other maps are being discussed and outlined.

I spent a good two months on the redesign and coding this summer, with many more man-hours going into actually painting the site graphics, and am very happy with the results. If you’re into the Dark Sun setting, or just like maps of fantasy worlds, come check it out!

It’s been a while since I posted a blog entry. I’ve been studying at university and haven’t had much time to write about gaming. Instead, I’ve focused my energy on creating things for the community. You can check out my Blades pages here (under Gaming Resources), my Patreon, and my itch.io to see what I’ve been up to and what I’ve been making.

But the reason for this post is that I need help finishing my education. I returned to school after almost twenty years, having had to put it aside in order to take care of family, but now I’m coming up short of funds for this year. More of the story is at my GoFundMe. I’d appreciate any help you can give, which includes sharing this campaign (it really helps!), and thank you!

  I wasn’t planning on putting this Mission Sheet up, for the tenth phase of our Band of Blades campaign, as it deals with the Fort Calisco mission, which isn’t handled like other missions. But here it is anyways, since the sheet was mostly complete (I’ve finished fleshing it out for posting purposes) and you can see how we ran the mission in our campaign. As normal, this post includes some additional notes on meta-game events that affected play.

General information about these sheets and a full archive of previously posted sheets can be found on this page.

 If you’ve ever played Red Hook Studio’s Darkest Dungeon video game and thought “I wish this were an RPG” and then thought “Stress and trauma in a gothic shell? That sounds like Blades in the Dark!” then oh boy do I have something for you!
