Fantastic!
Amazing! The text is great to. Love they way you LochNess it all.
Beautiful! Though I would quibble with the scale. It should be much much bigger. That size at twice a ship lengthy is totally fathomable and doesn’t jive with the description that you only see a flank at a time as it would be easy enough to see the whole beast every now and then as it crests.
I hear of a theory that Leviathans are merely single, surfacing limbs of an unimaginably vaster entity.
Nailed it
Colin Fahrion I hear you, I wanted to keep the sailors at a visible scale, but then the Leviathan kept coming out as a blank wall, no discernable features.
Were I to redraw, it would be a 3/4 perspective with the crew looking down at a series of giant, baleful eyes running just below the ship’s wake.
Good grief, now I want to do Moby Dick as a Leviathan Hunter.
David Perry Cute theory. You could also explain the cataclysm and lack of sunlight as – the world was swallowed…
How is “modern society” based on the blood of these creatures? How is their blood collected without killing them? Given that if you killed one you could presumably tow it to shore for examination.
They can’t be killed
Is there, or are there plans to make, a compiled pdf of these? This is such excellent quality. You should be proud.
Douglas Duncan Pickard there’s numerous threads in the community musing on that topic
Marshall Brengle
I am not really looking for community musings. I am looking for a coherent vision of the setting for me to use to run the game
Douglas Duncan Pickard you’re looking at the wrong game then sir. John Harper has been pretty explicit that none of that will be set in stone, and your table will have to answer those questions for themselves.
Marshall Brengle oh well. $20 wasted.
There are answers to those specific questions in the book. (The early access PDF will be updated to the full book content when it’s ready)
The book does not have 300 pages of setting material, but it has more than the Early Access PDF. Conveying the setting in a compact form is one of the goals of the game, in fact. It does invite the group to flesh things out, which is a key component of RPG play, as I see it.
If you need an exhaustive gazeteer of everything in the setting in order to play, you’ll be disappointed. If you need a bit more than what’s in the current PDF, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Even without the detail I don’t see what the problem is. It took me a while to wrap my head around it, but I really like the idea that every group has a different version of the Shattered Isles. Douglas Duncan Pickard​ even if the full book didn’t answer your question, you’d get to come up with whatever explanation you want for leviathans. How is that wasted money?
Hey, if Douglas doesn’t like it, that’s fine. He doesn’t have to justify himself here.
:shrug: fair enough
I’m just relieved it’s not on me to provide the “definitive” Duskvol. I doubt even Gilliam Guilfoyle is going to turn out to be an entirely reliable narrator…
