If you roll for random encounters and unusual weather at the start of the day, and both occur, feel free to let one inform the other, e.g., if the random weather is tremors, then instead of using the random encounter rolled, change it to something involving the earth cult (and include a priest or other magic user). For instance, a sudden violent downpour may indicate that nearby is a group of water cultists (“Water cult marauders” encounter) gathered at the shore of a small pond upon which as water priest is conducting a rite of Olhydra. There are several random encounters (p.30) that, when paired with an appropriate weather event, can help get across the idea that the strange weather is tied to the various cults. Because later events in the story tend to amplify the weather and produce greater, longer effects, it’s probably best to keep these random strange weather events limited to a smaller period of time: a sudden, violent storm that develops quickly and stop just as abruptly a few minutes or an hour later a series of small tremors that last a few minutes and then stop. For instance, unseasonable hot or cold temperatures might last throughout the day (and return to normal the next day), but a tornado is more likely a single event. The duration of the events are also up to the DM’s discretion and what makes the most sense with the results rolled. A sudden thunderstorm can break up an otherwise uneventful day of travel, or disrupt a night camping under the stars forcing the PCs to find shelter. The DM can decide that unusual weather happens at any time during the day, or at multiple times, depending on what makes the most sense with the results on the table and what the PCs are doing. ![]() If results happen too frequently or infrequently, the DM should feel free to reroll or just decide that something does or does not happen. With these tables, there is around a 41% that some sort of strange weather will happen on a given day. Roll once per day on each of the tables below to determine how the weather is out of the ordinary. To reinforce that theme, I developed a set of random unusual weather tables for use while running the adventure. Wyrmwood know what they are doing and have attached rare earth magnets into the wood using screws to secure them in place so that the two halves of the vault snap it together and secure with enough force to make it clear no jolt or knock is going to open it when it is being carried around in your bag.Early in Princes of the Apocalypse it is repeatedly suggested that the Sumber Hills have been experiencing unusual weather lately. So that’s £17.27 to £86.38 for the Dice Vault and £16.58 to £76 for the Hero Vault with £16.58 shipping.įirst things first, these are luxuries, there should be no one out there who is under the illusion that you should need a special wooden box to hold 8 dice or a single model or a magnetically assembled contraption to roll their dice or store their cards so picking this up should be the last call on your gaming shopping trip.īoth are well made, and match the pictures and description on their website which is sometimes a problem with Kickstarter products, especially those using natural materials like wood or stone. Depending on the wood you pick, the Dice Vault goes for $25 to $125 and the Hero Vault goes from $24 to $110 with $24 shipping. I picked up the Dice Vault and the Hero Vault on Kickstarter. ![]() As you can tell especially with the last one, they are high end gaming accessories for tabletop gaming. Today I’m going to be writing about a company I backed on Kickstarter called Wyrmwood Gaming, they have done 5 campaigns at the current time of writing this, the Dice Vault, the Magnetic Dice Tower System, the Hero Vault, the Dice Tray and the Deck Box with optional Bluetooth tracking tile. I’m not doing it as paid advertising or being given free product so if I write about something then it’s just that I want to offer my opinion on something that deserves being written about. ![]() One of the things I’d like to write about are the smaller companies that don’t get a lot of press in the gaming industry.
