WOTWW Version 5


Pillard Verneuil, Maurice - Ornaments with Golden Pheasants, Snails, and Ladybugs
I used my latest print run this fall as an excuse to make some edits. Now the PDF versions are up to date, plus some digital bonuses like shiny bookmarks and hyperlinks!!

All the changes (that I could remember) are listed below:

  • Hyperlinked and bookmarked the PDFs
  • Justified text throughout 
  • Revised prose for coherence, grammar, general flow, etc.
  • Moved starting clues to the quest-giver table on p. 2
  • Added slightly more details to keyed locations on p. 6 (emphasis on slightly)
  • Upscaled Faction Relations chart to take up a full two-page spread (p. 9-10) 
  • Fleshed out a description of the "Silver Pool" encounter on p. 12
  • Added provision to give Wardens more room for providing clues (p. 17)
  • Revised Clues (p. 17) and spread them out farther across the map
  • Condensed Rival Parties (p. 18) to a single page and changed part of the rival party procedure to take place in between sessions
  • Moved NPC tables (Knights of Prytania, Roll-a-Bandit, Roll-a-Fairy)  to p. 19 and rewrote a few entries to better match the setting
  • Changed the Lost Pride side-quest (p. 22) so that Dojn Dugal gives players the tracker's tongue as an advance for taking the job
  • Revamped adventure site encounter tables 
  • Tweaked logic and added slightly more details to each of the adventure sites (emphasis on slightly)
    • 1 exciting example---I incorporated the shiny fruit from the illustration into the text
  • Changed the logger ants to "crofter ants," mostly the same with some different behaviors
  • Adjusted diredew's function as a "trap" and added some detail to make it stand out from the other carnivorous plants in the book

P.S. There's been some interest in print copies of WOTWW. I hope to find a good merch option to sell them online in the new year!
