Aketon

Using the Aketon (Gambeson) system to generate the natural caverns that are in the central 6-mile hex of the hex flower. The Iron Hedge (a wizard and tower) is located in that hex as well as a group of Nomads. Aketon is available here: https://ward-against-evil.itch.io/aketon

Now that the terrain has been determined, it is possible to select the monsters that inhabit each of the 19 hexes (6 miles across). For this, I am using The Usual Monsters (my as yet unpublished supplement to Dragons Beyond).

I messed up the saving throws. Watch this short video to get back on track with me.

Starts at 13:24 - the rest is me fumbling around to set up the stream. We are learning to play the Aketon system which is a very cut down version of OD&D + Chainmail. There is a lot of flavor and punch packed into this ruleset. It is available on itch.io at https://ward-against-evil.itch.io/aketon Character generation starts at 1:27:30-ish. Prior to that it is campaign prep. FYI, the comments I made about FMC (what I mistakenly called Full Metal Chainmail) are actually about Fantastic Medieval Campaigns (FMC) which is also on itch. I'm sure the designer is a lovely person, but the rules left me cold.
