Opportunity. Intrigue. Welcome to Dalentown…revised and expanded!

We’ve just updated the DriveThruRPG and itch.io files for Adventures in Dalentown for 5th Edition (pick it up in the shop if you don’t already have it). The additions to this release include improved layout and bookmarking, but it’s not just a facelift: we’ve added dozens of new adventure seeds, encounter tables, and a lot more setting information that you can use as-is or make your own.

What’s Inside?

Here are some of the improvements:

• About a dozen new monster and NPC stat blocks.
• An NPC Index organizing the named characters by location or alternatively by name.
• New NPC movers-and-shakers that open tons of adventures in politics, or in the literal underworld beneath Dalentown.
• New encounter tables that take into account different adventuring tiers: tailor this campaign setting to any level!
• Dozens of new and expanded adventure seeds, including pre-made encounter groups.

We didn’t forget about players! In addition to the 5 new Backgrounds and 3 new Factions that were available from the beginning in this book, we’ve added a series of tables for generating or inspiring character backstory tied to the setting. Who is your character, and who do they know? What big problem has motivated them to go adventuring, or has plagued them since they’ve become an adventurer? Find out using the all new backstory generator!

Get the Updates

If you already picked up Adventures in Dalentown for 5th Edition previously, the updates are free. Just check your DriveThruRPG or itch.io Library and download the new files (conveniently named with “v2” in there so you know what’s what!). If you haven’t checked out this setting, now’s the time! It’s got the perfect homebase for your adventuring campaign, filled with intrigue and opportunity (Dalentown), tales of pastoral fantasy (Rock Down), or arcane mysteries and infernal machinations (The Wizard’s Enclave)! Get it in our shop.

Out Now and Coming Soon

Don’t forget you can expand your campaign with the FREE Tales from Dalentown: Trueland Gazetteer for 5th Edition. It’s a short supplement with a neat campaign setting skeleton you can mold however you want. We even released several versions of the map alongside the Worldographer files in this post, so you can truly modify it to your heart’s content!

Players and GMs should look out for our next release, Folk of Dalentown Volume 1, featuring three new playable ancestries (“races”), each with specialized feats, NPC and monster stat blocks, and a fully developed settlement in the Western Frontier hex map!

Today we launched a spin-off of our popular Dalentown series, expanding the world and adding new opportunities for adventure. Say hello to Tales from Dalentown! This series boasts new adventures, adventure sites, and lots of material to help a GM get up and running quickly. In fact, it’s geared towards populating a hexcrawl-style campaign. So first thing’s first: the inaugural release is a hex map and gazetteer, and it’s FREE!

What Do You Get?

Tales from Dalentown: Trueland Gazetteer for 5th Edition is packed with content even at a “mere” 9 pages. You’ll get:

• The Western Frontier map, built in Worldographer (by Inkwell Ideas). It uses 6-mile hexes, perfect for dropping into any campaign setting.
• A brief overview of the three settlements from Adventures in Dalentown. Check em’ out if you haven’t already!
• A two-page campaign setting history. Read this simple but effective backstory, and use it or ignore it. It’s perfect if you want to drop it in other worlds, or if you hate reading 150-page encyclopedias in order to run a campaign setting “right.”
• An unlabeled map of Dalentown by Elven Tower Cartography.
• Standard and 6×9 layout versions for optimization on multiple devices.

What the Future Holds

We’ve jammed it full of additional world context for the Dalentown setting. Plus, every location gets info on possible encounters, adventure scenarios, and even player options. Best of all, discover hints about some of our new and upcoming releases, like Folk of Dalentown Volume 1, featuring new playable ancestries complete with Feats, NPC stats, and fully detailed versions of the settlements mentioned in the gazetteer!

The continuation of the Tales from Dalentown series includes a compilation of one-shots. Check back soon!
