Witherwind Patreon Campaign
Welcome to the Witherwind Patreon Campaign hosted by Dauid of Ravenstead! This will be a long running adventure primarily using 5th Edition SRD Rules accompanied by a variety of home-brew content. The campaign setting is the World of Witherwind, it's continents, islands, vast oceans, and sprawling countryside. Witherwind is as diverse as it is untamed. At the beginning of the campaign the world map is populated solely by the Kingdom of Ravenstead. As my Patrons grow in numbers they will be given lands as a reward for supporting Ravenstead and granted sovereignty over said lands. We will see the birth of a global civilization which will strive to displace the hordes of monstrosities and brigands that roam freely. My Patrons will be able to expand their holdings through diplomacy and might, all overseen by me, your Gamemaster! Role-Playing, innovation, creativity, and collaboration are encouraged and will occasionally supersede the campaign rules.
Your Gamemaster,
Dauid of Ravenstead
Here is a closeup of The Kingdom of Ravenstead. One Hex equals 30 miles and each world hex will have an accompanying map of seven smaller hexes representing 10 miles per hex. After that each of the smaller seven hexes can be represented by a location map with associated details. Lots of Maps!
I hope this sounds exciting to you because I am really looking forward to building this world with you! It's going to be a long journey, one that we will write together. At this humble beginning I have the world map created which you can see on the Witherwind World Map page on this site. I will very shortly have the Patron rewards updated to reflect the different land grants based on pledge level. I intend to update the world map weekly to reflect any such land grants. The next step will be drafting a set of Settlement/Kingdom management guidelines, then rules for random encounters, adventure locations, conflict resolution, and diplomacy. The campaign and it's encounters will play out here as blog posts as well as posts and messages on the Patreon page. I'm not sure how we will handle dice rolling, perhaps just an honor system or a dice rolling widget of some sort. I'm going to need a lot of help and input from all of you to make this fun and successful!
I may open this campaign to other non-patrons to serve as NPC's but land grants and sovereignty is solely a reward to Patrons. Remember this is going to be slow going at first but it should be a fun campaign!
