Wednesday Ben's Day News #25 - More Amber, a roundtrip through Barovia, even more Amber and a poll!
🕑 Added 2022-03-30 20:17:05 +0000 UTCPut on your amber coloured glasses and lets go!
Amber Temple release tomorrow!
The second part of the mighty Amber Temple will be released tomorrow - you'll find some snapshots scattered throughout this post. But what is that?
*Angry amber noises!*
This bird-headed hunk is our interpretation of the Amber Golems patrolling the Amber Temple. What does our local arcanozoologist have to say about them?
,,Amber Idols are constructs crafted from anointed amber, fossilized resin obtained from sacred trees. While humanoid in stature and gait, their heads resemble bestial guardian spirits of old. Amber Idols are tasked with guarding hidden temples and lost sites that harbour great evil, tirelessly patrolling ancient gaols to ensure the continued confinement of the horrors sealed within.''
To celebrate this coveted release we decided to release this Amber Idol alongside it. Head over to Beneos Tokens to grab the free statblock - we've included some minor tweaks to the original creature to further emphasize its position as warden of powerful and dangerous monsters and magic!
What's left to do?
With the Amber Temple wrapping up there are but a few places left to explore before saying our last goodbyes and leaving our favourite mist-wreathed dreadplane behind.
Next up are the swamp-swallowed town of Berez, including Baba Lysagas signature Creeping Hut, followed by the Three Fanes last shrine. Are there any places we haven't visited yet that you'd love to see - for example the House of Lament? Let us know if we missed anything!
What's up next?
Before making the final decision if we are to adapt another module as our next big, month-spanning project, we want to build a solid foundation of battlemaps - we want you to be able to run your bandit ambushes, tavern brawls or cave explorations in style, using the Beneos Battlemaps your players are hopefully acustomed to by now! And as you're the ones playing with them, we'd love you to weigh in on what you'd like to see! We did a similar poll a few months ago, but there are a lot more of you now and maybe your priorities have shifted! So, please, let's hear it once more
*ahem*
WHAT FUTURE ENVIRONMENTS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE WITH OUR BENEOS BATTLEMAPS QUALITY? (Multiple Answers Possible)
Feel free to add your own ideas in the comments!
Thanks for the feedback and see you next week!

St Andral's Church would be a good addition since we already have the Orphanage.
More Domains of Dread 😍

I love your maps and would REALLY like to see maps of Eberron! We couldn't find content of the scenario on the internet, despite being an amazing scenario.
