The Stygian City: Bottom of the Pit
🕑 Added 2024-11-29 18:00:47 +0000 UTCSo, here we are at the bottom. Remember that circle-and-star symbol I've been drawing on the floors throughout this dungeon? Yeah. This is what that's about.
So, the Stygian City is finished, but it's not. For patrons, I'll be drawing a few alternate bottom levels, which will include an underwater aboleth lair, a vault for some kind of artifact or entity, and a gateway to the underdark (or Hell or wherever). I'm also going to draw one where the bottom is just full of trash and debris, because I think that'd be pretty funny. What did you expect to find down there? A giant monster?
In my last post, I talked about an idea for the next megaproject. Just to let you know, the response was overwhelmingly positive, so that will be happening. I want to finish up the alternate levels of the Stygian City first, so it'll probably be a couple months before I get started, but I'll get to it before long.
I'm also going to make a Stygian City Codex for patrons, a brief overview of each level for non-patrons and there are a few more things I want to add to the DM notes.
But before all that, I'll be drawing the next Cartographic Congress map, the Palace of Thorns. This is the palace of a dark fae lord, which is covered in vines and thorny overgrowth. I don't know how I'm going to draw this place just yet, but I'll figure it out.
Anyway, I hope you like the way I finished out the Stygian City! Let me know what you think.

I'd say Ghanya will knock the whimsy out of their sails pretty quick, haha.

This is all awesome and for my narrative I'm having the characters visit the pits only three times First, they do a whimsical adventure gathering spider silks (Lvl 8) for a tailor. https://dumbestdnd.com/p/pretty-fly-for-a-wight-guy/ They'll end up thinking your "Pit" is just part of a farcical adventure... but, it's dangerous.

Thanks, I hope Ghanya was sufficiently godawful. I did my best.

Wow! What a stunning map!

Nice! Just how I envisaged it from your descriptions.

Nobody will pressure you to hurry up to the next megaproject. I think you take enough on your plate already with these new ones. Keep up the amazing work!
