Palimpsest [Draft 0.2]

Palimpsest 0.2

A Setting and Hexcrawl in the Realm where Realms Go to Die

Created for the Tabletop Graveyard Jam

Currently, PWYW until the 1.0 draft is finished. When released at a set price community copies will be made available.

This is a mostly-finished draft that really got away from me that will continue to be updated and eventually will be properly edited by someone who knows how to do that.

It is absolutely runnable as is with all lore, locations, hexmap, and most tables being complete.

This began life as ‘Baby’s [my] first hexcrawl’ for the Tabletop Graveryard Jam and just grew into what is now over 50 pages and still going, because I became so enamoured with the project and making it the best I could.
