Beyond the Glittering Sands
A psychedelic science-fantasy pointcrawl set on a desert coast, with mountains and seas at its borders that stretch as far as eyes can see—a desolate place where civilization is scarce but nonetheless there for those who venture further into the wilderness beyond their reach in search of adventure. --- 1. Beyond the Sea of Glitteering Sands lies an OSR/NSR pointcrawl micro-setting set on a mountainous border with vibrant, if not always welcoming landscapes within easy access from one's starting position along this arid desert coast (or vice versa). The hex images and NPC art are sourced in part by the Patreon artist Thomas Novosel.2. A 13 page zine contains 6 locations inspired by games like Vaults of Vaaern and the micro settings found on High-Land Paranormal Society's platform, as well as additional encounters to add depth to your game or campaign setting for use with Knave system in mind (as seen through Thomas Novosel).3. The background art was sourced from various sources including @WeirdSatellite bot curated location names and a mix of hex images courtesy of the artist's Patreon account on which he is active, as well as some original illustrations commissioned specifically for this pointcrawl
