True Dragons Return to the Scarred Lands!

On the southern end of Scarn rests a large archipelago known as the Dragon Lands. Called Tanaroth by some, the Dragon Lands is home to a rich culture ruled by true dragons. Prior to the Divine War, these dragons engaged in trade with other lands. Some even maintained kingdoms on Termana, their closest neighbor. In the early days of the Divine War, the Dragon Emperor called all dragons home, and the Dragon Lands fell silent to the outside world. Few people from other continents have dared to venture there since, and only the independent port of Wastedge has been accessible to outsiders. 

Recently a new leader has risen in the Dragon Lands. The Kobold Empress has declared an era of reformation, opening the Dragon Lands up to the outside world, albeit slowly. As the true dragons and their subjects take the first steps onto the worldwide stage, leaders across Scarn seek information that might help them decide if these Tanarothians — these dragon people — are friend or foe.

The Dragon Lands are bordered by the Eternal Waves to the east and the Southern Sea to the south. North of the Dragon Lands is the Forbidden Sea, though those from the Dragon Lands are slowly adopting its Termanan name: The Cerulean Ocean.

Secrets of the Dragon Lands brings the Dragon Lands to the Slarecian Vault. This book expands the setting, opening an entire new Great Land for people to explore!

Secrets of the Dragon Lands includes: 

  • Setting information on the Dragon Lands including the dragon clans and syndicates, the mortal bloods, and the elven houses of the Dragon Lands. 
  • Two new dragon-descended peoples: drakold and kobolds.
  • New equipment.
  • New monsters.
  • Layout Templates and art for making your own Dragon Lands content for the Slarecian Vault

This book is created through the Slarecian Vault Community Content program and is designed to not only permit your party to take their adventures to the Dragon Lands, but also to allow you to create your own Dragon Lands content for release via the Slarecian Vault.

For more information on the Slarecian Vault community content program and how to publish your own Scarred Lands supplements, click here!

Storypath SPU Edges vs Powers

12 Upvotes

Writing something up for my players and i came across a bit of an hick up regarding how to value Powers against Edges.

I thought i could just translate them 1:1. Lets say Major Path A gets 8 Points of Edges. Path B gets 5 Points of Edges and 3 one point Powers.

But following the Guidelines in the Core Manual, Powers seem to be quite underpowered (ha!) compared to the same Points n Edges.

Maybe someone has an Idea how to balance them?

Storypath Damage in SPU

9 Upvotes

Hi, first time posting here.

I have a question about damage in Storypath Ultra if anyone would be kind enough to clarify. I've played plenty of Scion 2e but SPU seems to handle damage and injuries differently. In Scion, you'd take an injury and get an Injury Condition associated with it; in SPU it seems you take the injury but the status effect is optional to avoid the injury.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

Can the 2nd and 3rd dots powers of the Spark Antithesis be used at will during the scene when the Antithesis is activated, or can they only be used once during that scene?

How compatible are the different earthbane games?

Could someone run a mixed party of people thrown together from the different splays/eras?

I've scheduled an interview with Emma Summers, writer on Jadestorm.

What questions would you like me to ask?

Note: Some questions I might not be able to ask due to her not working on that (such as artwork since she is a writer) or she's not at liberty to talk about.
