And here's the landing page map for the first session when we schedule it..! #daemonwaste #eberron #vtt #maps #lightningrail

Laptop screen and keyboard open in Roll20 showing a railway-style carriage interior full of crates and barrels with a central access path along it

Making maps for the first #daemonwaste session. Can you tell what it is yet? #ttrpg #maps #vtt #dnd #eberron

female presenting hobgoblin (red skinned humanoid) in scavenged leather and metal armour, holding two machetes with knuckleduster grips. One hand is made of metal, and one of her eyes is made of green glass. Her hair is dyed yellow and purple, and up in bunches to keep it out of her eyes.

Building up a number of local gangs and posses in the #daemonwaste, using Heroforge to help visualise them - here's a friend to yesterday's stranger: "Lines" Ekra #ttrpg #eberron #dnd

full length portrait against a yellow and dusty backdrop, of a wide and powerfully built male in tattered trousers and an open vest. He wears a battered brimmed hat, and has a large metal club studded with lumps. His left hand is tucked into the arm of his vest and he is half turned to look at the viewer

A wanderer in the #daemonwaste appears - Varlas - what role will he play out on the dusty plains? #eberron #dnd #ttrpg

Death and the Daemonwaste Thoughts on death in D&D, and in particular the house rules for the upcoming Daemonwaste game

Some musings on death in D&D games, and the opportunities with some house rule shenanigans for the upcoming #daemonwaste game #ttrpg #eberron #dnd

Muscular male presenting figure with greyish skin in dungarees and a cowboy hat. His dungarees are blue/grey and his top beneath it patterned in green. His hat is brown. His left hand holds a pair of tongs. A blacksmith's hammer is tied to his belt. He appears lit in soft red light and sparks appear behind him as if caught in a breeze

Paused on my teabreak to make up a blacksmith for the #daemonwaste game - meet Derel #ttrpg #dnd

lightly furred male minotaur in light armour harness approaching with a two handed stone club in his hands. His horns are bound with reinforcing leather bands. Black tattoos swirl on his muscular arms and chest

Local minotaur bandits? In my #daemonwaste? maaaaaybe... #ttrpg #dnd #eberron

Furry female humanoid wearing a skull mask and stepping towards the viewer with a large axe in her hand. Her clothing is made of hard wearing leathers and furs, and her legs are coated in dust

Here's a representative of the local bugbears in the #daemonwaste - the Er-kin #ttrpg #eberron #dnd

Daemonwaste – Faction Concepts I'm continuing to pull together some Heroforge designs to help conceptualise some of the factions and commonly encountered groups in the mix for the new campaign. I'm still coasting a bit until the tail end of this week when I'll be officially on holiday. I need to make up an area map that can be uncovered and expanded on during play, and as part of that I can then draw up territories and story seeds.

Some of the factions and groups soon to be adding excitement and challenge to players' lives in the #daemonwaste #ttrpg #eberron #dnd

dark clothed warrior in chainmail, equipped with a sword and shield. A crescent is painted in black on the shield, and a black handprint obscures the handsome if cruel features of the man. He is shrouded in flames, smoke, and sparks, lit by faint red light

If you live and adventure in the #daemonwaste then you're not safe from anyone, even the armies of the so-called civilised realms... Brelish raiders strike from the east #eberron #ttrpg #dnd

crouched blue lizard humanoid in dusty yellow and brown robes and armour. A crooked bronze dagger is clenched in one hand and it is hissing defiance

circular portrait token with blue scaled reptilian kobold snarling defiance. White and black paint suggest a skull motif

What are the local kobolds like in the #daemonwaste? Well, as you asked... blue... make of that what you will #ttrpg #dnd #eberron

full length portrait of a hyena-headed male humanoid crouched to pounce. In one hand is a spiked hammer, the other has blades protruding from a wrist bracer. Clothing is dusty and largely brown and red with spiked pauldrons. The face has a calico pattern and a bright red band painted across the eyes of the snarling face

I'm starting to populate recurring opponent types for the #daemonwaste game - here's a gnoll from a local tribe of border raiders

Daemonwaste – The Characters, So Far I'm still poking bits and pieces of the story and locations, and plan to do a big chunk of blocking out later this month when I take some leave. In the meantime though, some of my regular players, and a couple of new people, have started making their characters. To aid in that process, I've then started making portraits and tokens based off their Heroforge models.

The #daemonwaste game is lurching towards the starting line - and here are at least some of the player characters that we'll be learning about along the way... #ttrpg #dnd #eberron

lavender skinned androgynous individual in flowing black, red, and yellow-trimmed clothing. There is a large double bladed axe on their back, and two more axes at their waist. At their feet is a black and orange cat with white paws

Also wandering into the #daemonwaste are Jeek and Lord Grumbles. Lord Grumbles is the cat, just to be clear #ttrpg #eberron #dnd

small red scaled draconic figure in brown clothing and a white half cloak. In one hand they have a twisted wooden staff, and the other a bright blue crystal. Sunlight is spearing through dust in the air

A desert scene with dust and debris blowing around. In it is a cheerful goblin of indeterminate gender in brown leather armour and a cowboy hat. One of his eyes has been replaced with a crystal orb

And our next two player portraits show Grazka and One Eye. Ready for shenanigans #ttrpg #dnd #eberron #daemonwaste

Red skinned male presenting figure in dusty brown leathers. He has horns poking through this wide-brimmed hat, and has cloven hooves for feet. He has a short blade in his right hand, and a longer blade lifted high in his left hand. Dust swirls around him in a ruined amphitheatre

A grey skinned, tall and thin figure presenting in an androgynous fashion with long silver hair, and flowing gold and white robes. The figure has a fiddle and bow in slender hands, separated as he looks beatifically into the middle distance above you. They appear to be on stage against a backdrop of scattered hearts

Meet Gorindul Inkstring and Akainferus, two of the new player characters coming soon to the #daemonwaste game. Akainferus is on the left, Gorindul on the right #ttrpg #dnd #eberron

Map – A Dusty Street The new adventure I'm writing up has a decidedly Weird Western feel to it - but is also firmly set in the fantasy world of Eberron. It allows me to mix up elements without writing a whole new set of custom rules. As part of the playing around with themes and elements, I made this dusty badlands street suitable for a duel or some kind of showdown…

With the #daemonwaste game in development, here's a sample badlands street and some scenario ideas for your vtt #ttrpg #maps

Muscular male figure with side-cut hair and large single eye in his forehead, wielding a roughly-constructed metal hammer. He wears layers of leather and a sleeveless long coat that swirls around him.

Heroforge just introduced a proper cyclops head - well, it would be rude not to take advantage while putting together some #daemonwaste npcs

Male.presenting slender humanoid apparently made from stone, with furled bat wings, and swept back horns, standing in a desert with dust and flying sparks

Thought I'd have a go at making an Eberron Gargoyle - someone elemental for the #daemonwaste #ttrpg

male minotaur in dust-coated leather robes and armour, bearing an axe that seems to be made of molten rock, striding towards the viewer across the desert

Khurah Ashbone - Minotaur bandit roving the #daemonwaste

smirking white man dressed in green and blue and a long coat. His left leg is artificial. His short cropped hair is dyed in green and yellow hues. In his left hand is a red glass of wine, in his right hand a simple straight edged dagger. A curl of yellow vapour wreathes around him from floor to ceiling

Coming soon to the #daemonwaste game - Barrei. Nothing keeps a determined priest down... #ttrpg #dnd
