Veins of the earth pdf download
Just to comment that it comes as a file with single page spreads or at least that's what the version I got from the LotFP site is. Great review. Could be my screen size, or more simply I may not have checked an option or something. It wasn't too much of a problem. Thanks for the heads up. The PDF is serviceable, though displaying as a double page spread and using a clear, but somewhat degraded typeface means one has to enlarge it a fair bit to read, scrolling about in a plus page PDF.
After the introduction Veins of the Earth moves directly into a monster manual. Like all the content in Veins of the Earth its creatures vary from the horrifyingly disgusting diseased undying corpses wracked by specific maladies and muttering terrible personal secrets to the bizarrely majestic giant beetle larva with a cocoon of magical weaponswith a bit that is inexplicably silly the meta-game commentary hero hunting inter-dimensional angler fish.
I aso have a general aversion to Bestiaries and Monster Manuals so that this part didn't entirely turn me off is praise in itself.
Many are very disturbing, but also compelling and have a strong internal logic and coherency, veins of the earth pdf download. Even the most horrible provide a kind of sadness and space for GM sympathy. The Knotsmen are the best of these - The Knotsmen are simply terrible underground dwelling humans, long warped by life under the earth and by pacts with terrible demons. Knotsmen are unique, disconcerting, obsessed with debt, bureaucracy, slavery and torture.
They are perhaps Drow analogues they are not the only Drow analogues though - there are terrible dream aelfs to fulfill that role as well in Veins' Underdark - they even constantly produce renegades, but no one will ever want to play one.
Fully half the book is monsters - most are very good, many are very good and very strange. All are illustrated and thought provoking. A few are silly a bit jarring in the context of the rest of the setting, but more are not simply monsters, but large scale veins of the earth pdf download components, suggesting entire campaigns or adventures built around them. Each of these races is described differently, the Deep Janeen as a series of tables, the Aelf-Adel veins of the earth pdf download a history and extended metaphor, and the dErO as a series of fragmentary contradictions almost a poem.
Some approaches work better than others, all are interesting, though some of the weaker the dErO could use a bit more attention to the GM facing content, providing context of how to use them in play. This offers a potential well of really interesting interactions and might be a component of a very strange environment, veins of the earth pdf download, but as presented it is more a set of tools to build faction interaction, then a real structure for faction based Underdark games.
Starting on page of Veins of the Earth gets to the part I find interesting, and the part that really puts it far above other Underdark products like Out of the Abyss, veins of the earth pdf download. The monsters described previously are largely fun, unique and excellently imagined with interesting special mechanics and characterization.
The Underdark races provided offer mostly wonderful description that properly expresses the concept that deep dwelling dwarfs are more than avaricious humans or deep dwelling elves more than spider worshiping goth sadists. Both are really, really different than people and whether this is shown through providing a flowchart for their decision making or carefully and poetically mapping the grandeur and enormity of their hatred, the lack of humanity is described in a way that one can almost understand and hopefully use.
Page however, is where the cave exploration and light rules start, veins of the earth pdf download. The three page section on lamps alone provides more setting material then most gazetteers, and sockets into a useful initiative, movement, treasure and wilderness rule set.
Mostly this is given to randomly generating cavern systems, and the veins of the earth pdf download provided are quite fun, encouraging three dimensional description and design over the classic top down approach, and also combining the two. This section is wonderful, because even for a GM that wanted to play a much more traditional Underdark, say using Out of the Abyssin forty pages Veins provides a fairly approachable way of making wilderness travel scale i.
The party will cross and float down rivers, ascend and descend spirally burrows, brave fungal fissures, and travel along fault carved canyons, veins of the earth pdf download of which the GM can narrate as a strange world filled with far more, ever changing detail then I have seen in any other Underdark setting product.
Better, this veins of the earth pdf download travel of landmarks and actual environments is easily converted to something denser and more granular through tables and mechanics that generate individual cave systems. If this section is the heart of Veins of the Earthit is a very good heart.
More rules follow - cruel cannibal rules, regarding food, veins of the earth pdf download, madness and survival that feel solidly rooted in the sprawling three dimensional Underdark that using Veins' as suggested will generate. After that there are more tables and appendices of unique, chthonian spells, treasures and encounters as well as odd digressions such as Knotsmen symbols and a creepy description of twelve kinds of strange darkness.
It does this and it does this well. There will of course be complaints - about the art and the writing being too experimental, arty or strange - but these critics miss the point of Veins as an exploration of an alien world filled with ideas that are utter madness to everyday human sensibilities, but sensible in the setting it builds so effectively.
Evocative hints, and inspiring prose rather than excessive rules driven explanation alone would make Veins of the Earth an outstanding setting book, but the way it marries mechanics to setting intent and mood of play is a very rare accomplishment. Veins of the Earth is one of the few tabletop products that I will undoubtedly use, not just to pull elements or ideas, but rolling on the tables and using content directly from its pages.
