New sun rising

Welcome to the first writing day of the new year here at Brazen Wolfe Tabletop and being a Monday let’s start off with something to kick our week off.

The inspiration for this week, probably month, is one of my favourite suppliment books I got when I was a teenager, and an aspiring Dungeon Master. So let’s kick it off.

Crimson flags on a pale shore.

As the rising sun touches the sails over the docks a shimmering sea of red greets those who rise with the sun. Long masts on beautiful ships sail into port with strange and terrifying creatures carved into the richly coloured wood.

The people seemed to flow across the decks as they tended to great rippling red sails, silken rope and barrels of good. Yet only the captain of a ship had their face not covered by a white mask. As they dock great planks were lowered to the piers below and crates, barrels and cages were taken off the shift and lowered to the docks as the masked sailors moved surefooted across the wooden planks to take their cargo into warehouses and storage.

As the people move across the streets their presence, odd mannerisms and appearance start to cause a commotion across the port town of Daye and soon enough word travels of the animals, items, goods and strange foods that the new ship has brought in. The people are welcoming of the excitement and the traders are accommodating despite never removing their masks or gloves.

After a few days reports of strange occurances of things being moved in houses and shops as well as shadows drifting over roofs and walls. As more of these sightings occurred the people started look for something or someone to blame and curfews were places upon the masked traders to both protect them and rarely their movements through the night.

Well a small snippet to set the scene. Come back tomorrow to look at a NPC or two and to explore what I have in store for this week

Don’t forget to add an hour or two to your hobby and to come back each day for the follow on post and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,

A shift in view.

Hello and welcome back to Brazen Wolfe Tabletop.

This year, until I adjust it again I want to focus on the 5 main points for an adventure again but refining it down to a core focus each week. What that means, I hope, is clearer and more concise daily content which adds to the existing catalogue I create here on this blog.

Mondays will be as normal focusing on the plot or story behind the weeks content and drilling down into it.

Tuesdays will be the whos or whats. If there is a something or someone who we want to focus on, normally this was NPC day and for the most part it will continue to be just that.

Wednesdays will be that twist or secondary hook. Most great books or memorable adventure’s I have read or run for my party have that mid adventure spike in the plot/hook. Whether the quest provider is actually the villain or BBEG of the adventure or maybe they learn something new that changes their perspective.

Thursday’s, I’ll admit, became my least favourite of days (mainly due to it being a busy work day). So I will leave thursdays to detailing and adding something more. A refining day if you will. I still hope that this can include maps but having it as an option not a must may relive some pressure I have on that day.

Friday’s or fight-night were for encounters but not every week or TTRPG session has fights. So I will use Friday’s for game mechanics, stat-blocks or things the party need to use their skills and abilities to overcome.

The weekend content may shift slightly too.

Saturdays for me will be a busy day for hobby in the evening with a new season of Warhammer picking up as well as being a day to either post a post-week writeup or some additional content.

Sunday’s will be whichever Saturday didn’t cover, whether it’s a writeup for the week just gone or a battle report for a Warhammer game or two.

I am excited for what this year will bring and hope you can join me once again as we roll the dice to create our own stories.

And as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,

Happy new year

Just a quick post to wish all my readers a happy new year, let’s hope this year is better than the last!

I plan on adding a few different varieties of content this year and again, yup again…, Looking at the format. The original adventure a week wasn’t fleshed enough but was time consuming, the write up narrative style was extra time consuming but lost the original intent so I will reel in it back into the intended format and still aim to produce useful and original content daily for use in your tabletop games.

Thanks to my early followers and continuous readers and I hope to see the Brazen Wolfe Tabletop community grow more this year.

This is me signing off with me telling you all to don’t forget to roll with advantage,

The Brazen Wolfe
