It's been over a fucking year since James was like I'm suddenly struck by the idea of putting a young blonde in a blue dress on the cover of an adventure I'd call "Eat Me," and I told him I'd write it.
It's allegedly time to start the graphic design, meaning the document I just turned over is almost, probably, I think, maybe the final draft of A Red And Pleasant Land.
It's got...
-A setting with a war, meals, croquet, spatial distortions, time traps, gravity problems, looking-glass magic, puzzles, marmalade, warpigs and vampires
-4 monarchs and their retinues
-80ish pictures, about half in color
-Half a dozen maps
-Customs of Voidvojda
-Advice on campaign structure and running NPCs
-Further reading/listening/watching
-A new character class and A new spell
-47ish new monsters, statted, described and illustrated
-The Heart Queen's Castle (like 84 keyed rooms)
-The Looking Glass Palace (a 54 room dungeon)
-3 more sample locations with like 20 keyed areas each
-Quick rules for:
...characters with inherited rank
...characters controlling armies
...duels, duelling injuries and the duelling code of Voivodja
...PCs navigating mass battles
...mounted combat
...handling henchmen, familiars, etc in large battles
-Random tables for:
...adventure hooks
...random animals
...Drink Me's and other anonymous gifts
...backgrounds for characters native to the setting
...random NPCs
...random events for lands at war
...stupid Wonderland conversations
...random intercepted communications
...another I Search The Body table
...instant location generation
...random objects
...random weird dungeon rooms
...relationships between NPCs
...NPC motives and hooks
...figuring out where characters that missed a session have been
