• 0209: Teziir (small city, 10,944) — a major trade city on the Dragon Coast ruled by merchants, boasting a diverse group of temples and shrines to nonevil divine powers, but nevertheless plagued by a thieves' guild infiltrated by the Night Masks of Westgate.
• 0511: Dungeon — believed to contain a relic from the Time of Troubles, sought by an unknown party, somewhere among the hills and forest of the area.
• 1008 — a handful of farms dot the area around the small lake.
• 1009: Reddansyr (village, 608) — a small town known as an information clearing-house and a fair-sized temple to Oghma. Giant's Folly is the significant festhall (located inside an overturned boat) where information is exchanged freely (or for a price).

  • The road connecting Teziir and Reddansyr is the Trader's Road (0110, 0209, 0309, 0409, 0509, 0608, 0709, 0808, 0908, 1008, 1009, 1010, 1111, 1112).

Homebrew and House Rules

All of my accepted house rules are in use for this game, and that page also has Faerûnian homebrew and additional options for the Cypher System.

Play-by-Chat Structure and Guidelines

Adventuring! will run on a 48-hour tick system where players will have 48 hours (ish) to get their updates in, converse about strategy, ask questions of the GM, etc., and then the GM will update with outcomes and move the game forward. More details can be found here.

Cypher Tables

Treat all cypher types as manifest by default. Roll a d20 and use that result for which table to roll on (they're all built as percentile tables, so you can roll d20 + d100 for both together).

Most instances work in the game and could be represented as at least one kind of physical item, or roll on the cypher form table in Godforsaken (which would be a combined roll of d20 + d100 + d100).
