Aelwine
A downloadable game
Download NowName your own price
Aelwine is a small hex-map and region designed to give you the seeds of your own campaign.
Hexes are deliberately left blank for you to explore using the on-board weather, terrain, encounter and point of interest tables.
Four warring houses as suggested factions and (at least) three sites on the map to drop in your own preferred dungeons and ruins.
Use for a one shot, a solo hexcrawl, or as the beginning to your own long term campaign.
This is actively (but slowly) being added to and expanded with more material.

This is perfect for my solo campaign using Harper’s Quest 2 as a rule set. Absolutely perfect DIY old school heavy metal art style with just enough lore and plenty of tables to get you going.
There's a lot of flavour packed into here.
Is there a canonical source for all the monsters?
Some of them are unfamiliar and I wouldn't know how to stat them.
This is really cool. Can't wait to dig in and see what comes up, both what you have put into it and what ideas and inspiration it might conjure up while playing!
Do you have a preferred starting hex?
the village of Eld!
This looks great. I wish I had a bit of your energy. I don't understand how you are putting out more content after just finishing up your KS. Much respect.
hey thanks!
the creativity keeps me energized - otherwise my real job just kinda drains me, I work 50-60 hrs some weeks so the art and game stuff is a refuge!
wowowow. I really don't understand how you have energy after that, but good on you. I imagine this helps keep the stress of that much time on the clock at bay :D
I really like the drawing style.
thank you!!
Awesome, thanks!
cheers!
Love the look! I've been thinking about making something like this, myself, although I do not have your artistic skills!
Cheers! I’d be happy to work with you on something. The map is all stamps which saves me tons of time. If you’ve got ideas for something or want to collaborate I’d be happy to.
I'll take you up on that! Let me get some thoughts together and I'll figure out a way to DM you!
you can hit me up at castlegrief at proton dot me
Got it!
The stamps are a really cool idea. Really practical :)
Did you make the stamps or is there somewhere to buy them?
hey I made them myself!
They are awesome! Are the stamps the size of the hexes when printed out are they larger? If they are the same size as when printed out, how did you get those details in such a small Space? Did you carve then on rubber, linoleum or wood (or something else)? Finally, Are Aelwine, Black March and Tarvannion all in the same "world)?
carved in rubber yeah. For anything larger than .5” they work well.
Aelwine and Tarvannion definitely are. Black March is the borderland east of my own Kragov setting (you can google it for a free keyed hex map)
Funny enough, Kragov, Black March etc share the world of Kal-Arath. The northerners call the great steppe The Kyrg, and people from there “Kyrgan.”
Though the natives call themselves “Arathi.”
this is so cool UGH THE VIBES
thank you, glad you like it!
