Playing some WHFRP 4E. I am playing a Riverfolk character in what looks to be an interesting campaign. We will see how long it takes before my PC is killed! :D

Before jumping into the D&D/TSR release year of 1977, we should look at the OD&D white boxes that were released from 1974-79, the 4th - 7th printings of the OD&D set. Here are my 4th (original shrink), 5th, 6th (signed by Gary and Gary and Dave on all the interior books and my 7th (original shrink).

Now at the Atlas of Mystara: Francesco Defferrari’s Izonda and Pelatan, 24 miles per hex from 2011. The culmination of a decade of work from Francesco and Thibault Sarlat, this map was an amazing gift to the community. Bravo!
Sturm’s Izonda & Pelatan, 24 miles per hex
This map was the culmination of a decade of on and off collaboration between Francesco Defferrari and Thibault Sarlat. It all started back in 2001 with Francesco’s Northwestern Davania, 72 miles per hex draft map, dividing the western section of Geoff Gander’s Davania into nations great and small. Then in 2006 Thibault turned this into a series of draft maps at 24 miles per hex, which in turn Francesco marked up with details in the form of locations, internal borders, and of course map labels.

TTRPG alternate rewards:
-Favor: The player may at any one point call on an NPC or group to do something that is within their power.
-Contanct: Someone who will provide resources or information 1/x sessions

What else? Looking for alternatives to gold and magic items.

What do you think the raiders, traders and explorers of this area would be like?
