🕑 Added 2024-01-16 23:32:40 +0000 UTCEdit: I wasn't totally happy with the original version of the map, so I've updated it a bit. I'm pretty happy with this version. Enjoy!
Hey all!
This month's Just Passing Through will focus on a single city, Valtoria, the City of Canals, which is also the setting for this month's adventure release, Phantasmal Killer. I'll be building this out over the next few weeks. The physical book will launch alongside Phantasmal Killer's book.
Here are the details:
Discover the enthralling world of Just Passing Through 5: Valtoria, the City of Canals, a richly detailed fantasy setting reminiscent of a mythical Venice, designed for your fantasy roleplaying campaign.

Thanks for the advice!

A thought struck me about the most northern docking area, near the walled area and next to the purple buildings. Most places where ships dock is in a port or harbor to protect it from currents or severe weather. There's no protection there, so there is likely something to make that dock worth it, like perhaps the wind and storms always come from the south or other side of the island, or it's magically protected perhaps, or something else. They could be just temporary docks, where ships dock, unload and leave again quickly. I don't know that much about harbors and ports. Anyway just a thought.

So often publishers give us cities without adventures. I struggle to put together adventures when given just a setting. I’m looking forward to this.
