Lanthorn 2.0 (and 400 Up!)
🕑 Added 2018-08-10 06:57:06 +0000 UTC Next week, Raging Swan Press releases Village Backdrop: Lanthorn 2.0 by yours truly.Before I get into that, though, I'm delighted to report we are now 400 strong! That's absolutely epic and I can't tell you how happy and proud this makes me. Thank you all for sticking with Raging Swan Press and helping us design the kind of supplements we've become well known for.
Anyway, on with Lanthorn!
Village Backdrop: Lanthorn 2.0
When Pathfinder 2e was announced a couple of months ago, one of the most controversial parts of the rules was the inclusion of goblins as a playable race. While I'm still not sure goblin PCs have a place in a "normal" campaign I don't see why they can't be fun additions to one designed from the ground up to include them.
Hence Lanthorn 2.0. I originally wrote Lanthorn a couple of years ago, and the announcement of Pathfinder 2e seemed like the perfect opportunity to expand the village (something I'd wanted to do when I originally wrote it, but which I'd run out of time and space to achieve).
I hope you enjoy Lanthorn and you can find a place for it in your campaign. (And--a special heads up--I've started designing the complimentary dwarven village of Azagrin; I've got vague thoughts and hopes of releasing a mini-campaign setting around the two villages; Azagrin will release in December).
Lanthorn comes in Pathfinder, 5e and System Neutral Edition "flavours" and features new artwork from Matt Morrow as well as an extra four pages of new detail.
About Lanthorn
High up in the mountains, and often besieged by packs of murderous trolls, the village of Lanthorn stands as civilisation’s last glimmering light in an otherwise bleak and barren mountain range. A strange alliance of wizards—the Grand Conclave of Sublime Artificers—and a gaggle of (almost) civilised goblins—the Flaming Skull tribe—dwells in a bizarre atmosphere that is both scholarly and anarchic. Protected by high walls and gigantic magical lanterns imbued with potent fire magic, the wizards craft the mundane and wondrous items for which they are famed. Without the walls brave—or foolhardy—goblin “miners” search the nearby troll-haunted mines for lead and silver—some of which is reputed to have magical properties.
This updated edition of Village Backdrop: Lanthorn comprises several extra pages of new material along with notes on playing goblin characters!
