The Auction House | Collaboration with Mik & Wewa
Added 2021-02-21 14:55:20 +0000 UTCThis week, I bring you a stellar map from my friends Mik & Wewa. This Victorian-style auction house is perfect for a bit of elite intrigue... or maybe your party just has a bunch of money to blow on some valuable items. It comes with a gridded and ungridded version, which are both provided below.
I first worked with this duo last Summer when Wewa provided the Enark map for my primer for Arkus. Now 6 months later, their Patreon has grown substantially. In addition to beautiful maps, they've got all sorts of written adventures and mechanics, plus their maps are Foundry ready. For this map in particular, they have an awesome set of mechanics that GMs can use to conduct auctions in game. I'm totally going to do a Final Fantasy-esque "purchase challenge" next time my players are in a wealthy city. Go grab that document over at their Patreon! You can also get a bunch of variants of this map, so if you want an auction house filled with toxic sludge, you can totally get that.
My track (aptly titled "The Auction House") is one of very few tracks I have that is appropriate for upper crust adventures. Wandering the fancy district of town, discussing with regal quest-givers, or... y'know, participating in an elite auction. It's calm and dignified: there really isn't an air of "actually capitalism is bad, and these rich people hate you" (which is very unlike me). Every once in a while, your party will encounter wealthy NPCs who don't immediately want them jailed for that unfathomable stench. If you want an even more ambient version, it's available at my Artist tier and up!
