The world of Aach’yn is a broken, shattered planet. Thousands of years ago, a cataclysm tore the planet asunder. As the planet split, a a powerful mage intervened. At the cusp of godhood, he traded ascension for salvation and was able to halt the destruction in situ. Now he is called the Autarch; the one who rules over the world that remains.

The Five Points has never lacked for gangs, but there was once a rough understanding among them, an acceptance that power belonged to those willing to fight for it and survive its burdens. That understanding begins to crumble when a wave of new gangs emerges from the district's crowded tenements and smoke-filled taverns, bringing with them unfamiliar ideas and dangerous ambitions. Among these newcomers are gunslingers, men and women who settle disputes with revolvers instead of fists, knives, or clubs, and whose reputation spreads with terrifying speed through the narrow streets. Yet the greatest change comes not from their weapons, but from their purpose. Claiming that the authorities have abandoned the people and that the old gangs have become selfish tyrants, these new factions establish their own form of street justice, holding public judgments against thieves, extortionists, and corrupt figures who prey upon the poor. Some hail them as heroes. Others call them vigilantes little better than the criminals they condemn. As crowds gather to witness these rough tribunals, tensions rise throughout the district. Established gangs see their authority challenged, politicians fear the loss of influence, and ordinary citizens begin questioning who truly governs the Five Points. Yet hidden beneath this movement lies a secret that threatens everything. The new gangs may not be independent reformers at all, but pieces of a larger design orchestrated by an unseen hand seeking to reshape the entire district.

The Five Points has always been a place where violence announces itself loudly, with shouted threats, broken bottles, and gangs eager to display their strength to anyone willing to watch. That changes with the arrival of a mysterious new organization known only through whispers and rumours. Unlike the street crews that dominate the district, these newcomers move with discipline and purpose. They wear no colours, claim no corners, and demand no tribute. Yet within days of their arrival, gang captains, informants, and political fixers begin disappearing from the streets. Some are found dead in locked rooms. Others simply vanish without a trace. Fear spreads faster than any epidemic. The crowded alleys, ramshackle boarding houses, and smoke-filled taverns of the Five Points become gripped by paranoia as nobody can identify the killers or predict their next target. Old rivalries are forgotten as gang leaders gather to discuss a threat unlike anything they have faced before. The authorities deny knowledge of the assassins, while secretly fearing they may be next. Yet the greatest mystery is not who the killers are, but why they have come. Their victims seem unconnected at first glance, but a hidden pattern slowly emerges. Someone has sent these elite assassins into the Five Points with a purpose far greater than murder, and as bodies continue to fall, you find yourself caught in a deadly struggle where knowledge is more valuable than gold and silence may be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Late Show

Once upon a time, there was a legendary bard, beloved by the people, who wielded wit and wisdom to entertain and enlighten the masses. For over a decade he made this theatre his home, a temple of culture from where he and his troupe amused audiences, with a reach far greater than anyone could have foreseen. He mocked the powerful, the prideful, and the foolish, but eventually the forces of greed and corruption prevailed against him. Is this where your heroes come in, to defend and protect the entertainer, or is it already too late? Available in two additional variants, as a plain stage and a generic talk show with no letters in lights, this map is a sign of the times. Meanwhile!

All are hooked up and ready to play in FVTT.

What's Included:

• 3 .jpg maps 40x40 (4000 x 4000)

FAQ:

Do these maps work with Roll20/Fantasy Grounds/XXX virtual tabletop?

You can import the JPG and WEBM files into any system you use to play your games online that allows them, however, the LoS I have setup only works with FVTT. If you use FGU, look for me on DMsGuild!

Catalytic Conchology Vol. I is a D&D 5.2.1 SRD supplement based on the naturalist James Sowerby's work Mineral Conchology of Great Britain and the fossilised shell illustrations contained within it. Each item presented in the book is designed based on Sowerby's illustrations and his records regarding the respective specimens. The primary goal is to transform a historical natural science study into unique, single-use materials that can be used at the gaming table.

Key Features & Mechanics

Wondrous Items: All fossils in the book have been prepared to be fully compatible with the D&D 5.2.1 SRD rules. Rather than functioning as standard equipment, every fossil is structured as a wondrous item requiring no attunement, operating under the Cast & Shell Duality mechanic.

Two-Stage Consumable: Each fossil in the book has two sequential uses and no more. The Shell — the outer, mineralised crust — must be activated first, producing immediate physical outcomes: damage, forced movement, area control, or structural destruction. Only then is the Cast unlocked: the petrified internal mold, delivering investigative, sensory, or tactical effects with specified action economy. No stage can be skipped. No fossil can be used twice.

Sequential Logic: Shell effects are activated as an action, bonus action, or reaction as specified in each entry. Cast effects produce short-duration magical outcomes, reveal hidden information, or alter the conditions of the environment.

For use with D&D 5.2.1 SRD.

Catalytic Conchology Vol. I is a Fate Condensed supplement based on the naturalist James Sowerby's work Mineral Conchology of Great Britain and the fossilised shell illustrations contained within it. Each item presented in the book is designed based on Sowerby's illustrations and his records regarding the respective specimens. The primary goal is to transform a historical natural science study into unique, single-use materials that can be used at the gaming table.

Key Features & Mechanics

Fractal Items: The "Fate Fractal" (Bronze Rule) principle was placed at the center of the design process. In line with this approach, the fossils in the book, rather than being standard pieces of equipment, are structured as individual "Item Sheets" operating under the Cast & Shell Duality mechanic.

Two-Stage Consumable: Each fossil in the book has two sequential uses and no more. The Shell — the outer, mineralised crust — is spent first, producing violent and immediate physical effects. Only then is the Cast unlocked: the petrified internal mold, delivering narrative, perceptive, and knowledge-based advantages. No stage can be skipped. No fossil can be used twice.

Sequential Logic: Shell effects are used for offense, hard defense, or overpowering physical obstacles. Cast effects are used for sensing danger, recalling ancient lore, shifting environmental conditions, or gaining situational advantages.

For use with Fate Condensed.
