Note: We make these icons for Worldographer, but they are PNG images with transparent backgrounds which will work with most image/map editors.

Each month Inkwell Ideas makes new icon sets to expand the options available for Inkwell Ideas's Worldographer software program through Patreon's website. (A way to sponsor ongoing projects for a small amount per creative work or month.) This icon set expands our popular "Ring Lord" icon set with more dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, deep ones and more!

This set has over 100 "point of interest" icons. Many are usually a fort, tower, castle, city, ruins, town, village, and capital for each of high elves, sea elves, wild elves, rock gnomes, forest gnomes, halflings, underground dwarves, and surface dwarves. Those same fort/tower/castles/city/etc. options also have 'floating' and 'walled' versions as well. Plus there are large, medium, and small settlements for Cthulhu-kin and Deep Ones. And there are some other odds and ends too like simple bridges and a Gate of Hell.

Further, each image has two versions--one light and one dark.  Use them to designate factions or pick the one that looks better for your map!

You may publish maps using these icons--see the license below.

Each image is a transparent PNG so it can be imported into many image and map editors, including Worldographer. (Worldographer has a paid version and a free version which limits some features.)

It’s not even a town—just a handful of stubborn buildings holding their ground against the dust. A saloon with a crooked sign. A healer’s shack with smoke curling from the chimney. A carpenter’s shed that smells of fresh-cut pine. A lonely pasture. A boarding house standing like a tired guardian over the valley. And into this quiet place comes you. No destiny. No prophecy. No gunfight on the horizon. Just the simple truth that every day asks something new of you—and every choice, no matter how small, leaves its mark. Chop wood. Haul water. Mend fences. Carry a message.

Dead Man’s Hand: Frontier Life — The Craftsman’s Path is a soft, story-rich expansion that brings a new kind of frontier experience to your DMH games. Instead of shootouts, storms, or high drama, this book focuses on the quiet work that shapes a community — mending fences, repairing door frames, carving gifts, patching roofs, and slowly becoming someone the valley relies on. Set in the gentle rhythms of Early Lantoen, this supplement lets you step into the life of a frontier maker: someone who learns through their hands, shapes their days through small improvements, and leaves a quiet mark on the world.

Backwater Town | Map Pack brings a gritty frontier settlement to life—an isolated hub of trade, crime, and survival on the edge of civilization. Perfect for space opera, sci-fi westerns, post-apocalyptic settings, or lawless border worlds, this collection captures the feel of a dusty town where smugglers, merchants, locals, and enforcers all collide.

Navigate narrow streets and shadowy interiors filled with opportunity and danger. From seedy cantinas and high-stakes casinos to crime lord headquarters and questionable lodging, every location is designed to support intrigue, negotiations, ambushes, and desperate last stands.

The town’s infrastructure includes farms, markets, landing pads, and merchant buildings, grounding the setting as a functioning settlement rather than a simple backdrop. Law and order—such as it is—can be found at the sheriff’s office, while flophouses, brothels, and hermit dwellings hint at the lives lived on the margins.

Each map is provided in arctic, desert, and grassland environments, allowing you to quickly re-theme the town for different worlds or climates. All locations are also included in both furnished and unfurnished versions, giving GMs full control over storytelling and customization.

Whether your players are laying low, cutting deals, hunting bounties, or igniting a local uprising, Backwater Town | Map Pack delivers a versatile, atmospheric settlement ready for adventure.

This version comes with complete line-of-sight setup, with walls, doors, and windows already placed.

Eons ago, vampires ruled a vast world spanning civilization.

Then they fell and became monstrous.

To reign in their excess, Helen of Troy joined forces with other ancient vampires to cast The Binding.

In May I Enter, you play vampires in the modern world who are Bound by various mythological weaknesses. In play you build relationships with individual humans to gain access to your powers, you explore the remains of ancient vaults left over from a chthonic vampire civilization, and you build projects designed to make the world a better place for humanity and vampires alike. You also encounter monstrous supernatural beings, including primordial vampires, the capricious Fae, and other horrors, like humanity.

May I Enter uses a heavily modified version of the Powered by the Apocalypse System, and focuses deeply on consent and respect. This is a hopepunk personal horror tabletop RPG.

Last Ride of the Campbell Gang

 

The barn doors blew inward as gunfire echoed across your homestead outside of town, splinters flying while you rolled behind the water trough and came up shooting. Shadows rushed the yard in the dim moonlight, Campbell riders moving, hooves and boots thudding, pistols flashing, until Maggie McCormac slid in beside you, snapping her shotgun shut and blasting a fence rail into kindling. Antoine Boucher vaulted the corral fence, firing on the move, and a horse screamed as it went down, pitching its rider into the dirt. You break cover, charging through smoke and dust, slamming one outlaw with the butt of your revolver, and taking out another at arm’s length as the barn lamp shattered overhead. As the last gunman fled into the dark, the yard fell silent except for hard breathing and the creaking of the barn doors, the fight over in seconds, but you know more hell was coming. Campbell is bringing it to you, or you’ll bring it for Campbell.

It’s time for their last ride.

It’s you and the townsfolk against the Campbell gang. Grab your guns and ammo and be prepared for a shootout!

If you want to make the town a typical Western town, nothing in the cards needs to be changed. If you want to make it a "Weird West" type environment, please do. Cattle Barons could be vampires. Mountain men could be werewolves. Widows could be witches or sorceresses. Gunslingers could be possessed dead. Gender and race are not biased; anyone can have a profession called for in the cards. Change as needed. Ultimately, it's up to you.

If you like the Dead Lands world of Savage Worlds from Pinnacle Entertainment, this is a perfect aid for playing their RPG.

 

Materials you will need.

You will need some simple items as follows:

• A Standard Deck of Playing Cards (with Jokers): I own several decks with different face card themes. You can use a standard deck or a unique one to play solo games with themes. Every card will have a different meaning as you draw one. They produce the adventures to start you on your way, a side quest, a discovery, how your character may feel, or people or creatures you will meet along the way.

• You will need a d6.

• Paper and pencil, or a writing program: I prefer a writing program or a spreadsheet to log in order to enter your ideas as you travel the world.

Now, before you begin, you have to decide who you are:

1. Are you a Sheriff, a US Marshall, a Bounty Hunter, or just fed up with lawlessness? What’s your gender? How long have you lived in town? What’s your race, and how are you viewed among the wild western town?

2. Choose Your Role: What firearm or blade are you skilled with? Are you a decent pugilist? What’s your moral code and standards? Any bad habits? A risk taker or risk avoider? How dedicated are you to protecting the helpless? Do you plan, or are you more spontaneous? Are you brave, realistic, or a coward trying to be better?

3. Prepare your Deck: Shuffle your deck of playing cards and place the stack face down.

With your character’s nature made, your role in the story selected, and your cards ready, it’s time to start your journey.

 

Gameplay:

Each card creates a new event or discovery for your character; make sure to chronicle them in order. A series of turns of fate may reflect on the card you have, two cards later.

*Special game play: do NOT shuffle the 2 Joker cards in with the rest of the deck. Put them aside for use during conflicts.*

1. Draw a single card at a time from the deck. Begin by drawing a card, specifically a Club suit, which sets you off on the adventure. Reshuffle the deck with the cards drawn before the first Club and continue.

2. The prompts below will tell you the card’s meaning by number and suit. Try to imagine the scene with all five senses.

3. Write your entry describing the moment using your senses. Imagine it’s a scene in a movie, comic, or novel, and play with it. Use that imagination!

4. After writing down your scene, draw the next card to continue your adventure. When you reach the end of the deck, you can either imagine going back to where you started or use it as a cliffhanger for your next story after you shuffle the deck. You just completed “Book One” of your adventure.

5. Even though this is a solo adventure, you can bring your friends along and have them as part of your group, and all of you write your part in the adventure separately. Careful, their character may not be trusted! Watch your back.

The Intention of this Zine. The Emberland setting (see the free EMBERLAND SETTING GUIDE and other zine supplements) are intended to be an evolving sandbox setting for emergent gameplay.

What is Happening in Hex 5-D: A giant has lost his baby. A fey queen has stolen him, and uses him to keep her mini-kingdom under her control. Her king is a trapped wizard. And a swamp is changing creatures into even worse versions of their monstrous selves. Use this zine (or any of the Emberland zines) to drop into an existing campaign or as an emergent story setting.

Emberland is a town, a jungle, and a region. More importantly, it is a sandbox filled with opportunities for adventure. Designed for emergent gameplay, the Emberland setting will provide adventure hooks, NPCs, factions, monsters, and adventures which will allow the adventurers to discover what they care about, who they want to stop, and how to go about it.
This zine (yes, the very zine you are reading right now!) focuses on hex 5-C: The Cursed Stone Bridge.
For more information about the Town of Emberland (including factions, history, NPCs, shops, trades-people, etc) check out the EMBERLAND SETTING GUIDE (available for free) on DRIVETHRURPG or HANGRYDWARFPRESS.COM.
Each zine will include a detailed breakdown of one hex in the Emberland Region. The breakdown will include additional rumors, random encounters, and new creatures or NPCs for that region. Points of interest will be mapped out and adventure hooks planted.
The “point-crawl” style of the hexes will identify points of interest that adventurers may wish to explore, and GMs are free to expand upon these points of interest as they see fit. They may drop adventures from other sources into a hex, or create their own, or rely on the random encounter tables and random dungeon generation.
Emberland is a region with hooks, rumors, and interlocking pieces (NPCs, histories, and factions) that will give an emergent adventure setting for players. As the players explore, they’ll find ways to make allies and enemies.
