This is really awesome. I used "The Nerastrim Manor" for my first adventure with brand new players, and as a brand new DM, it went really smoothly. There is a mistake with the son's name. His name is Joshua, and is referred to as such, but in the basement when you see his body, his name changes to Jacob.

Just figured I'd let you know. Thanks so much for making this Pay What you Want, it really is an incredibly useful tool. Thank you so much! I will make sure to get that typo fixed. Excellent material! I love what you've made so far and I appreciate that it's pay what you want. Are you planning on making a printer friendly version like you did with v1?

The yellowed pages are gonna suck so much ink and I would much prefer a printed copy. Do you have the latest version of the Toolkit? It should have white backgrounds so it is more printer friendly. I just wanted to say thank you for making these pay what you want. Currently due to the Wildfire near me in CA I can't pay for something this awesome, but wanted you to know that I will come back and purchase it when I get income again!!

Thanks for making it available to all! New DM here and I'm super excited to check this out. Only the cover is in color. The rest of the images within are in the style of sketches and are in black and white.

I had over 50 illustrations done and my art budget wasn't high enough to afford full-color illustrations throughout. For later projects, I may consider doing a Kickstarter to get some upfront funding to pay for such artwork. Thanks so much for the quick reply! My main reason for asking was because I was afraid of breaking my budget on ink when the time comes to print it out I assume I can print it from the PDF? Looking forward to digging in:. First of all, really think you are awesome for offering all that as pay what you want.

I have a question though if you don't mind. I'm looking at running a one shot soon hours , and I would like to know what levels and party size the one-shots are optimized for. My party will be around 3rd level and players big, I know. They find interesting NPCs the most fun. Are your one shots doable with this configuration and if so, which has your favourite NPC? Thanks for your time. The Showdown in Skalintown I think would work for your party really well. They are third level so I would use the 5th or 6th level version of the one-shot depending on how skilled they are in combat.

It is a wild west showdown with plenty of room for everyone to shine and requires the entire table to come together to plan and coordinate. He is a former member of the bandit group that is attacking the town so the party had some fun trying to decide whether or not they trusted him.

Hopefully I got back to you in time! Good luck! Hey, I make the product PWYW so even people without money can enjoy my work and have an awesome addition to their collection.

I hope you find the Toolkit helpful! When I open the document I see many blank sections and a few sections where the print is upside down and backwards. I'm using Adobe 9. Can you send a copy of the PDF you have to Nerzugal gmail.

I have been trying to find the root cause of the issue but I cannot recreate it on any of my devices with the current PDF that is downloaded for the product. I want to help out, but I don't know if it is an issue with the actual file or with the PDF viewers. I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but most of the text appears to be blending into the white background or not loading for some reason.

The text that is appearing is also upside down, which is new. Maybe I need to re-download the PDF? You can try redownloading and see if that helps, but this is the first I have heard of this error and I cannot seem to produce it myself.

I suppose it may also be a result of the PDF viewer. If you don't mind, you can send me an e-mail at Nerzugal gmail. Nerzugal's Extended Bestiary Average Rating: 7. Browse 3 Images ». Fantasy High Fantasy. Class Based Pilot, Wizard, Scientist, etc.
