Underbridge

A new age of alchemy has brought with it rapid industrialization,
and the construction of enormous megacities that stretch
thousands of feet high.

Entire generations live, die, and build these cities
layer on top of layer, likely burying their own homes in
mazes of aqueducts, sewers, and bridges, never to see
the clear skies again.

In the overcity, nobles, elites, merchants, and the wealthy
practice a social facade of power, while adventurers,
soldiers, and thieves explore outside the strongholds
and bear witness to the strange and horrific, as sacrifices
for their employers.

However, in the undercity, communities begin to flourish,
ones that offer safehavens for the destitute, negelcted,
and "deviant scum" of the empire. For you, this place

is

UNDERBRIDGE

Although it is a brief moment of respite, the ever-watchful
eyes of constabulary, the slumlords, and monsters still
peer around every corner. And while they may offer
assistance, company, or even safety,

just remember,

YOUR WARDENS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!

What started originally as map and background art practice  gradually grew into something bigger and bigger, until it eventually became my project for Pride this year.

Underbridge is a splatter of queer ideas wrapped into a fantasy gay village, with sex, drugs, guns, and monsters, inspired by queer history, as well as mine and my own friends' experiences.

This is also a hub location intended to be used for downtime, with options for quests if you happen to go looking, because I'm that used to my players acting a jackass and flirting at taverns I thought I'd turn it into its own thing.

In underbridge you will find:
★ 2 d66 tables for Daylight and Nightlife events
★ 14 different location
★ 12 bizarre alcoholic beverages
★ 6 Special Coffees
★ 6 Arcane Spells & 6 Divine Spells
★ 4 Divine Patrons

★ 2 roll systems for nights out on the town
★ 2 roll systems for meeting both interesting and intimate someones
★ 12 simple quest prompts
★ 12 Odd Kinks that I speant way too much time on
