Making good use of the creativity displayed on the AAW blog and collecting thematic material neatly together in one place, this is the first of a series talking about NaeraCull: the Hungering Jungle, part of the 'house' campaign world of Aventyr.
Extensively hyperlinked to the blog (and indeed the rest of their website), this first issue includes monsters, a magic item, a neat piece of gear, a haunt and some legends... all with a piratical theme. Worth a look if you make use of pirates and other such sea-dogs, wherever the seas they terrorise might happen to be!
The magical item - a seadog's eyepatch - is interesting and not overpowered, while the piece of equipment is quite innovative - called a triggersling, it hurls rocks when tripped and makes a neat mechanical trap. It may have been invented by pirates, but once word gets out all manner of folks will be wanting to use it.
This is a nice concept, if only that delving through blog posts can be tedious, especially as they get displaced by newer ones and you only half-remember an older one which you now want to use.
