Moonshae Isles Regional Guide

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Return to Where the Forgotten Realms Began!

 

Discover the mythic Moonshae Isles, the first published region of the Forgotten Realms. Now you can walk in the footsteps of Tristan and Robyn, sail the straits in dragon-head longships, look deep into the moonwells of the Earthmother, and feel the fury of Kazgoroth the Beast!

 

The Moonshaes Regional Guide is intended for use with Moonshae adventures published by Baldman Games for the Adventurers League. However, this guide can be used for Forgotten Realms games separate from the Adventures League or even for Celtic-inspired fantasy games outside the Realms!

 

This product includes:

  • Foreword by Douglas Niles, creator of the Moonshaes
  • An overview of the history, cultures, powers, and deities of the Moonshaes
  • A tour of the many islands of the Moonshaes
  • New player options including names, trinkets, and seven new backgrounds
  • New player organizations for your characters to join
  • Map of the Moonshaes by expert cartographer Mike Schley
  • Themed adventure logsheet for BMG’s Moonshae adventures
  • Cover by Emily Fiegenshuh. Interior Art by Sarah Shaw. Maps by Michael Schley

 

About Baldman Games

Baldman Games are gamers, DMs, and writers, who love D&D. We’ve been running shows since 2001 starting with small regional shows in NE Ohio (All Americon & MVC) and grew quickly to adding Origins in 2004 and Winter Fantasy/DDXP & Gencon in 2005. We added organized play to our plate in 2011 with Ashes of Athas – our in-house Dark Sun campaign. In 2014 we added PAX Prime to our plate and have expanded upon that in 2015. And in 2018, we introduced Season of the Rising Shadows for the Adventurer’s League, a series of adventurers set in the Moonshae Islands.

Quick question... I'm loving this Guide and the first (Moon trilogy) adventures, but does anyone have a summary of the appropriate levels and/or recommended play order for ALL the Baldman Games Moonshae adventures?

Probably a long shot but i recall a few articles p
In dragon and dungeon during 4e mentioning a group of Averial that live in the Cambro mountains who have some type of reference for Aurilandür. Any chance this has carried over into this product?

What era is this? Pre-unification (before the trilogies)? Unification (2E and 3E)? Shattered time (Amnians, werewolves, epic-level fae kingdom, etc.)?

Still adding it to my wishlist. :)

It is in final edit and review with DriveThru right now. Once done I will be able to order a copy for our team to review. Once that is done and approved it should be good to go.

They are being edited right now. Making a few changes/updates to them since they came out right before the S8 changes but we want them to be as easy to run in S8 and forward as we can. Hopefully in the next few weeks.

Any chance these adventures will be available during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales? Maybe all-in-one bundle?

I'm wanting to buy them, sight unseen, based solely on the quality of this Regional Guide.

Loving this book! I plan to create a ton of city maps for this region for my group. Do you have any suggestions as to where to look to get an accurate description of the towns and villages in this amazing region of FR?

Thanks! As far as I know, the only happens that exist for cities in the Moonshaes were in Halls of the High King and that was just for one of the towns. If this one sells well, we have plans to come up with another setting book that would drill down to that level and provide that information.

What kind of player content is in the book? Is it just the names, trinkets, and backgrounds, or are there additional things like class archetypes, magic items, feats, etc.

AL rules don't permit a regional guide to add anything that offers mechanical benefit such as the things you mentioned above. All of the content centers around enriching the story of the adventures in this region, as well as the character stories. So yes, there are names, trinkets, and backgrounds. In addition, there we have defined area organizations that invest the players in the stories. These orgs are tied to the backgrounds and locations that your characters may be from. They are similar to the factions, but there are more of them and they are rooted deeper into the culture of the region.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
