Ruins of Mbala - maps and extra content for Tomb of Annihilation

ADD TO WISHLIST >

High above the dense jungles of Chult on a large plateau lies what’s left of the forgotten kingdom Mbala. These decrepit ruins holds dark secrets left uncovered. According to local legend, all that remains of Mbala is Nanny Pu'pu, a witch doctor with ancient magical powers. Old Nanny Pu’pu is secretly a hag who could prove to be an important ally to a group of heroes, or, if they are not useful or careful, a hungry, bloodthirsty foe.

This supplement to Tomb of Annihilation expands on the location of Mbala and the green hag Nanny Pu’pu. It is meant to make Mbala more exciting and manageable for both the DM and the players. The document includes: 

  • A Gorgeous Map of the Ruins of Mbala, which will give life to any encounter within the forgotten kingdom. 
  • Additional Adventure Hooks, providing the characters with a reason to travel to the ruins of Mbala. 
  • Random Encounters & Discoveries for Mbala, including an entirely new encounter location, the Crypt of the Last King, complete with its own encounter map. 
  • Expanded Pterafolk Nest, offering suggestions on how to run the pterafolk nest, as well a much-needed encounter map you can use when running the dangerous encounter! 
  • Expanded History & Lore, which elaborates on Mbala and Nanny Pu'pu's history, and foreshadows the Sewn Sisters in the Tomb of the Nine Gods. 
  • New Mundane & Magic Items – reward characters with mystical flora or give them mastery of the weather with the rain stick of Mbala!

Expect 4 to 6 hours of gameplay (in addition to what's presented in Tomb of Annihilation) for a party of 4 to 6 characters, levels 3 to 4.

Says map is too large for roll 20 :( makes me very sad. I don't know how to get around that problem.

Gregory,
I just added 70 pixels per inch versions of each of the maps, which should be a lot smaller in size so that you can use them on Roll20. If you re-download the files for this supplement, those smaller maps should now be included. :-)

I purchased this author’s other title Fall of Cyrog and wanted to see more of his content and was pleasantly surprised to find so much Tomb of Annihilation material. This supplement really expands the Mbala location. Maps are really important to my campaign and I thought the map in this adventure really brought the location to life. I also really enjoyed all of the lore that it added to Mbala to explain how Nanny Pu’pu got there in the first place. My players aren’t ready for Shilku or Nsi Wastes, but I’m planning to pick up Daniel’s other titles when the time comes if they’re as good as this one.

I found this lackluster. The map is poorly done. The expanded lore is a little boring.

Really enjoyed this resource for expanding Mbala! I will definitely be using the lore, maps, and encounters when my players reach it!

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.
