Mastow Wiki

Welcome to Mastow...
There lies a town, far off the edge of the known map. A town in isolation, Mastow, you've been told. Surrounded by the wilds. Nature controls these lands. Rigged mountains, vast forest, murky swamps filled with creatures most foul. Alas! You have come here, adventurer. To Mastow. You came with a reason, to make a name for yourself. Perhaps people will sing of your adventures far off, in the cities to the East or, perhaps, they'll only whisper of your demise.

Rules
These are the rules for the Mastow setting. Mastow is the setting for a West Marches-style, hex-crawl played with D&D 5e.

Here you can find the original guidelines to West Marches.

Locations in Mastow
Mastow is a small village with a population of less than 500. There is a central town surrounded by an old wall and a few hamlets and farmsteads surrounded the town proper. There are several key locations around the town. It is the players prerogative to build relations with local establishments to 'unlock' unique benefits and products.

Locations in the Wilds
There are many locations to discover out in the wilds. To inspire adventuring these locations are plentiful and most promise the reward of lost treasures but also house foul creatures.

The Moon Temple - Several Cultists of Lancinn and an Ogre were dispatched at this site.

Notice Board
Next to Cervantes' Accommodation, you notice a bulletin board out front on the porch. "Requests for Adventurers", it reads. The sign should warm your heart or play with a curiosity but don't forget the places you've already heard about! It's you're job as adventurers to keep track of locations and their important information.

"There's treasure, hunting and exploring to be had out in the great Wilds, beyond Mastow." - Redio Cervantes
