On a prime spot facing the harbor prominently rests the Dock Ward’s most celebrated and most expensive inn, the Golden Eel. The Golden Eel caters to the pleasure of the port’s wealthier clientele, particularly traveling merchants and rich nobles who come to sample its exquisite cuisine. It is also a favored spot of higher-ups within the local navy, who often rent its private conference room to discuss strategies over a fine cooked meal and imported brandy. For several generations now, the inn has been owned and operated by the Kval family. Immigrants from a neighboring land, they bought the establishment from the local navy and converted it from rundown barracks into a glorious inn. The current owner is Marcoso Kval.

Note: The original map of the Golden Eel Inn appears in 0one's Blueprints: The Great City—Dock Ward.

Welcome to 0one's Blueprints Backdrops!

This new set of products is based on 0one Games' popular 0one's Blueprints. In 0one's Blueprints Backdrops, you will find a fully developed version of one of the locations from the Blueprints line. The Backdrop features a complete description of the location, and its NPCs and monsters (if any), penned by one of our talented writers, and portrayed by skillful artists. You also get a simpler version of the map found in Blueprints and a complete detailed 3D map of the location. The 3D view will help you to visualize the area and better describe it to your players. You can even show it to them, if you wish.

The product is suitable for use with any fantasy RPG system. We have separated the d20 stats from the main text, allowing you to print out either a generic description or a fully d20-statted version. But the good stuff is just beginning.

This product takes full advantage of PDF technology, joining old-fashioned style with the most advanced electronic features. Using the exclusive "Rule the Dungeon" feature (look for a big blue and white button–don’t worry, it won’t print) you will be able to fully customize this product. For example, the 3D map can be changed to show only one floor, with or without walls, with or without furniture, or only an external view, and on and on, with many possible combinations!

This product has also been designed to help busy referees prepare adventures—or even single encounters. Instead of spending extra time scaling the encounters to your party, the d20 stats are scaled in three different versions, suitable for low, middle, and high levels of play, using a "Rule the Dungeon" button. This button lets you choose which level to play, changing all relevant text accordingly: monsters will scale, DCs and traps will change, and behaviors of the villains will change, all according to the level of play you choose.

WARNING: you must use Adobe Acrobat 6+ in order to use all the features of this product.
