Welcome to Paths Peculiar – an online resource for dungeon masters and fans of the fantasy and science fiction genres.
I publish hand-drawn maps (and sometimes drawing of other fantasic things) for use with roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and the various Old School Renaissance (OSR) games. The maps posted here are suitable for any game with a setting similar to the ones in such games.
Expedition Log – a journey through strange lands of myth and legend
Expedition Log is a fictional travel journal based on the works of an adventuring cartographer and explorer. It recounts the fortunes and misfortunes of a mysterious voyage in search of the legendary lost library.
The book is designed to function as an in-game artefact: a dusty old tome that the characters themselves might unearth hidden in an obscure library or remote dungeon. It can also be used as a GM tool to spark the imagination with tons of intriguing locations and adventure hooks. Or it can simply be read as a novel.
A5 dressed hardback encased in an embroidered cloth binding, 86 pages, high-quality print and paper, black & silver.
American customers can get Expedition Log at Exalted Funeral.
European customers can get Expedition Log at Games Omnivorous.
