Best of my Summer Camp Articles

Eryia is a month old now, and growing like a stink weed. It's the birthplace of humans, and it's been contaminated by magic dust that shortens peoples lives to about 30 years - definitely dystopian. I set it up to support a Daggerheart campaign that we're going to start in about a month - a first try with that gaming system.

If you care to explore Eryia in full, my full dossier of competition entry's are located at the link below - there is one article from Arrhynsia (Five), but everything else is my brand new world, and all the articles are linked so you can navigate pretty well once you get into it.

but the intent of this article is to give you the very best of my last month's work. So here goes my favorites:
