World of the Coiled Crown • The Well of Bones

A dread location for all fantasy RPGs.

Dr Krowe's talking head

Greetings, weary traveller. I am Dr Krowe, your humble guide to The Coiled Crown, an expanding line of system-agnostic supplements from Rookery Publications.

Join me as we take a tour of a glorious crypt unlike any other. But be careful. No matter how things appear, its bone-lined halls are not empty. Something stirs within the Well of Bones...

Rookery Publications is proud to present The Well of Bones, a new location for all fantasy roleplaying games. Created by multi-award-winning games industry veterans Graeme Davis, Mark Gibbons, Andy Law, Lindsay Law, and Andy Leask, The Well of Bones includes:

  • A 21-page Location. A richly detailed, wonderfully creepy ossuary that can be added to any settlement in your setting of choice.
  • An In-depth History. An overview of the Well's history, from its horrific founding to the present day.
  • A Detailed Description. A breakdown of the Well's interior with two keyed maps, taking you from the ceremonial galleries above down to the dark well below.
  • The Sorrowers. An examination of the Sorrowful Order of the Grateful Dead, the order of morticians that inhabits the well. The Sorrowful order can be used to add a fresh perspective to the death practices in your game, with poems, NPC descriptions, 'Veils of Tears', and even suggestions for how to include PC Sorrowers in your setting.
  • Adventure Hooks. 6 adventure hooks exploring the darkest secrets of the Well, ensuring the location can be incorporated into your games with ease and revisited many times.
NEW CONTENT! 13th January, 2022
  • Two Map Packs. Two 5-page map packs containing all the Well's glorious maps at a high resolution, both with and without labels. The first pack contains the original, unedited maps. The second pack contains printer-friendly versions.

Looks cool! Is there a chance to have the maps in black and white, more printer friendly, without the beige(?) background? At least those without numbering, so they can be printed, shown to players and scribbled upon during the game :)

Hi Bartlomiej,
Thanks for your suggestion (and the compliment - very glad to hear you like the look of it!). It's a good idea to have printer-friendly versions for maps, so we will make sure that is built into products in future. For this one, I've asked the team to have a look at converting it, and so you should get a notification through Drivethru when the file is updated.
Thanks again,
Lindsay

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.
