The Dwarven Smith's Tome

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The leading citizen of the village of Jarnborg is master weaponsmith Dane Bearclaw, who has set down the store of his expertise in a book. He wants to set down his vast knowledge for posterity, but while he lives, he also wants to keep his trade secrets his own. Visiting the village gives your players the chance to score some cool weapons, meet some colorful NPCs such as you have come to expect from Places by the Way — and to solve a mystery when the dwarven smith's tome goes missing! As if that wasn't bother enough, orc bandits are making the road between the village and the nearby mine that supplies it with iron ore too hot to travel.

The Dwarven Smith's Tome is published under the Open Game License. It does not specify a particular campaign setting, and it allows you to integrate it into your own campaign world by filling in various details. You can use it as a stand-alone module, or continue the adventure with the forthcoming Places by the Way #6, The Demon's Veins, in which your party will have the opportunity to save a reckless band of dwarves from the evil that their mining activity has unleased.

Places by the Way is a series of short modules created by veteran RPG writer and developer Douglas Sun for use with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Think of them as glittering mosaic tiles that you can drop into a campaign to provide your player characters with diverting side quests and memorable interludes while they follow the overall story arc. After all, a great campaign world is one in which memorable experiences can be had even in places found by the way.

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
