Richly atmospheric and dramatic old school style adventure with beautiful isometric map. I ended up hacking together a 5e conversion just because I wanted to use the maps and the richly imagined world in which the adventure is set. Roan Studio has a really distinctive style that I love -- one of my favourite producers of stuff linked to the Bay of Spirits setting. The more you use the setting or elements, the more that you can get out of each of the publications. Not only do you have typical stuff like deities, factions, and richly imagined NPCs, you also get plants, small animals, locally-produced spirits... It's just a breathing, buzzing world imagined down to charming details.

The Bay of Spirits is thick on atmosphere, so elegantly detailed and heartfelt that it feels like a real place. I felt like I was visiting a friend of the family when I read this, and very much understood how the creator's experience of living in Newfoundland affected the design.

It's a mix of old school playing aesthetics with a low magic, richly imagined world. I've adapted parts into a 5e campaign that I DM just because I love the art and maps so much, but the aesthetic and construction lend itself best to a West Marches or point-crawl style of play, with players who become curious about this detailed setting.

I can't recommend it too highly. There's familiar monsters re-imagined, but more than that, there are NPCs and communities that feel so real that you can see their breath turning to mist as they tell you their stories and warn you about the trail ahead.

One of my favorite micro-settings of all time. Very highly recommended. Great visual and sense of place.

Very fun as an art piece, but not easily usable at the table. I am very partial to this creator and his products, but there are portions of this piece that I find hard to read visually and would have difficulty using at the table. That said it is visually impressive and I can imagine it being source of great adventures even though it is tough to read in spots.

Great Artwork, rules free onepage adventure with a realy cool idea!

A great looking and feeling map that oozes personality. Ideas of monsters and treasures to the stock the dungeon with come to mind immediately. However, and this is why I gave 3 stars instead of 5, the dungeon layout is not spectacular; in particular, the dungeon is fairly linear in design and doesn't seem to allow for much in-game exploratory "surprises" (ie, discovering a secret path, having multiple entrances to the dungeon, etc.) To Roan Studio: keep up the great work, but consider reading about "Jacquaying", which will up the quality of your work (IMHO).

I stubbled accross these titles when a Google search for a map lead to the author's/illustrator's DTRPG store. I immediately fell inlove with the Bay of Spirits, a setting not too different but amazingly more fleshed out than my own. I bought the entire catalouge and have been steadily incorporating the setting into my own.

What I love about it the most is how fleshed out the little things are, like villagers, various unique products, and how the geography influences the people who live there. When I learned the author was from Newfoundland (and a fellow Canadian), it made a lot more sense. Having been to Newfoundland and falling in love with the land there, reading these suppliments makes me want to return.

Love this product, the art and the visuals are spectacular, there are a lot of hooks without a lot of system baggage. No obligatory, prestige class to fluff up the page count, just good info to get your GM or DM mind turning over the possibilities for adventures.

I love this product. Randy's maps are so evocative. Noticing his maps over on a fantasy google plus group, that led me to Jaunt: Hinterlands: a Guide to the Wilds. I was looking for a northern clime setting for a six-gun and sorcery setting. This fit the bill to a tee. Great artwork is studded throughout the pdf. Some really great flavor for a fairly unique setting. One illustration was used immediately as in the backstory of the characters, they were caught in a blizzard as kids. A great cutaway illustration by Randy of a snow shelter was perfect and the player who had a young builder/smith prodigy exclaimed "I built that!", cementing such great flavor in the game.

Can't recommend enough.

Looks absolutely gorgeous. Not sure how I'll use this in my game (can't really print anything this long, although I might not even need to) but it serves as a wonderful source of inspiration, at least. Maybe make a few horizontal maps, to change things up a bit? Anyways, really nice map with an old feel to it.

Fantastic art, great setting, Bay of Spirits and related modules provide depth and richness to the fabric of any game world, and can stand on their own! I can't say enough about them - purchased the entire catalog. More than worth the money, and that stands true for all of it. Posting this to all the Roan Studios products on DriveThruRPG.
