36 page illustrated PDF
Full-color, hand-drawn island map
8 unique regions with landmarks and tone
3 major cities (capital, port, forbidden academy)
Original monsters and environmental threats
System-agnostic design (D&D, Pathfinder, homebrew friendly)
Printable and tablet-friendly layout and map
BUILT FOR DUNGEON MASTERS WHO LIKE TO CREATE:
Most DMs don’t want someone else’s plot. They want a place that feels real but can be morphed into their characters, plots, and adventure tones.
The Greatspine Isles removes the hardest, most time-consuming parts of worldbuilding: naming regions, maintaining tone, designing geography, and keeping everything consistent. You bring your system, your heroes, and your stories. This book gives you a living world to put them in.
You can use one region, use one city, or drop the entire island into your campaign. It's your choice. There is potentially years worth of lore on this very island.
Do you want the adventure of the dwarven scholars learning forbidden magic through their battles with the dragons in the Greatspine Peaks?
Or perhaps the forbidden love of an elven boy saving his money to buy potions to travel and see the merfolk and that beautiful girl he met at the underwater market of Atlanti?
Or the lost sailors on the Isles of the Fogfalls who must cut their way out and make it back to sea.
The choices are yours!

The Greatspine Isles – Explorer’s Guide & Bestiary
Q: Is this compatible with D&D 5e?
A: Yes—but it’s intentionally system-agnostic. You can easily add stat blocks or reskin monsters for 5e, Pathfinder, or any other system.
Q: Does this include adventures or quests?
A: No. This is a setting guide, not an adventure module. It’s designed to inspire and support your own stories.
Q: Is this beginner-friendly for new DMs?
A: Absolutely. It’s especially useful if you want a ready-made world without needing to write one from scratch.
Q: Can I print this?
A: Yes! The PDF is print-friendly and works well on tablets too.
