From publisher blurb:
Welcome to the Free City of Vadashar: 2022 Annual, a comprehensive two-volume collection that includes all of ZealZaddy’s published content for the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition roleplaying game from the year 2022.
Volume I is comprised of our thirteen major non-player character (NPC) supplements and our two encounter packs. Each NPC contains a deep-dive into their backstory, current position or relation to the City of Vadashar, important connections throughout the city or the megacontinent of Zul, and guidance on how to integrate them into your campaign. The encounter packs have hundreds of encounters you can use in your urban campaign.
The Vadashar & the World of Zul setting for D&D combines a variety of fantasy motifs, environs, and elements: Sword and Sorcery of Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian, the city-based adventuring, politics, intrigue, and derring-do found in Scott Lynch’s “Gentleman Bastard” sequence, the fun and continuity of a shared urban-based universe of the “Thieves’ World” novels and stories, the carefree swashbuckling of Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser and Matthew Hughes’ Raffalon, and the modern science fiction horror of the “Alien” and “Prometheus” film franchises.
