Hello again, folks!
Today, I’m posting another aid for the Evil Hat game, “Masters of Umdaar.” Why? Two reasons:
- Paul Kießhauer’s did another Umdaar themed challenge. August’s challenge: a location!
- Today, “Masters of Umdaar” is one year old. My, how they grow up so fast!
Before I post my entry, a little inspiration:

A Low-Rez version- the originals are high-rez
Lately, I’ve been a huge fan of Frank Tuffler Jr.’s map series on patreon, and this one in particular caught my eye. He has a “normal water,” but the mystical “sea of stars” variant seemed perfect for an Umdaarian Land of Light. He’s got lots more (including a lot of urban & horror settings I want to use for Skeleton Crew), and you can unlock them for only $1. Also, Frank uses funds from the patreon to support Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
As my entry, I’m giving you another random chart. Why settle on one location, when you can have 225?
LANDS OF LIGHT
How to roll on this chart: for the first name, roll 4dF. For every + move to the right; for every -, move to the top.
For the last name, roll again. Do the same as above, but move down for every -.
– – – – | Quantum | ||||
– – – | Sky | Phantasmal | |||
– – | Ardent | Sylvan | Crystal | ||
– | Sparkling | Sacred | Hidden | Floating | |
0 | Silver | Golden | Living | Glacial | Lunar |
0 | + | + + | + + + | + + + + | |
0 | Reef | Abbey | Glade | Bastion | Tower |
– | Spires | Village | -opolis | Island | |
– – | Valley | Castle | Cathedral | ||
– – – | Stronghold | Mesa | |||
– – – – | Acropolis |
(Yes, this can mean that you end up with a Land of Light called “Floatingopolis” or “Hidden Valley.” You can always reroll, but I think it’s better to play it straight and see how long you can continue with a straight face.)
