Under The Bridge Downtown...

Underbridge is a queer dark fantasy hub setting by Xkalayd. It's pay what you want and written for Old-School Essentials. Your mileage using this one will vary. Especially because it deals with some hard real world topics like marginalization, bigotry, addiction, and police brutality.  Page two includes a content warning, which I appreciate. That being said, I thought it was interesting and wanted to share. 

The default setting for Underbridge is a city where an alchemical revolution has lead to the formation of megacities. Underbridge is the undercity literally built under a bridge. It is home to the "deviant scum" of the nation. 

There are 12 plus locations. In these locations there are new spells, adventure hooks, substances to take, and a lot of intrigue. There are 12 important personalities/creatures. While no stats are given, there are equivalents. For example, the Sauna Salamander of the Black Mass has the same stats as a black dragon. The humanoids are classed characters. A nice feature is there are basic and advanced suggestions given for each. Ope Andrews, the Host of the Hall, is a magic-user if you just have Basic OSE, but if you have the Advanced version he's an illusionist. They are fleshed quite a bit too. We're presented with how they're seen, how they perceive the others, and what makes them tick.

If you couldn’t tell this one is left leaning. Beyond all of the LGBTQ+ representation, there’s a lot of mention of revolutionaries and manifestos. Additionally one of the main villains is a slumlord and cops are a common foes. While the class is a champion of nature, the Mud Wizard class seems appropriate for this mini-setting.

There's definitely some weird stuff here. Need 12 fantasy kinks with dynamics, history, and legality? Most folks are gonna say no, and that's okay. However, some people might find it interesting. I mean I do, even if I probably won't ever use it in a game. 

The pdf also isn't the easiest to read. The background is dark and the text is a blue-ish color. You're not going to be able to print this one out. I also don't care for the fact that the first couple of pages are in portrait, but a majority is in landscape. That last bit is just a personal quibble. 

Ultimately if you aren't offended by counter culture stuff and like material with a queer aesthetic, I think this could be a great resource to help flesh out a city (even if you don't go the alchemical megacity route).
