December Map Theme
🕑 Added 2021-11-25 17:53:30 +0000 UTCHi all!
With Christmas music starting to leak into our media once again it must be nearly December which means it is time for a new map theme!
Our themes this month (and handy blurbs) are care of one of our most active patrons: Nep0muk, via Discord.
1 City Encounters
Looting a warehouse to steal something. A back alley where the party get's ambushed by some cutthroats. A crowded market where the party has to try to shadow a courier without getting noticed. A fancy hidden marketplace for smugglers and buyers and receivers of stolen goods. A mansion to break into.
2 Dens and lairs
Spice up some classic random encounter monsters. An owlbear lair. A cavern infested by gnolls. A rock formation surrounded by woods where some harpies nest. An underdark cavern lair for a basilisk just to name a few examples.
3 Woods and the feywild
A fairy fountain in the woods. A watch post guarded by wood elves (flets connected by rope bridges). The twisted garden of a hag including her hut. The lair of an adult green dragon in a abandoned tower or castle.
4 Crypts and ruins
Care for some grave robbing? Explore the lost laboratory of a dead archmage. Fight the banshee in the cursed and abandoned village nobody goes near and learn about it's history.

If you have any suggestions for maps to fit your chosen theme please put them in comments, it might just convince more people to vote for it. π
Cheers!

Jungles! Always jungles!

isn't it just! Normally I at least start planning the maps by now as I have a good idea of where it is going. But not this time!

This is tantalizingly close.
