A giant army camp [100x100] and a smaller army camp [70x70] and The dungeon of dreaming books [49x72]
🕑 Added 2023-07-20 09:10:12 +0000 UTCI am happy to present you a large army camp! There is also an older and somewhat smaller camp. Both are roughly based on the camps of the Roman army :)
Additionally I have an older dungeon here with the "Dungeon of Dreaming Books" inspired by the highly recommended Walter Moer's novel "The City of Dreaming Books"!
Army Camp Quest Tipps:
Lonely Infiltrate: Find a reason for an interesting sneak mission. Murdering the enemy army chief or poisoning the camp food allows setting up an adventure in which the heroes must sneak or deceive into the camp, complete their quest, and then escape again. Preferably with a whole army behind them.
Attack with an Army: Have your players charge large clusters of units at strategic locations against the camp. Give them different troop types, let them create a battle plan and give them the power to influence the course of the battle themselves as heroes and you'll have a very memorable session.
Defend: Same play as attack only with more desperation. Let the attacks spread over days. Add in problems like food supply, diseases, deserters and traitors and you quickly have an exciting plot.
Daily camp life: Maybe there isn't a big battle coming up, but your heroes are still here for jobs and now have to deal with camp life with matching quests. Treats the camp like a town with miniquests. Uncovering thieves, deserters and traitors, camp drama, conspiracies and more are possible without a major battle having to take place right away.

Monsters and dangers lurking in the Dungeon of Dreaming Books:
Centuries of underground hoarding and hiding of books, a gigantic cave system has developed into which only the bravest of all adventurers and book hunters dare. With this map you should be given the opportunity to discover a small part of the catacombs and to experience an adventure of books!
Living Books: Some claim to have seen books devour smaller mammals like rats. What no one can claim, since no one survived, is that they form swarms and devour their victims in a matter of seconds. Some are even supposed to fly!
Trap Books: Anyone who opens them will either be killed by fine mechanics, powerful curses or nasty contact poisons.
Legendary Books: While not all of these are inherently dangerous, the possessor will be quickly hunted down by the greedy scoundrels of the catacombs if it is known they have found such a book.
The monsters of the catacombs: From giant bookworms, disgusting blind giant spiders, the enemy bookhunters, to the legendary deadly Booklings.
Although he can actually be found in the book swamp, even the legendary book dragon could get found here. Its scales are made of books, and both its strength and cleverness are legendary.
The Shadow King also lives here. His skin is made of razor-sharp, impenetrable scraps of paper, and its victims often look like they've been caught in a knife-blade tornado.
With this map and inspiration I wish you a lot of fun and I invite you to explore the world of living books! :)
