So yeah, as soon as +Dyson Logos posted up a work-in-progress pic of an unnamed island on G+, I started making a few notes. A bit of island real estate with 3-4 encounter areas - what's not to love?
Welcome to lovely Zorus Island, home to four different haunts...
Fungal Zombieland: Dyson's original post suggested an undead-overrun island. Yeah, we got a bad case of zombies here, folks.
Mutineers and Smugglers: Something is afoot with the island guards. Best to clandestinely investigate.
Sheeping: All the Doulough family wanted to do was raise sheep in peace. And now something is mucking that up....
Caretakers and Were-takers: Where'd that damned goat come from, and why won't it go away?!?
It's a big enough island, have all four things here.
ReplyDeleteI'd envisioned this as a small (1x3mile?) island with single challenge - but you're right. No reason we can't have mutineers (one of whom is secretly a were-goat) in the tower beset by zombies while a sea serpent eats sheep.
ReplyDeleteOne thing Dyson's 6 mile hex experiments, and looking at realistic medieval distances, have done is help me realize how much stuff can be within "walking distance" in the post apocalyptic D&D implied setting.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Traveling in Europe or even in the US east, there is a town every six miles...
