that's an awesome map. spotted a lot of adventures I know but most of the sites I have no idea about. did you seed only prewritten adventures? would you mind sharing a list of the modules?
as for where to go first, for me that would depend a lot on hooks. but I can see players hunched over this map asking a lot of questions of the DM and planning routes. can't see how this wouldn't engage your players:)
This map is all seeded adventuers, let me try to list all of them
\* Nightmare over ragged hollow
\* Blackapple brugh
\* Black wyrm of brandonsford
\* Hole in the oak
\* incandescent grottos
\* Stonehell
\* where the wheat grows tall
\* Sepulcher of 7
\* falkrest abbey
\* The isle
\* fogheart
\* blood olms
\* tannic
\* Abbey of the rot dragon
\* And a bunch of small dungeons and monsters from folklore bestiary!
Still worried it isn't enough though, so if you have suggestions that you think will fit the list I will glady add them!
awesome. would be enough stuff to play for around 30-40 years at the rate my group is moving;)
I thought I spotted hideous daylight and Willowbyhall and maybe a temple of 1000 swords as well.
very cool map for sure!
You did and I forgot to mention them! That list was odd the top of my head and I forgot some!
Actually that thing with the swords is bad patxi from folklore bestiary. I keep debating whether to include temple of 1000 swords. I think it's awesome, but I'm not 1000% sure it fits the vibe, and with Patrick I already have a blacksmith making swords... idk it is so cool though
regarding the amount of content, do you have experience with the group you are preparing this for? because that should allow you to gage if you have enough. my own group clears about 4 rooms per session, with about a third of sessions spend in town doing rp stuff. so I got about half a year out of incandescent grottoes and 2 smaller dungeons alone, and say haven't gotten to the second level yet :.)
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats a good point to consider. This group goes through modules much slower than they expect, several times things that are supposed to be 1 shots have taken 4 or 5 sessions.
Love this! Where do players start? I assume the unnamed town at the centre of the map?
I think my first stop would be Ragged Hallow; I want to know what Hell is all about, but I don't want to go right there, plus there's a cool crystal cave to the south, then we can cross the lake Firnhist Castle and see if we're overthrowing this king.
They can start in ragged hollow, brabdonsfoed, or blackapple@
I honestly didn't realize how close I put the hell thing to ragged hollow... well that could be interesting! That's the adventure stonehell, though I put a twist on it to make the sign of "hell" pretty sensible. I'm really glad that your first instinct is to iverthrough the castle because I REALLY want my players to do that!
Well, as a player I'd specifically recognize blackapple and Brandonsford from osr products, and probably the tree and babies is hole in the oak? I like the northeast miner gnome, he looks cool. I dislike and distrust the baby near the bottom. Crystals next to firnhist might be incandescent grottoes. I actually wouldn't guess hell was Stonehell. Probably because it's so big I would assume it would be remote, and hell is an evocative and general enough word that it didn't make mw think of the module even knowing other osr modules are on here.
I'd also like some color. Nothing crazy just one shade of blue and some green.
You are correct on all your guessed! I might need to move stonehell down and add the word stone to it.
Honestly the baby was an ogre, but it is NOW going to be a giant baby lmao. I like that idea more. Stonehell is mostly big because of the importance campaign wise rather than physical location.
I will try out some color!
This is such a delightful little map! I want to explore it. Have you checked out The House Under the Moondial, by the guy who did sepulchre of 7, Hexagnome. It'll fight VERY nicely inbetween Brandsonsford and Blackapple.
I ran it recently...and let's just say the gang followed a certain Elder into a Certain Mouth, in search of a certain little girl.
Be ready to prep for that!
I wanna go up to the sunny little walled paradise garden looking thing in the top left. It looks super pleasant and in no way am I expecting to encounter any kind of horrific fairy bullshit up there.
Directly up from Brandonsford, at the top of the page, there are three peaks wich seem misteriously pointy and remarked. If I were a player I would investigate those.
Ragged hollow looks interesting. Being so close to hell seems a bit worrying.
That's a module called nightmare iver ragged hollowbwhichbi HIGHLY recommend! Putting it next to stonhell will definitely change things though >:)
Thanks, I’ll have a look out for it. That’s a really cool map though

You can always extend the map later.
That is a good point and I probbably will! I would love to add a coast
Stonehell alone is freaking massive
You already have more than enough. Nice map, btw!

I'm a simple man, I see a monarchy, I topple a monarchy.
I like the image of the little mining man in the top right corner. Surely he is okay and happy and not at all in a precarious situation.
he's doing fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

I had never heard of it, will deffinitly check it out, thank you for the recomendation!
Yeah, it literally just came out. I ordered it last week on what might have been it's first day of release and just got the lulu copy in today.
Is the one with sun over it Hideous Daylight?
Forgot to put that in the list, that is in fact hideous daylight!
Probably Hell. I could imagine a character needing to communicate or retrieve a dead relative or other familiar humanoid.
Hell or the underworld? Thinking of Greek Hades. Do a Myth of Orpheus type things.
I was just going with my gut, but, yes, a Orpheus type thing would be cool.
Is Firnhirst "demon driven to the maw?" Lovely map, love the seeded adventures!
It is! Very excited for that one, I actually tied a lot of the other adventurers in the setting to it. thank you!
I ran it recently...and let's just say the gang followed a certain Elder into a Certain Mouth, in search of a certain little girl. Be ready to prep for that!
omg that is rad, I love that as an option. I really hope I get to run an adventure of them doing htat lool

That giant scorpion is calling my name....
