Barking Alien Challenge day4: Is there a map?




Maps? yes i have maps
This is the empire of the monster kings before humanity.

The gnomes of chagrinspire repeated this in part but just took what they want with airships and ironclad ships only a thousand years ago




After the monster kings were killed by revolting barbarian and orc slaves there was an age of necromancy when humans stole forbidden lore of the past. There  was an elemental heresy also, but less succesful. 

Then humans rebuilt civilisation in the ruins of the elder horrors,
This campagn had players arive in logs after a great flood wiped out remnants of the old world.
They found a tribe, saved people, hunted, explored and eventually visited remnants of civilisations and saved them. Guys reached 20th Lv.


So a few thousand years later the Age of Exilon
We got to about 16 and I was dreming up CHagrinspire.
Ive run a few babylonian cthulhu RQ3 campaigns for over 12 years worth
this was my first overt fantasy version 



Exile Island Wilderness was made in 2012 for a campaign where i wrote my own retroclone from memory when sick. That was EMO and the start of this blog. Id played RQ3 and TSR marvel super heroes for 20 years before that. 



The second Empire, which wasted away fighting the construction of chagrinspire. 
As arcane technology advanced, Chagrinspire forces in airships plundered the world and took tributes, while the sailing ships overloaded with priests of the imperial church couldn't compete.


Simple hexcrawl map at start - feel free to use



When i lived in a game club and ninja dojo nightclub warhouse we played for years here.
Over years in game time the 3rd empire tried to recolonise briefly.

Nobody ever went to bloodsand beach despide my detailed post on it.
Players saw and smelled the whaling and sealing operations of the 99% man town of rejects from Shadelport (which they say is the worst city in the world) 



When I made lots of 3fold dungeon zines this is where I set them
Its the north east of continant and Chagrinspire just a bit off map to west
I plan to return here




These were part of a stratography based design theory i used a while with geomorphs and found online maps till players were sick of them and wanted to go shopping and sailing.

























Part of Anglerslund, where players arrive in a zine series I did for a year

Plenty more out there and my Flickr account too
