What maps should I map? [July ‘21]

Gregory Simkins

I'm running an Isle-hopping sandbox campaign, so various Island varieties are always appreciated.

Did you see the Pirate hideout? The top levels are exactly that!

I'd love a treetop village set up over a road or a river. The place could have primitive traps to ambush people traveling below. Of course, there are ropes or vines to swing from platform to platform, in addition to rickety rope bridges.

Arabian Nights Pirate Ship across the sands!

Same principle, but different form.

Junk ship!

Would love some temperate coastal maps with a large area for coastal ship to ship combat.

Inside the big tent at a three-ring carnival. Variations (spooky/haunted) and the partner map showing the exterior of this circus are obvious. :) A prison designed to hold the most dangerous villain in the land, Kung Fu Panda style. A racetrack for axebeaks - or y'know, other ridable large flightless birds. A party in a manorhouse, complete with cake large enough to hide assassins in, a grand ballroom with a swingable chandelier, and a side bedroom loaded high with wrapped gifts. Perhaps the perfect place for a Clue-esque whodunnit murder. *(If only one vote is allowed, this one is mine.)*

So like a siege tower pirate ship!

I've always had this idea for a crazy pirate ship, but never went anywhere with it. The idea is a ship outfitted with a ram. Instead of the ram being at the water line, this one would be above the water line so that it breaches a hole in the side of the ship but doesn't risk the ship immediately sinking. Then behind the ram in place of the Forecastle, is a wooden structure much like that on a covered battering ram. It's opened to the front and back. It forms a tunnel where the pirates can then swarm into the lower decks of the other ship through the breach made when the ship rams another ship. I imagine a set of stairs under the covered area so the pirates on the ramming ship can get into the tunnel from below decks on their ship. There they can attack less prepared individuals and loot the enemy ship where they keep all the good stuff. Sure nothing realistic about it, but I only game in Fantasy settings, so for the most part anything that looks reasonable is good.

I'd love to do some. I'm assuming you mean for the RPG book by Andrew Kolb? If so, what locations would you want? Pick one and I'll add it to the next poll.

I've been loving the regional port maps, Havana and Port Royal are crucial for my current campaign. More of those would be great! I'd love to see some large port city like Liverpool.

I'd love to see some wide river assets. Small riverside docks, hidden cave entrance, rapids, a waterfall, overhanging bridge, wooden water traps, just to name some ideas.
