The Forgotten Place
🕑 Added 2024-03-23 20:53:28 +0000 UTCThe Forgotten Place is an ancient ruin unearthed from the sands. It's the perfect place for your party to do some archaeology, or-- perhaps-- some "archaeology." In case you're not aware of the difference between those two words, let me explain: the one with the quotes means grave-robbing.
I'd probably go with the second option in a D&D game. Brushing the dust off of pot shards to learn about the customs of ancient peoples may be morally and academically superior to scoring fat sacks of loot from a dead guy, but, well, moral superiority doesn't buy you full plate and a castle.
I also want to mention that some of you may have more use for half of this map than you do for the whole thing. Maybe you like the desert ruins, but you want them to lead down into a different dungeon. Or maybe you like the underground part, but you want to put it under an old cathedral. Either way, go for it. Mix and match. There are no rules in RPGs*.
Anyway, the next map will be the Goblin Queen's Carriage. This is going to be a giant carriage/war wagon that a tribe of goblins use as a mobile raiding camp. If you picture it looking like something out of Warhammer Fantasy, then we are very much on the same page. I think it'll be a map that offers a lot of fun possibilities. After that, I'll be getting started on the giant pit megadungeon that I've been talking about.
Well, that should do it for now. If anyone's got any ideas on what might be pulling the giant goblin carriage, let me know. I feel like horses would be boring, but a giant seems like a bit much. My best idea right now is yaks, so if you can top that, I'll consider it.
*There are multiple books full of rules in almost all RPGs.

Hi! I've looked into that and the answer is no for now, but that might change down the road. I'll have to see how much interest there would be in that.

Hi hi! Are we going to be seeing your stuff on the Moulinette cloud?

A mix feels totally right! Something like giant boars or hyenas also seem appropriate for goblins. Conflux Creatures has a bunch of good giant beasts if you are looking for variety.

Right, worgs! How could I forget about worgs? This is going to be a really big carriage, though, so it might require some extra-giant wolves.

Goblin’s are scavengers most of the time, so really there shouldn’t be one type of animal pulling the wagon, there should be 3-4 different types of animals. That or wolves, goblins tend to get associated with wolves a lot.
