The George and Dragon Inn - A 17th-Century Coaching Inn in Southwark, London
🕑 Added 2022-12-13 03:22:39 +0000 UTCThis map is based on a historic inn in Southwark, London. The establishment's original name was The George and Dragon, although it's known today as The George Inn. Personally, if it was up to me to abbreviate the name, I'd have kept the Dragon part and sent George packing, but I suppose that's not the way the owners decided to go with it. They did keep the dragon on the sign, at least.
The George and Dragon was originally a coaching inn, which is an inn designed to accommodate stagecoach travelers, with large stables and space for carriages. Not many coaching inns survived the transition from stagecoaches to train travel, but The George was fortunate enough to be close to London's railroad, which enabled it to stay in business. Lucky guy, that George.
I've gotten quite a few comments and messages with ideas about Tir Thelandira and the second civilization that will be living on the island. Tomorrow, I'll start working your ideas into 3 or 4 different proposals, which I'll put up for patrons to vote on.
Each of the proposals will be inspired by things you suggested and will probably contain suggestions put forth by several people. I won't be able to work everything in, but I do appreciate all of your contributions. Some ideas, like an aquatic civilization, won't make it onto the ballot, but I do absolutely want to include those in this world eventually.
Anyway, I'll get those ideas fleshed out and post a vote in the next day or two. After that, I'll be drawing the Barre Sinister, which is a Spelljammer-themed map that isn't actually a spelljammer. It's a tavern floating on a giant, stone hand that floats through space. So that should be a little something different. For those of you whose parties aren't capable of generating enough Delta-V to reach a place like that, I'll be making a sea version of the map as well.
All right, hope that sounds good. Let me know what you think of the map!
