Gamblers' Key - A Pirate Fortress and Casino
🕑 Added 2021-09-13 04:08:56 +0000 UTCGambler's Key is a pirate lord's fortress with a casino in the front and a loading bay for pirates to drop off their plundered cargo in the rear. It's sort of the opposite of a mullet: a party in the front, business in the back. Well, I guess it depends which side you consider the front, but... whatever, let's not overthink it.
Ryan, who proposed this map to the Cartographic Congress, asked me to make a token of this as well. Basically, the token is for inserting the island onto a sea map in which the party's ship is 1-2 tiles in size. Anyway, you're all welcome to it as well and you can download it below.
The other week, I talked about drawing a map of Fort Bourtange, a star fort in the Netherlands. I want to get that started fairly soon, so here's the plan: I want to get a Black Loch map drawn this month, so I'm going to do that next. I'll be drawing the "secluded manse," which is the home of a powerful wizard living on the island of Driders' Rock.
After that, I'll be drawing last month's Cartographic Congress winner: a floating, thirteen-level tower dedicated to magical experiments and research with a dock for airships. And then I'll be drawing Fort Bourtange. I'd like to get started on it around the beginning of next month, but we'll see how long the other two maps take. Sound good? I hope so.
Anyway, let me know what you think of Gamblers' Key!
There's an annotated version of this map and DM notes available to patrons.
