A peaceful beach arrayed with the elements of a small party. Someone here’s been enjoying themselves; what’s the occasion? Who got invited? More importantly, who WASN’T invited? Thieves? Challengers? An obnoxious rival? The players themselves? The rain?
Variants might provide alternative answers. An assassin. An antlion of great size — or perhaps a giant burrowing hermit grab.
Thoughts
This is aremakeof an old map of mine, of identical name! It’s been four years and I think it’s night-and-day how much improved the new versions are over the old, certainly in featureset.
Savannas don’t show up enough in peoples’ campaigns. Deserts get a rap as consisting entirely of dunes! The chaparral variants could be used as a desert coastline, if you wanted.
Contents
Beach Episode: A large sandy coastline with rolling waves & an intermittent dirt cliff.
Party: A small beach party being thrown on the beach! Are you invited, or are you crashing it?
Chaparral: A dry grassy shoreline dotted with poplar trees for an arid or desert climate.
Spring: Blooming cherry trees line the beach.
Cave: A sandy cave has been dug into the beach. For spring, chaparral, & grasslands.
Murder: A bloody mess. The body’s been discarded, washed away in the surf. Who did this? Who was killed? For all three biomes!
Night/Rain/Fog: For all applicable variants!
