This is the map I made up in Hexographer for our game tonight. I let it randomly generate an 18x20 hex map, and then just plopped the stuff in “Prepare Thyself” down in regions that made sense. I will admit that some of the city/town names are silly! I’m hoping I can plug it into Middarmark when that is done.
I like it, and it’s very old school. The Skein River looks impossible, though. Syranoth is in a mountain range, and it looks like the Skein flows up into the range and then back down into the Sandow Sea.
I used to be suspicious of rivers flowing through mountain ranges until I moved to Portland OR, though from back East, the New River flows through the Appalachians for another example. Then there’s Natural Tunnel State Park in Virginia where the river bore a hole through a ridge.
Caves and crevasses guys! I’m figuring the river flows through some good underground channels and crap like that. I have some ideas for some boat/river-based, underground adventures.
