Adventures in Cromspoint
Adventures in Cromspoint
The game takes place in Cromspoint, pictured here. I BELIEVE that Zzarchov is creating the hexmaps for these campaigns using a random map generator, and adjusting it to his taste. This is my interpretation of the campaign map as it stood in year 11 of the campaign (we are just starting year 13 next session – we have one session per season, 4 sessions per year).
I won’t add much more detail about the campaign, and what we are doing in it, as at least one member of the other group will be reading this.

Temple of the Mad Titan
Temple of the Mad Titan
But for the Temple of the Mad Titan, 10 feet per square just isn’t going to cut it. Let’s crank this one up to 20 or maybe even 50 feet. A structure of Brobdingnagian proportions, the temple is made of almost inconceivably large blocks of stone and rests atop a massive cloud. At the heart of this immense structure is the throne of the mad titan.
But he is rarely found there – but always nearby. He is bound to the throne by magical chains that give him some freedom of movement within the structure, but not quite enough to get to the massive entrance and thus he is trapped here with freedom always just in sight. Some days he stands in the great hall in front of the heart chamber and raves against his captors and the world. On bad days he will hide behind the throne or in one of the nearby alcoves, hiding from the light of day and the fresh air.

Beneath Rose Point Manor
Beneath Rose Point Manor
The pair of iron doors that lead to the catacombs are both rusted and long unused – the first is in exceptionally bad shape having held the fire back on the night that most of the line of Heare was lost. The locks are seized and will take significant oiling and care to make them work again.
The basement contains the usual things you expect to find in such a place – odds and ends from the manor above, a rack of wine, a few pieces of old furniture, and some supplies for potential repairs. Other spaces of note are a small side room set up as a sort of memorial shrine to the bloodline of Heare concealed behind a bookcase, and the manor’s cistern.
The lower catacombs were used as a family crypt and a secret chamber beyond the rough catacomb tunnels is decorated with carvings of deeds and people from the long line of Heare.

Rose Point Manor
The original manor was a much grander affair, but burned down nearly 200 years ago. The new manor was built over the same foundations, and if you were to find your way into the basement, the stairs down are still cracked and charred from that night when most of the line of Heare was lost.
Rose Point Manor
The new manor is almost entirely made of stone – even the elegantly painted window shutters are made of thin slate, and much of the furniture is made of iron and steel. The elven lord of the house, Krennheon Heare, is somber and keeps much to themself, spending most of their time in study and contemplation of the arcane and the past greatness of their lineage. Occasionally guests are admitted to the manor to discuss matters of history or arcane legend – usually in the sitting room with the bay windows at the front of the structure, and occasionally back to the dining room where ancient brandies are shared over even more ancient tales.

Vault of the Blue Golem
The doors open twice every 6-9 months. Once to allow the Blue Golem into the crater to begin its wandering, and once again exactly 10 days later when the Blue Golem returns.
Vault of the Blue Golem
The Blue Golem walks the lands nearby seemingly at random for those ten days – usually just walking from one place to another and then moving on to the next. On rare occasion the golem stops to collect something small and place it in a box build into its shoulder. Usually this is a plant or a small animal, but of course tales include it kidnapping children or seeming to want specific body parts from those that come too near.

Quantiques, jdr cyber-SF
Le jeu de rôle cyberpunk et de science-fiction mais pas seulement.
Altérez la réalité mais gare aux ruptures de la trame du réel.
Dans Quantiques – réalité altérée, l’univers et le système de jeu ne font qu’un. En jouant l’on y met en place une forme de narration inédite et immersive. Les joueurs pourront utiliser du quantum et ainsi intervenir sur le cours de l’histoire prévue par le meneur. La narration y a été pensée pour que les joueurs y prennent part de manière fluide et que l’histoire ne perde rien de sa cohérence.
Je suis né au firmament,
et dans mon rêve d’exploration,
j’ai découvert l’infini.
– Proxima Dent, pilote du prométhée –
En 2 399 la nouvelle humanité a colonisé la quasi-totalité du système solaire. Toutes les planètes de Solaris, les planètes naines, les ceintures d’astéroïdes et même certains astéroïdes géocroiseurs sont habités. Chaque astre connaît sa propre dystopie et la nouvelle humanité est plurielle (Néo-sapiens, Gaïans, Sélénites, Stellaires, Androïdes et Homo-metallicus se côtoient loin des terribles Cryptides).
Dans son expansion elle se trouve confrontée à de nouvelles formes de vies, les Quantiques, des créatures ancestrales. Dans l’ombre, leurs serviteurs sont légions et les néo-humains les servent par milliards à leur insu. Leurs armes sont puissantes et sournoises : la manipulation de la physique quantique, le complot, l’emprise psychologique et les dissensions sociales. Une guerre secrète s’est mise en place, elle est le jeu favori de ces immortels qui se disputent le pouvoir.
Les personnages-joueurs jouent des NovQuantas qui luttent contre les Quantiques et prennent part à cette guerre qui mènera au dernier jour de l’univers. Ils sont à un niveau supérieur sur l’échelle de l’évolution, s’adaptent pour survivre, et luttent pour le maintien de la réalité pour protéger le libre arbitre d’une humanité nouvelle.
Le système est constitué de règles de base simples, ne recquérant qu’un d10 par joueur, et de modules complémentaires indépendants les uns des autres. Ils pourront à l’envie être utilisés en association ou isolement. Le meneur de jeu peut donc choisir les règles qui lui correspondent, ainsi qu’à ses joueurs.

Strange Ruins at Karst Ford
Overlooking Karst Ford is an unusual ruined “palace”. One side has raised open stone structures that appear to be meant to serve as decorative “gardens” or similar, with the structure itself being some nonsensical series of halls and small rooms centred around a circular chamber that was maybe the base of a tower at one point.
Strange Ruins
A few efforts have been made over the years to use the structure as a garrison or guard post along the river, and the circular chamber still has wooden scaffolding within it leading up to the ruined upper level of the structure – probably intended to be used to reconstruct a wooden watch tower over the palace.

Release the Kraken on Izzel’s Folly
The votes for January’s “Release the Kraken” have brought out a more recent map for commercial re-release: The Many Chambers of Izzel’s Folly
A dense complex of odd chambers and nonsensical halls, Izzel’s Folly is home to at least one foul fiend normally only found in the third glaucous hell and is in turn overrun with foul little humanoids that seem to spontaneously erupt through from their particular hell to accompany (and feed) the fiend.
The Many Chambers of Izzet’s Folly
Izzel originally built this as part of a larger structure in their research into summoning forth the many alchemical salts of the yellow hells – but at some point everything went wrong. The surface structures are all destroyed and all that remains are these underground areas which were once painted in all imaginable shades of yellow, but which are now a pale blue-grey (and occasionally green-grey where the brightest yellows still cling).
The structures down here include a variety of pseudo-temples (to contact the residents of the yellow hells), strange metamagical machineries, workspaces, grand halls, secret chambers, and even a chamber completely divorced from the rest of the structure, only reachable through passwall, teleportation, and similar magics.
And of course, many foul little demonic beasts.

Release the Kraken – Cliffstable on Kerstal
Lets set the time machine for 2014 and grab an old city map for the first commercial re-release of 2019. Welcome to Cliffstable on Kerstal – a small city that has gradually grown up where the Brown Goblin River meets the Kerstal.
The original name of the settlement goes back to when a single horse breeder maintained a stable on the raised cliff area in the south-eastern shore. Travellers and traders would come by the Cliff Stables to acquire excellent and affordable horses. While there is still a small horse trade in the region, the city is more of an agricultural and trading community in the current era.
Cliffstable on Kerstal
There are two open-air markets in the city – Hillside Market in the north within the walls of the city proper (which often has a very festival-type atmosphere and sells all sorts of handcrafts, foods and treats) and Citadel Market on the cliff itself which deals more in livestock, grains, and larger trade goods.
This map was the result of waiting for two different medical appointments in one day. It was drawn in one of my little (4″ x 6″) dollar store mapping books using a Sakura Micron 005 pen. It’s very very small.
Because of the small size of the original, the lines in the finished piece are a bit rough when you zoom in on the map.

Mayer’s Fort
Mayer’s Fort
Mayer’s Fort lacks an inn or tavern, and instead social life in the small community centres around the open garden at the monastery (the H-shaped building in the bottom middle of the map) and the bakery across the road from it.
With only 150 people, and a nobleman’s keep here, there are very few visitors that need a place to stay who don’t either already know someone in town (that they have probably come to trade with), or who have high enough social standing to seek the lord’s hospitality.
On the other hand, the town is high-brow enough to offer a magic shop (not where you buy magic items, but where you can get spell components, foci, and the other things that wizards, druids, and clerics shop for), a bookbinder, and an illuminator – all based out of the monastery and the building just southeast of it.

Dry River Caves
Dry River Caves
Broken up into multiple elevations throughout, these caves have been home to beasts and men alike seeking water and refuge from the badlands. Now they are home to Mohkath, a reclusive mantisfolk necromancer. He uses the space to study and is attended to (and defended by) a very strange assortment of animated giant beetles and skeletal constructs.
Some locals are happy to have a potent wizard nearby, even if it is a creepy one. They bring Mohkath offerings of food and skeletal remains in order to try to curry his favour in case they ever need his intervention in local affairs. But most are wary of a necromancer living nearby – and more than a few would sleep much better at night should someone take care of the whole “bug necromancer” issue.

The Warlock of Firetop Mountain Combined
The Complete Warlock of Firetop Mountain
After posting the two maps I drew of Firetop Mountain – I put the two of them together to get a full view of the area. When viewed together I wish I had tightened up the maze area a bit more as the two sides of the river feel VERY different from each other – moreso than they do in play (although if you trigger any of the teleporters on the north side, it gets a LOT harder to gauge the total size of that area).
Regardless, I’m quite happy with this. This is the map I wish I had made 36 years ago when I first stepped foot into Firetop Mountain.
(Source: Dyson’s Dodecahedron)
…and the Warlock
Once you have crossed the underground river (across the rickety bridge, by boat, or swimming in piranha and crocodile infested waters), the areas under Firetop Mountain feel… different. Where the earlier portions contained many guards, once you get past the immediate structures around the beach, the dungeons become winding, confusing, and home to wandering patrols. Many secret doors here are one-way affairs and dead-ends often have teleport traps instead of secret passages…
Firetop Mountain – North
It is thus a great relief to stumble into the final caves, only to discover that before you even face the Warlock in order to get to his treasure, you must deal with a fierce dragon that lairs in the cavern.
Through dozens of playings of the Warlock of Firetop Mountain, I only got through the maze a few times before giving up (often because I was playing it at school during a break). You could navigate the rest of the book without a map, but if you failed to map this section, you were effectively wandering blind – doubly so if you made the mistake of triggering one of the teleportation traps.
So last month I finally sat down and navigated every bend, dead-end, secret door, nook, and cranny of the maze. In my head the maze was small – maybe 1/4 the size it appears here. But getting the corridors to fit together well ended up stretching them out significantly until the north side map was nearly as big as the (much more densely populated) south side.

Firetop Mountain…
The very mountain is menacing – it seems to have been savaged by the claws of a massive beast. Not an actual volcano, the top of the mountain is covered in strange red vegetation that gives it its name.
This is the setting of the first of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone – The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. I got a copy of this book some time in 1982 and fell in love with the rich detailed illustrations of Russ Nicholson throughout and the mix of RPG game elements into a choose your own adventure book.
Firetop Mountain Map – South
Through dozens of playthroughs, I only actually finished the adventure once – I even have an instinctive routing through the dungeons following the right-hand path to the bridge over the river – but I have thoroughly explored the passages and rooms leading up to that river. It was on the other side of the underground river that my adventures routinely went wrong.
Last month, I finally sat down with the old tattered book and gave it another run – this time marking every choice, every room, and every passage. It took me a day to complete this map of the southern half of the dungeons – everything up to the underground river.
Now I just need to map the chambers on the other side, and the maze between them and the warlock himself…

The Seven Spires
The Seven Spires
The small castle was used officially as a research space for the wizard-noble, but also served as an escape from court politics in the young war-based nation of Phalorm, and as a watch point over the growing orc menace in the region. Being fairly close to the settlement of Neverwinter, ties were maintained with that growing settlement and information about the movement of the orcs was exchanged.
The Seven Spires were unfortunately built on a dirt plain where bedrock was too deep to dig down to. In time this means the spires are doomed to slow collapse as the weight of the towers presses down and outwards on the foundations.
Whether or not Phalorm survives the orc hordes it was meant to defy (it doesn’t, the orcs destroy it less than a century after it was founded), there is only so much time before the years will do the orcs’ work for them and the towers begin to collapse upon themselves. Less than 900 years later, the seven spires will look more like a jagged collection of broken teeth than the castle as shown here.
With full credit to Mike Schley for the original Cragmaw Castle map upon which this is based. I love that map and found it really inspirational.

the Hollowstone Bandit Camp
HollowStone Bandit Camp
HollowStone is slowly developing into a small fortress. If Illsong remains untroubled in their occasional banditry and adventuring pursuits, HollowStone will gradually be built up into a potent little keep with its shadow extending over much of the False Loch and perhaps into the bordering principalities.
For now through, the camp is a mix of magically-cut passages through the natural stone paired with defenses built out of the tailings from the excavations and some “wall of stone” spells.

Arcane Waters
This small “dungeon” is home to a circle of elementalists who focus on water magics (who call themselves the Blue Warlocks). Excavated and expanded upon from a small cave that linked to an underground river, it now serves as workshops, training and teaching space, and as the repository of a small library of elemental lore.
The Arcane Waters
As the name suggests, the waters here are magical in their own right – the Blue Warlocks use these waters to both enhance their magics and potions, as well as in the research into new spells and items. One of the original Blue Warlocks linked the source of the river to the elemental plane of water as well as a trickle of energy from the positive energy plane.

Brentil Tower
Brentil Tower
Currently secured and locked down by the the Sorcerer Lord Iosselmon, barring the use of magics to break in, the only way to unlock the doors are the magical keys distributed to the lieutenants of his Red Rangers.
On the nights of the new moon, you can sometimes see the luminous form of someone pacing in the enclosed balcony on the upper floor of the tower. It is said that Iosselmon’s Red Rangers don’t just use the tower to rest on their tours, but that they have to come here in order to feed whoever or whatever is prisoner up there.

2018 Commercial Map Pack
Based on the regular requests for updates to last year’s collection of all the commercial releases to the end of 2017, I’ve collected these 71 maps (along with a few alternate versions of some of them) and made them available as a zipped collection via DriveThruRPG.
Note that there is NOTHING in this package that you can’t get by surfing through the site and grabbing the commercial-licensed maps. It exists for those people who want (a) a collection of all these commercial maps and/or (b) to feel better when they pay for these maps.

Palace of the Sands
Palace of the Sands
Originally we aimed towards it as an obvious location for a night camp to keep out of the cold desert wind as well as to conceal our fire from other (less friendly) explorers. But immediately we spotted the signs of habitation – trails in the sand, scales, and buried dry scat. We explored quietly but found no actual residents – although one of the upper rooms was being used as a sort of larder with a number of desert lizards hanging from hooks in the ceiling.
They waited until most of us were inside exploring to strike. They climbed out of the sand around the palace, attacking our pack animals and burro handlers before surrounding the palace. They looked like lizard folk, but orange, yellow and brown in colour. They slept in the sands, mobilizing to hunt in the morning and evening. The sand devils were ferocious, fearless, and fought until there were but a handful remaining who ran off into the desert making strange howling noises.
We did not sleep that night, waiting for their return.
This map was inspired by a conversation about this illustration above – that not enough ruins in RPGs have doorways leading to open space where wooden structures or collapsed areas once stood.
