The Hive of the Sleeping Queen
[imager]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v69/litlbeast/queenCOVERbig.png[/imager]
Up above the villages and farms, high in the cliffs, deep within her dark hive the bloated queen sleeps while her larvae grow, and eat. Her handmaidens flit from room to room, caretakers of the hive while the season passes on to the next. Soon the new king will arrive, but for now, everything is quiet. Everything except the endless, voracious gnawing of the infants in their cells.
The Hive of the Sleeping Queen introduces a new monster race, the joram.
Game Masters have the world on their shoulders. Literally.
While their players each have only a single character to portray, the GM must provide plot and personality for practically everyone else. And then there are the times when the players choose to go completely off topic. And the GM must carry on as if nothing is wrong, as if he has planned for every contingency.
In other words, he has to wing it.
Strange Places is meant as a tool to help busy GMs. The books - centered around intriguing, gridded maps - present unique and often bizarre snapshots of locales and odd places. These areas are provided with suggested background and description, but the GM is free as always to alter anything and everything to suit her purposes. The beautiful full-color maps have a 1” grid for use with miniatures are provided for each location. Blank versions of the maps are included for the GM's convenience.
Whether used as a last minute fill in the blank, or as the inspiration for a full blown adventure, Strange Places will become a tool usable by every GM, no matter the game system.*
*Game mechanics provided use the d20 system, but the product is just as useful in any system.
