C&C Assault on Blacktooth Ridge

[Brund the Decrepit]

Here is a color version of the Map'age that Peter B. did for an area map for the The Rising Knight adventure that came with the boxed set.

I am not sure if this is what you were looking for but it does contain some location info for Blacktooth Ridge.


Enjoy..

I agree it would have been better at 32 pages, but I think TLG is still a bit nervous about putting out materials with a higher price tag for C&C. As the publisher, it's probably hard to decide where to draw the line between quality and price. I think they did a relatively good job with Assault.

I would be happy with a 32 pp adventure for £4.99, which was the old-school module price ca. 1983. 24pp for the £5 I paid in 2005 is admittedly not bad

Nice adventure. But yeah, the maps! How hard would it be to just to an overhead hex-map, with little numbers or letters denoting the encounter sites? Not a revolutionary concept by any stretch.

I guess that makes me a conservative. Or maybe even a dangerous reactionary counter-revolutionary. I'll report to Gate 9 for re-education as ordered.

But seriously, if you don't mind me picking your brain, why? I didn't think the scale of the area was such that a bit more detailed map wouldn't have been easily shoehorned into anyone's campaign. Call me old-fashioned, but I generally think the main purpose of a map is to determine how far it is from point A and point B. To do that, you generally need a point A, a point B, and some sort of means of determining distance and direction. Being pretty is kind of secondary. Oops, there I go again with my wrong-thinking...

(BTW, from the previews I've seen and the photographs from Lake Geneva Con, Darlene's work on CZ looks absolutely incredible - form and function. I'm highly, highly anticipating seeing the finished project in a month or two - maps and text.)

Aside from the wilderness and village maps, I thought it was a pretty nice little adventure. I'm curious to see how the area is further developed in A2.

Methinks you should read some Burke. And take a look at those very functional blue maps of the old TSR modules.

Yeah, do the maps. Plus you need to do a master map for all the "short" pdf adventures you are doing. Especially when you put them all together into a print product. Granted, it was easy for me to do a quick players map, deciding as I draw it what the distance/spacial relationships are, but I would prefer not to have to figure things like that out.

A very good module though, and a good read like previously mentioned. This reminded me so strongly of Keep on the Borderlands I'm going to pull my copy out when
i finish moving into my new home and see about joining them together.
