CASTLE ZAGYG
PART I
YGGSBURGH

Beneath the shadows of that ancient and dread place men call Castle Zagyg stands the fortified town of Yggsburgh. Its stout walls and cobbled ways give ample refuge to those bold and worthy adventurers who come to the Four Tors to plunder the dungeon deeps of the Mad Mage or die valiantly in the effort. Binding the walls, are the Urt and Nemo Rivers, whose tumbling waters stretch the length of the lands beyond the Four Tors, Castle Zagyg and Yggsburgh. In these hinterlands are marks of the Mage in such places as the Oldoaks Grove, Glittering Knobs, Uplands and the Lonely Valley. Enter the environs of that most dread of magi, test your metal and make ready for the heroes forge that is Castle Zagyg!

Yggsburgh is the Setting for Castle Zagyg. It consists of the town of Ygssburgh and its environs. This large folio brings the Game Master countless encounter areas and possible adventures within the city proper. And beyond Yggsburgh are over 30 detailed encounter areas. Yggsburgh comprises 1500 square miles of adventuring terrain, complete with all the information players and DMs need. To assure it is easy to manage, the descriptions are loaded with adventure hooks. The walled town for which the module is named, Yggsburgh, provides not only innumerable opportunities for adventure, but it and its suburban area are meant to later serve as the base from which PCs can then operate in their dungeon delving in Castle Zagyg itself. Yggsburg is designed to plug into any homebrew or published setting, including TLGs own World of Erde.

Now I remember why I hate hex maps.

Now I remember why I hate hex maps.

Whereas I really like 'em. I don't know why--heck, it could just be nostalgia--but something about them appeals to me.

 

[Faraer]

I don't know about hex maps in general, but this is the most inspiring RPG-related map I've seen in a couple of years. 'I hate hex maps' is some response to the return of Darlene.

Certainly are very practical.

I think it probably is nostalgia, cause I've got a case of nostalgiaitis looking at that map too.

It's pretty cool, even though "Big Fish Lake" has got to be the lamest lake name I've ever read.

But I always liked hex maps. They give me the old urge to put an adventure in every hex - like I used to do, as an obsessive little boy.

It will be mine....oh yes.....it will be mine.

FWIW

Big Fish Lake, Michigan:

Big Fish Lake, Minnesota:

There is a Big Fish Lake in Florida as well.

 

[Arcane Runes Press]

Yeah, I have no doubt that there are lots of real Big Fish lakes.

Still can't stand the name, though.

It's just a thing for me, I suppose. Like when I see NPCs named John.

 

[Krieg]

I can understand that. I just personally prefer names that at least give a nod towards how places tend to get named in reality.

There are far too many "Du'a'ta of the Deep Waters" out there for my tastes.
