Locations, what's out there?

[Number47]

I was reading the thread about Speaker in Dreams and thinking about modules in general. Now, I don't like to use modules at all. I'm a homebrew guy and no module is going to fit the flavor of my world. The amount of work it would take to fit it my world, I might as well save the money and make my own adventures.

What would be useful for me is a sketched and filled location or two. For instance, I might need a cave system populated with kobolds as a dungeon in the adventure. I would be more than willing to buy a cheap, pre-made dungeon of these. An orc fort, a haunted mansion, a magic tower. Stuff like that.

Does anybody provide this stuff? How good is it, how much does it cost?

Is this something you would like to see/see more of? What do you want out of it?

Foul Locales from Mystic Eye Games might fit the bill, as would En Route from Atlas Games, I think.

I'm currently working on a web site to supply lots of these kinds of maps (and later, encounters to go with them). It should be up by the end of the year.

Book of Challenges has as some cool stuff in it. All of it is one encounter, nothing really linked. However, it is basically what you are looking for. Also, the advice given for designing adventures is very good. Check out my review here:
