[QUOTE="alsih2o, post: 903337, member: 4790"] i personally would have the map contain an err or two, and the one that sticks out to me the bmost would be the lighthouse. instead of having it be an ancient lighthouse, you could have it be the ancient light house (3 words) a house that stores an ancient light, maybe the light is the only source of light that makes it possible to see in the bottom of the magically dark lake or sea of death. maybe it holds the only light that works in the ancient templa pyramid place and that in turn holds clues to how to return the gold worms to their home at the bottom of the sea of death. perchance these gold worms are so named because of their value in keeping the balance in the sea of death, for without their enormous force against life rising in that sea it is now producing the life it is capable of, life that is hideous...and hungry :) somehow i would make the lighthouse a light house and make it neccesary...a good 10 rd walk up a scary narrow revolving staircase to the top can be deceidely unnerving for the players f handled well :) either way and anyway i think starting with a map is sometimes a great way to do things! i have seen good camaigns written backwards form the inspiration recieved from coming up with a great name for the bbeg.
