One thing that most fantasy roleplaying games have in common is a range of exciting, fantastic locations. While new monsters and spells are easy to come buy, unique and memorable adventure locations are a little more sparse. Over on Kickstarter right now you can find a book which provides you with 15 interesting locations - a mad king's cursed castle, an ancient structure beneath the ice, and so on.
You can check out a sample chapter for free here. 7 pages which includes the introduction, and one location - The Ziggurats of the Doom Priests. "Built into the cliffs of a steep mountainside, the ruinsof three ziggurats rise above the jungle surroundingthem. Twin waterfalls ow from caverns deep in the cliffwalls between the three ziggurats, tumbling into riversthat form a natural moat around the central ziggurat.A crumbling stone bridge spans the moat, leading toa set of sturdy stone doors in the central ziggurat. Twohuge pillars stand before the ziggurats, while a third hascollapsed into rubble. Massive carvings of dead godsdecorate the stonework of the ruins."
The book is a black-and-white volume which you can get in PDF for $15. For $25 you get the PDF, and an opportunity to purchase the book at cost. Stretch goals include colour artwork and additional locations. It's a rules-neutral affair; the idea is that you populate the locations with monsters and events of your own making.
The mastermind behind the book is Mike Shea, with art from Brian Patterson. Other contributors include Scott Fitzgerald Gray, and Erik Nowak.
You'll find the Kickstarter here. It's already funded, with 3 weeks to go, and has already passed the first stretch goal which guarantees 5 pieces of colour art.
