[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7766464, member: 20323"] The main challenge is that the rivers in Chult – Soshenstar, Tiryki, Olung – flow south to north, and generally the PCs need to go south, so each river essentially serves as a narrative to determine what sorts of preplanned encounter areas the PCs discover along the way. For example, the Soshenstar has escalating signs of goblins > undead-ravaged abandoned camp haunted by goblins > new camp with its own problems. While Hepmonoland is vaguely Chult-like with its coastline & towns in the north, it doesn't have any long rivers oriented the same way as Chult, so there is none of that built in narrative flow. I believe ToA recommends the Amedio Jungle for DMs running Greyhawk (in part) because the layout of the Amedio – while looking different from Chult – does have three predominant rivers flowing alongside one another which can take place of the Soshenstar, Tiryki, and Olung.
