Started working on a new, small, adventure. Maybe for the next Wyrd Morava. Vršún the Dragon and the Cliffs.

Map is my own and the Dragon the work of my partner.

Update on the map question, I’m just putting them next to each other in one larger regional map. I’ll take a look at some of the hex packs and then it’s time to soloroleplay a revolution

Which of these two maps looks more appealing for a TTRPG campaign to you? Answer below.
