What would be a good starting point to build a crossover D&D/Ghost Town/Voodoo Town

rdevelyn

Just as the subject says :-)

If it makes a difference, it's for a module I'm writing and publishing (I write / self-publish Four Dollar Dungeons (http://paizo.com/store/byCompany/f/fourDollarDungeons), all of which I map (with *some* expertise) using CC).

Cheers

Ghost town does not necessarily infer the Wild West as some people think, it merely infers an abandoned town or area of town. There were villages & towns that became ghost towns, & were referred to as such, during the Black Death outbreaks of the Medieval period. So I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

JimP

Exactly, there are abandoned areas in Europe. Roman, Celtic, etc.

Ok - I mean "spooky" town :-)

Vlad Tepes', the Impaler, castles still exist. I've seen them on a couple of History channel shows. I think it was 'Lost Worlds'.

I don't know of any maps online though.

Archaeological sites can be spooky to.

What about one of those Cajun swamp villages.

Post up some of your maps it would be great to see them.

rdevelyn

Cajun swamp village sounds good.

I was wondering whether there might be something in one of the annuals or the source maps, or a good set of spooky building tiles somewhere.

BTW, when I said *some* expertise, I didn't mean very much :-)

The adventure I'm working on at the moment consists of a series of tunnels beneath a garden. In order to map this I created a cross-section map as well as 6 individual level maps. I'm always playing around with techniques but I quite liked the effect on these ones.

And here's one of the levels.

Incidentally, all 6 levels are on the same Campaign Cartographer FCW. I just switch on different sheets to generate the different ones.

And the gardens above

There is a set of gothic houses that look pretty spooky, they are in the city set I think.
I like the dungeon maps, thanks for posting

Thank you :-)
