    Love, love, love those craters. My family has a cabin less than 2 miles from the rim of Crater Lake, Oregon, so I have an abiding love of calderas.

  • [Atlas Submission] - Doriant - Gold Coast - Eknapata Desert - Sakherma Ruins

    Below

    No toggles.


    Description

    Sakherma Ruins

    Below


    1.     Temple Stairs Entrance: Here, the stairs from the temple ruins above descend to human-created chambers. The northern staircase is blocked by sand, but a glass wall keeps the sand from filling the chamber below. The southern staircase is relatively unobstructed.

    2.    Monks’ Cells: These three chambers appear to once have been home to the monks who maintained the original temple. Game Masters: At the Game Master’s discretion, one or more of these rooms may be occupied by the dragon’s humanoid allies – kobolds, dragonborn, or perhaps sorcerers with a draconic bloodline.

    3.    Treasure Display: This room is practically cluttered with statues and tapestries. Game Masters: Here the dragon has created a veritable museum showing off its favorite treasures, including a display of magical armaments.

    4.    Pond Entrance: At the base of the pond, a mighty glass wall keeps the pond’s water from flooding into the tunnels. Game Masters: The dragon can magically pass through the glass without harming it to bathe in the pond, or for another escape route to the outside surface.

    5.    Dunes Entrance: A great glass wall keeps the sand dunes from pouring into the caverns. Game Masters: The dragon can pass through the glass without harming it in order to reach the surface of the desert, or to devoir travelers camping there.

    6.    Tunnel Entrance: This tunnel connects the upper and lower caverns.

    7.    Main Lair: It is readily apparent, if visitors haven’t already figured it out, that this is a dragon’s lair. Piles of coins, particularly copper ones, form its bed.

    8.    Egg Nest: A blue dragon’s egg lies on top of a pile of coins infused with the dragon’s magic to keep the egg warm when the dragon is away.

    9.    Ritual Chamber & Treasures: Here the dragon keeps most of its magical treasures. The dragon may also shift into human form to conduct arcane rituals from time to time.

    10. Wyrmling Lair: The bedroom for the dragon’s “teenage” child.

  • OSR Dungeons - The Goblin Outpost and the Lost Tomb

    Inspired by today's Live tutorial, here's my quickie dungeon map, old school style. I decided to add gridlines and remove the transparency effect from the grid sheet so the grid would stand out prominently, as if I drew the map on graph paper.

    Some goblins have set up an outpost in some caves located near the ruins of an ancient temple for a long-forgotten civilization. Unfortunately, the goblins seem to have accidentally poked their way into a forgotten crypt, disturbing a long-slumbering occupant who isn't particularly happy with its new neighbors.

    For those who didn’t know, this is designed in the beautiful Ancient Cities style that @C.C. Charron designed for the 2024 annual.

    Hi Remy @Monsen!

    I have discovered an Atlas submission for the city of Kukaar that I either failed to tag you in or quite possibly failed to submit at all. My Apologies! This is ready to be added at your leisure.

    This is for Doriant - Gold Coast - Eknapata Desert - Kukaar. You'll find Kukaar in pretty much the center of the Eknapata Desert map. It does not have an unusual toggles.


    Thank you!
