Buried Treasure, Dungeons full of Treasure, Ruins full of Treasure, Tombs full of Treasure, Reclusive Sorcerers with Treasure!<br /><br />You are correct. I've always assumed "Well, it's a sandbox so the players know they need to explore and find the big loot." But last session I realized that I have to be proactive in getting information to the players about hot treasure zones. <br /><br />So as well as placing treasure, I have to implement a system of overt clues about where to go for good loot.<br /><br />Although the Highlands do have the implied beanstalk tower tower that protrudes out of the atmosphere. If I was looking for rayguns I that seems like a pretty good place to go...<br /><br />The Demon Wastes are a badlands occupied by rival Chaos/Change faction city-states that are thousands of years old. The pulls would be that it is a good place for Sorcerers to go to buy the more loathsome spells or to research chaos/change lore. If you can fight naked and win every sword/knife fight you can make a great living there as a professional duellist. They also have functioning ornithopters and technocrats that are capable of maintaining and repairing them. Good place to buy magic items or mutant beasts/slaves.<br /><br />I really should just make a blog post of this...Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884401206802336531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886547051691715141.post-31829954446633478482010-02-01T12:30:09.715-08:002010-02-01T12:30:09.715-08:00Lots of dangerous wasteland - each region needs so...Lots of dangerous wasteland - each region needs some sort of 'pull' for the character - even the Demon Wastes. I can see they'd go west for the mines/trade, east for the Land of the Emerald Autarch, south to Sangkalla, why travel north to the Highlands ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886547051691715141.post-34957820969015876222010-01-31T18:05:51.988-08:002010-01-31T18:05:51.988-08:00CrusssDaddy says:
