Saltbox, not Sandbox

Image Source

Geordie Racer came up with a fantastic term for what we are doing here: creating Saltbox settings (instead of Sandbox)...and I think that is really cool! Bravo Geordie!

Second the voting (thus far) is leaning towards just stating out the book for Heroes & Other Worlds...and will most likely make the work available under a creative commons license.

While you have no doubt started considering your Saltbox setting, I wanted to give a brief update on the design process so you can start focusing your efforts.

Title: (This would be the name of your Saltbox Setting)

Theme: (This is a TWO WORD hook describing your setting) Two word?  Yup that is all you need to give a quick flavor to the prospective Referee! Examples Undead Hordes, Pirate Lair, Smuggler Port, Dwarven Ruins, Warring Tribes, Harpies Roost, Pagan Sorcerers, Marooned Cannibals, Volcano Temple, etc.

Saltbox Notes: Here is where you will give a brief outline of the island's history, its environs, weather and what the gist of adventures are in this location.

Random Encounters: (6 potential monsters or encounters that Players may find while exploring the island)

Locations:  (This is where you place specific things hound in a location hex once it is entered and explored.)

I am still working out the master map but at this point I think there will be somewhere around 50 to 70 open hexes you can use to build your Saltbox with.  1 hex = 6 mi
