Gygax 75 Challenge: Week 5

Part 5 of the challenge was sort of a buffet in which you choose three out of a multitude of options. Of those options I decided to:

1. Sketch out the surrounding geography
2. Develop encounter tables for each of the hex terrains
3. Develop a list of system tweaks

Sketch out the Surrounding Geography

It just so happens that I already had a map of the area drawn. In fact, when I was making the hex map. I grabbed a small frame of this map and zoomed in on it. In retrospect, I should've chosen a different option since I already had done this one, but I was just excited to have already had part of the week out of the way.

Develop encounter tables for each of the hex terrains

I don't have any stat blocks for these creatures yet, but I assure you they will all appear on this blog at some point in the near future, be they all in one post or spread out between a few.

I guess that's the end of the Gygax 75 challenge. It was a nice structure, and it kept me more than busy these past 5 weeks. I definitely plan on doing more to polish this setting. Obviously I need to do all the hex entries, but I have a suspicion it's gonna be quite a bit harder without having a defined structure anymore.
