Flaendaas Region, World of heimur

[ThomasR]

Ok, I see what you mean, very good idea ! A sandbox is a RPG where the players can do whatever they want. The DM's job is to fill the world with characters, places and relations so that the players can interact with the world as they please. If they wander into the dragon cave at level one, well, it's a shame ...
My Kanoba map also has a hex grid but for purposes linked to the sandbox. Everytime the characters enter a new hex, they draw a card that hints on an event. The player that drew the card rolls a dice to set the danger level of the event (harmless, complicated, really dangerous). Then, that player has to describe what happens. It's the DM's work to do something with the player's proposition. In that game (Oltrée !), the characters discover the region and have to pacify it and protect the population, it's a good way to pass the narrative onto the players and, as a DM, it's a wonderful experience because, you're also a player !

I want to say that I went back to your work recently and it's truly amazing ! If you plan, someday, to do something professional with this setting, let me ... no, let US know, I'm sure I won't be the only one willing to pay for it.

Keep amazing us !

Ok, yeah I should know what a sandbox is lol, somehow forgotten
I'm gonna play a d&d 5e campaign, and one of the reasons I put the hexes is that I wanted to recall some "old school" feelings among my players (we know since childhood), the card/roll idea is quite nice!
Thank you for your compliments! I always wanted to publish something around my "homebrew" setting, besides of maps I have a lot of sketches, wips, notes and pretty clear ideas; on the other hand I lack the time but mostly the skill to wrote this in english.. We'll see, for the moment I will keep working on this world in the spare time
