This is an excellent idea. It provides a push beyond the norm while also being immensely flexible and not excluding anyone who doesn't favour a particular style, scale, or genre.
I will be a guide through the darkness
Let them fumble their way through the depths.
I propose the following challenge: A map which spans that dangerous journey between two 'safe' points. The world is full of danger, and safe-havens from the horrors that lurk in the wilderness and deep places are few and far between. Without a map to guide them, adventures would surely stumble into danger.
This could be a trade route between two cities, a goblin infested passageway beneath a treacherous mountain, a sea-chart spanning the distance between two port towns, a quarantine zone, or a galactic star-chart through a space-bandit region.
I suggest this challenge include the starting point of the journey, the safe harbor at the end, and explicitly detail the dangers between.
This is an excellent idea. It provides a push beyond the norm while also being immensely flexible and not excluding anyone who doesn't favour a particular style, scale, or genre.
Yeah, pretty cool.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
