Sneak Peek - Nightmare Islands & The Motakka Lair

Added 2023-03-23 17:00:04 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone, and happy Sneak Peek Thursday!

Today, I'm showing off some of my next two maps, which will be released on Monday. These maps are part of the newest Lunch Break Heroes adventure that will be posted later this month and go along with my latest map release, The Knight Inn.

For the next two sets of maps, as the players get sucked into the nightmare realm by the Motakka creature, they must navigate an endless forest, solve puzzles on a series of nightmare islands and a massive rope bridge, and finally, confront the nightmare daemon itself; the Motakka in its lair.

These sets of maps were inspired by the Fade from my favorite gaming series Dragon Age (with a bit of Lovecraftian horror sprinkled in). Additionally, the forest section of the adventure very much reminds me of an encounter you would find in Dark Souls / Elden Ring. For fans of those franchises, I think you'll really enjoy running this adventure for your players!

For both the islands and lair maps, I'll also create versions without any adventure specifics on them so you can use them for more general use. Personally, I plan on using the nightmare island map the next time I run CoS when a player makes a deal with one of the entities in the Amber. I think the visuals of a rope bridge disappearing into the mists with a horrible endless void below them would be the perfect visual for any player "making a deal" with a dark vestige!

I'll catch up with you all on Monday!

Cheers,

DM Andy
