The Spiral Isles - A new OSR point crawl adventure

[lazylitch]

Hi, everyone. I'm collaborating on a new point crawl adventure for swords and wizardry called the Spiral Isles

Here is the landing pages for anyone who is interested : www.spiralisles.com/

Looks creative! Will people fall off those edges, or just swim through space to the next landmass?

system neutral?

[scottenkainen]

And can you explain more about what this term "point crawl" means?

You don't fall to your death if you fall off the islands. But you end up somewhere bad :}

Its going to be for swords and wizardry


Point-crawl :
Its an adventure structure that lies in-between a sandbox hexcrawl and a linear flowchart like narrative.
Point crawls are not as free form and open as hexcrawls are, were players can go absolutely any direction
they want. But its also not as constricted as a linear adventure either. Hexcrawls tend to have a hard time
having any overarching narrative elements, while linear adventures can easily be much more flavourful.
A point crawl lies somewhere in the middle. You can choose to vist locations in whatever order you want,
but from a limited group of options. Examples of point crawls are "the slumbering ursine dunes" , "the misty
isles of the eld" and "the ultra-violet grasslands"
