Sneak Peek - Los Muertos Tar Pits (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone, and happy Sneak Peek Thursday! Today, I'm showing a bit of my next map, which I call Los Muertos Tar Pits. It is a generic encounter map that was inspired by my own CoS game by adding pools of black tar to Berez around the location where Baba keeps her hut. Her presence makes the swamp water black and viscous while the massive beast's bones stick out of the bubbling tar, warning the players of what is lurking in the swamp.
This allows you to create some (very) difficult terrain and is great for swarms of insects or horrible, bloated creatures rising from the tar.
On a personal note, this was also inspired by the tar pits that I live next to; The La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California. I go there often when I take walking breaks, and you can see the black tar bubbling up from cracks in the sidewalk or mounds sticking out of the grass. I knew I wanted to make a map featuring this tar the first time I saw it!
I'll have the full map posted up by Monday with 8 different colors moods.
Cheers,
DM Andy
