    Default Roll A Map

    How about creating a map based on what you roll? See the attachment for roll ideas/options.

    The idea is that you roll a theme for your map for style/features/monsters/season/etc.

    After this, you roll what you must map.

    Then roll the terrain or main geographical feature of the map.

    Like the idea!

    Would have suggested you add a poll to the thread, so we can vote for it.

    That's a really good idea. I'd even suggest rolling twice on the last table, so you could get things like waterfall/plateau. The only thing I'd say is that the first two tables are relatively small things, medieval boats, cites, whatnot, but the last table seems to suggest that you have to show more of the features it's built on. What if you get Hot/Boat/Continent?

    I think then your banner needs to include a boat theme, or you draw boats on the oceans. And volcano themed continent. BUT I see what you are getting at. Maybe more than one table depending on what you roll in the middle?

    I thought boat could encapsulate sea-faring ships too like galleons or spaceships

    The original order was table 1 -> 3 -> 2

    I was thinking of adding an events table which might add more structures or features
