After yesterday’s brief look at Generation Decks, and skipping another day of #RPGaDAY2019 (it’s just a coincidence that it was a hard theme) we are back on the month long bandwagon.

So let’s see what today’s theme is…

Vast, such a big word! Sorry couldn’t help that.

After that poor attempt at a joke, what does vast mean to me?

I think it describes the Forgotten Realm perfectly. It’s a word that pops to mind when I think about it.

The map below of the Sword Coast is a tiny part of that world.

Despite that, even that seems overwhelming in it’s size.

You can narrow in on any area, and be blown away with the share amount and richness of ideas that will be inspired.

I think of where my homebrew campaign is taking place around the Moonshae Islands and Mintarn and the share volume of adventure ideas that I have for that small part of the Sword Coast.

Adventures based on classical literature such as the Greek stories and legends. Encounters at sea with pirates and monsters, and also on the sea bed. Islands inspired by movies like Jurassic Park or the Island of Dr Moreau. Then you get on the Moonshae Islands themselves and all that they inspire above ground and below in the under dark.

It almost seems overwhelming.

I just love how the Forgotten Realm is such a vast and rich realm to base a campaign.
