Man, this has got to be one of my favorite set-ups for a setting/area guide. A pretty map with a single paragraph per area which does a great job at giving the feel and description of each unique feature of the island. Each area is also provided with ideas for adventure which is basically just examples on how to use the material. With a small bestiary and rumor and treasure lists, this small beautiful volume provides a robust location which does a lot of the heavy lifting of creating a region while allowing huge creative freedom to use it how one desires. Honestly, for me it strikes the perfect balance between ‘so vague as to be practically useless’ and ‘so detailed I have no room to move’.
Done! I’ve added singles of each version. The “print-friendly” ones don’t have the background images, so you can print them at home without using loads of ink.

Ah thanks for such a great review! I appreciate you taking the time to write up about it, and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the setting so much!
This is really great. Great worldbuilding, Hugh.
I hope you won't mind if i use the locations for Pirate Borg.
Of course - please do! It’s quite fitting for Pirate Borg.
"Spreads" and "Print friendly" is bad joke and oxymoron :/
Request not spreads, but print friendly :/
Thank you
Could you explain a little? Do you mean you would prefer singles instead of spreads?
The print friendly options are named that because don’t have the heavy background images. I can add single pages if that would be helpful.
hello! Please, add singles if possible ☺️ that would be awesome
