Out of the Maelstrom

Imagine a fantasy world that blends the golden age of piracy, swashbuckling, and gunpowder with fantasy world of magic, dwarves, elves and goblins and the like. This will be the campaign world I have decided to create. Races from many different worlds are deposited here over thousand or so years from a huge Maelstrom with dimensional powers that is at the center of this world those that have survived have now grown thrived and established island communities and nations scattered among the many islands. As I Toggle with Campaign Cartographer 3+ I have started to Map out Islands of the Southern Seas directly south of the Maelstrom. The First of these Islands I wish to share with you is below.


Isla de Congrejo is primarily populated primarily by humans that speak a Hispanic Dialect the Island has 5 ports with anchorages Puerto Plata being the largest known as a bustling city with silver mines near an active volcano on the interior. The island also has an abundance of Caoba used in building ships and a port that is primarily a whaling community. The ports on the Western and Eastern legs of the island are communities of a more lawless nature prone to piracy, smuggling and the sale of stolen goods from those sorts of trades.

As I become more familiar with Campaign Cartographer 3+ and develop more of my Ideas. I hope to improve the quality of the maps I make. I hope this little snippet sparks your curiosity on more to come.

Beggining to find my old legs

Well after hearing many of my friends and family members making or keeping a blog I started to do the same today. After many years away from one of my passions which is gaming. I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons since my early teens (Before there where numbered editions) that soon lead to many different games and later in Minatare wargaming, Strategy games, card games, Traditional games, Computer games and MMORPG's Just to name a few.

My Career and work Activities have kept me away far too long. Now that I'm nearing retirement and my obligations at work have freed up a little time I plan to dabble back into the gaming pool. I was an Accomplished Dungeon Master for Dungeons and Dragons and many other Pen and paper RPG's for years and took my first step towards finding my legs again last night. I Reinstalled CC3+ better known as Campaign Cartographer 3 on my computer and started some creative juices flowing as I start to dabble in a potential new Campaign world I soon hope to play in with friends and hope to share here in my Blog as well.
