The main thing is that it keeps things simple. It feels like there is enough there to easily riff off of. But not so much that you'd feel straight-jacketed in any way.

Viz is also a neat concept that injects a bit of wonder into things -- while simultaneously providing an explanation for why there might be a high number of adventurer types (and factions that could oppose them) wandering around Blackmarsh.

For those who haven't read Blackmarsh, "viz" solidified magical energy. It can be expended to keep a spellcaster from "losing a spell from memory." The original source was a "mountain that fell" (a meteor we can assume) which formed the inland sea that Blacmarsh borders.

Reminds me a little bit of sipstrassi stones from David Gemmell's books. Of course here "viz" can take any form.

I can't plainly say that I play Blackmarsh, but I steal quite a bit from it. ;)

Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier. Glad people are having fun with Blackmarsh.

The next project I am working is the Wild North (from Fight On #3) adapted for Blackmarsh. It will adjoin Blackmarsh to the north as shown below

Expanded Blackmarsh map
