going outside to look at bugs is 20% looking at bugs and 80% being cooked to fucking death by the sun

Someone mentioned how they were having a hard time creating a world for their fantasy fiction geographically because they kept reinventing the island of Britain, which also happened to my good close enemy George R. R. Martin. I would like to suggest North Carolina. I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous but North Carolina has an awesome geographic setup for a fantasy kingdom, I think. Inhospitable barrier islands, constantly shifting shoals in the sound, swamps with alligators, venomous snakes and carnivorous plants, lots of very flat and somewhat sparsely populated farmland, foothills, mines, mountains full of mysterious phenomenon that were originally very difficult to navigate and people still get lost in today. It kind of rocks.

AND VENUS FLYTRAPS ARE NATIVE TO THE CAROLINAS!

And I agree with the notes, the Chesapeake Bay + Great Dismal Swamp (partially in NC anyway) and the South Carolina Lowcountry would be good geographic additions to this.

OK, now I wanna run a campaign where you have to trek from mountain cryptid country to pirate country and in between you gotta avoid a big steel dragon (the Charlotte Motor Speedway).

Friends who have vision sensitivities do NOT go into the Odyssey unprepared. There are a LOT of lightning sequences that could count as strobing lights. The worst offender is obviously after the Sun Gods cows, but almost any storm scene has an abundance of lightning. It was almost too much for me in some places.

this lamb keeps trying to sacrifice itself even though no one really needs or wants it to do that
