#cumae

Cuma is about 30 minutes by car from Naples or about 2 hours on public transit. That means a visit would eat up an entire day of our trip and I’d already decided against it when I stopped to poke through the boxes of vintage postcards packed onto tables outside a shop in Piazza Dante.

This is the card waiting on top for me to find. I knew before I turned it over to check the caption what it was.

Unwise to resist an invite from the Sybil.

TTRPG Mapmakers might find this interesting! I am working on a D&D campaign set during the tail end of the Greek mythological/Hellenic world, and after combing through all sorts of wikipedia maps and articles I made these maps for my setting! I spent hours in pixlr over the long weekend making these maps of the world! Next is the eastern sea/Troy/Anatolia map for the setting.

I spent so much time using historic references and went down several research spirals to give this setting a mythological-meet-historical foundation. Things obviously aren't accurate to real life, but I think they're neat for the narrative I want to tell.

[Had to delete the previous iteration of this post because I forgot to include a layer of the Greece map, my b! lol]
