Quote from: mAcular Chaotic;950993What's the deal with Carcosa? I only hear people mention it vaguely.

Short version: it sucks.

Long version: it sucks bad.

I'd rather not go into details further than that, it's really stupendously shitty.

Should you want the long version, here are a few:

Hex _____: A crystal forest of crystal plants and animals. All life here is mineral yet still technically alive (+4 AC and immune to piercing and slashing damage but they shatter if they take a single point of bashing). These crystal wolves, tigers, and bears are no more aggressive than their flesh-and-blood kin but traveling through here during the day is still mildly dangerous as the constant prismatic dazzle can cause a condition not unlike snow-blindness.

Hex ____: Lake of acid. In the center is an island prison used by the many local tyrants. The warden is a punishment-obsessed beholder and the guards look like the "Evil aliens" with glowing brains from the old 80's Micronauts toy line (Stats as gargoyles).

The prison has an infamous reputation as the final destination for the absolute worst of the worst, but if Our Heroes ever wind up there they will discover that all the inmates were sent there for the most trivial and petty crimes imaginable.

Hex ____: Dead alien city, abandoned millennia ago. Crystal pyramids in geometric patterns around a central statue of a sphinx with the body of a Giger xenomorph and the face and boobs of a black Martian princess. In the physical world this hex is desolate and lifeless, but any poor bastard who becomes ethereal will soon discover it's host to a teeming ecosystem of very nasty ethereal predators, the feral descendants of the original alien's pets.
