The Map is not The Territory
The RPG Anthology of Map Inspired Adventures showcases a wide range of interpretations and adaptations from 23 diverse game designers inspired by a single map featuring monsters drawn in different styles ranging from fantasy art & illustration with pixel-style graphics, realistic 3D landscapes, stylized abstract shapes to surrealist worlds full blown interior spaces. - The RPG Anthology is system agnostic; players must stat up enemies for their preferred roleplaying systems while still being able to enjoy the game as a whole without worrying about technical requirements or restrictions of certain platforms.
