The Buried Tower
A gm-less map making game for 1 to 5 players. You are a monster who lives in the shadows and caverns of an enormous structure,  a tower that reaches down, down into the earth. Each layer of the tower was once the uppermost - as you ascend, you will learn of the history of this place that once was yours, and how it was ruined, or abandoned, or forgotten. Inspired by The Quiet Year/The Deep Forest, The Underditch, Number Appearing, Scarlet Heroes, and Friends at the Table. A submission to Mapemounde 2019.  The background image is Hadley Castle, Near the Nore, by David Lucas, and the cover image is The Course of Empire - Desolation, by Thomas Cole, both in the public domain.
