[QUOTE="GuyBoy, post: 8319560, member: 7031143"] I adored this old JG resource. It came out in 1978 and was an early example of sandbox D&D. Basically, a once mighty empire had protected itself by a series of border forts, all built to the same design (a bit like the Saxon Shore forts in the UK), but the empire had collapsed anyway, leaving the forts abandoned and open to colonisation by diverse creatures. There was a standard fort map and, IIRC, three examples of how they had become lairs. I think one might have been bandits, another an ogre clan, but I’m not sure. I thought it was a great idea at the time and used them a lot in early campaigns. So what might be some cool ideas for these encounters on the frontier in these mix-and-match lairs? [LIST] [*]a medusa and her statue collection? [*]a bandit group, besieged, starving and terrorised by a nearby flock of perytons preying on them? [*]a “farm” of giant harvester ants? [*]the lair of a lonely vampire? [*]a ghost fort, haunted by the last soldiers it housed, believing the empire still stands? [/LIST] I’m sure you can do better than my ideas........
