Fantasy Map of Classic/Pop Rock Locations!

Just for fun, but also tying in to our upcoming classic/pop rock songs as D&D-esque monsters, we made a fantasy map of locations based on the same types of songs!

This idea has been bouncing around for months, ever since thinking of an “Eyes Without A Face” monster based very loosely–just the title really–on the Billy Idol song. And that led to The Twisted Sisters, War Pigs, an Iron Maiden (of course), Bricks in the Wall, Wheel in the Sky, Eye in the Sky, Riders in the Sky (lots going on in the sky!), Purple Rain, Red Rain, and November Rain (lots of rain–flying oozes–too!), Legs, Talking Heads, and more.

And that led to the idea of having at least a setting map in the planned book. This is a draft of that. As a nod to a great trope of fantasy maps, it started as Australia upside-down and flipped. I’m still playing with the font and considering more locations to add–if you’ve got an idea, post it! I made it in my Worldographer and used icons from a friend/freelancer Keith Curtis.

If you’re interested, the Rock and Roar prelaunch is here. It will have 2 books with the same monster concepts in each, but one has stats for Shadowdark, the other for Old School Essentials (B/X D&D).
