Making Maps for the Cosmere RPG: Part 5, Shadesmar Shipwreck

We haven't run aground with our Map Making Series for the Cosmere RPG, and so today we're going back to Shadesmar for another battlemap.

Recommended by Reddit user /u/deathranger009, this map features a ship that has run aground on some small islands deep in Shadesmar bead ocean.

I love the idea of a shipwreck in Shadesmar. Who knows what caused this ship to run aground, and why your adventuring is even there in the first place. Maybe it was simple negligence that caused this ship to break itself on the obsidian of these small islands, but perhaps something lurks just beneath the beads, just waiting for it's next meal.

Here are some ideas on adventures or battles that could be run using this map:

• Treasure hunt! Have your party recover some lost loot from the ship.
• Tracking down a lost vessel. Your party gets hired to seek a vessel that has gone missing, tracking it's potential whereabouts to this small island. This could also be a great rescue style mission.
• Shipwreck. Maybe they were on the vessel when it ran aground! Your party could attempt to survive for a set amount of days until help arrives.

Five down, two to go

We are five maps in to my Making Maps series, and now there are just two left. If you have been enjoying this series, feel free to subscribe both to the website and to my YouTube channel. I don't always do rapid fire series like this, but I do post lots of fun Cosmere RPG and Cosmere Lore content whenever I feel like it!
