Despite its being "Unknown" I had a clear picture of the Isle in my head, and it was longer north-south than east-west, and slightly curved like a crescent moon. But it's not like that at all. It looks more like a redesigned Iceland. Which is all good, and makes much better sense in layout terms.<br /><br />Word verification: crope = creptClawCarverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236809815213343281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-65650500069565945162011-11-29T18:05:49.110+02:002011-11-29T18:05:49.110+02:00With major land features named like H.P.

The southern French city of Carcassonne is famous for its unique roman and medieval fortifications. The players develop the area around Carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads, in the cities, in the cloisters, and in the fields. The skill of the players to develop the area will determine who is victorious."<br /><br />I'm fairly certain this description could be tweaked to fit Carcosa amazingly well. So many hilarious possibilities for madness and unleashing elder beings.<br /><br />-Jeff QueenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-6746980622730286652011-11-29T07:20:39.245+02:002011-11-29T07:20:39.245+02:00> slags off my girls
