Forest Bridge

A sturdy wooden bridge over the town’s river is always a good place to be held up by corrupt guardsmen, ambushes, kappa, trolls, or revolutionaries. Whether forest or farmlands, this map pack will help you out.

This is a remaster of a Miscellanea Maps original!

Thoughts

• This pack was originally based on the Old North Bridge of Boston fame — chosen in part because back in 2021 I had just played through Fallout 4 again & it was Independence Day at the time of first release.
• For an alternative inspiration, you might want to look at Togetsukyō, a rather nice bridge in Arashiyama, Kyōto.
• Hide snipers in the surrounding trees. Have someone draw the party into an ambush.

Contents

• Forest Bridge: A sturdy bridge over cold blue water in the midst of a forest.
• Lightbridge A mystical construct left behind by the last empire. Or possibly still possessed by the last empire. Watch out!
• No Bridge: Because this is what happens when the lightbridge is disabled. Or maybe there just wasn’t a bridge to begin with! Maybe a ferry replaced it.
• Water Spirit: An enormous winged creature blocks the path of your crossing!
• Poisoned River: Might actually be algae, or pollution.
• Old North Bridge: Directly inspired by the bridge of the same name & design in Boston, Massachusetts. Get your history lessons in!
• Revolution: Oh, hey, just look at the time — it’s violent uprising o’clock. Local insurgents have taken over a chokepoint & think they can withstand the kingsmen!
• Day/Night/Rain Variants: Wherever applicable!
