You’re recruited by a secret society to infiltrate the grand opening ceremony of the New Colosseum, a tasteless theme park built in and around the original Colosseum. Billionaire scoundrel artist and owner of the New Colosseum, Crassus Kapoor, has pilfered holy sites from around the world to build his grim epcot catacombs in the hypogeum beneath the Colosseum. His hubris causes the blood of 400,000 deaths to rise as undead graveyard elementals and murder the crowd. You can stop the mayhem by locating the four pieces of The Seal and return them to their shrine rooms in the labyrinth of the hypogeum!
This week’s guest: Alyssa Faden is a professional cartographer and GenCon panelist since 2012. She’s best known for her incredible cityscapes and stunning details. Her clientele includes Monte Cook Games, Kobold Press, Profantasy Software, Gygax Magazine, Golden Goblin Press, Troll Lord Games, and Frog God Games.
We talked about drawing Chaosium’s Gaslight London map, and doing research at The Library of Congress. Working on an updated “Cosmology of Roleplaying” from Gygax Magazine. Her 12-foot by 12-foot Tegel Manor battle map. How she listens to Antonio Vivaldi or audio books while she works, and her Dungeon Morph Tiles for INkwell Ideas.
