Hiya,
I'm planning out a mini-adventure set on Titan - but I haven't decided WHERE on Titan!
The plot could work in most places, so where would YOU like to see an adventure set? Is there a particular part of the world you always wanted to visit?
My only stipulation is that it must have been covered in Titan AND/OR a published FF, however briefly. Otherwise, I've nothing to go off!
Answers on a postcard, please?

The Japanese influenced Hachiman from Sword of the Samurai.

The Japanese influenced Hachiman from Sword of the Samurai. Ah, that's a place I expected to be popular. I've never been to Japan, nor do I speak Japanese. I don't even watch much anime. But now you've got me thinking... |

Thanks for the idea. Had never heard of it before! |

I've always wondered what kind of society has developed around the Copperstone Caves of Daddu-Ley.

I've always wondered what kind of society has developed around the Copperstone Caves of Daddu-Ley. Wow, that's super-specific! Had to look it up: fightingfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Daddu-LeyAm really pleased with the response to my post so far, more please! |

I should say that I had planned to make it the classic fantasy scenario of confronting (not necessarily slaying) a dragon. If you ignore Night Dragon, I can't think of another FF where this is a big part of the plot!
This should work in most fantasy settings, but the nature and motives of the dragon could be quite different in some settings.

If you need a city for your plot, you've got Zengis (https://fightingfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Zengis for overview and which other books to have a look at in the references), and if you want a forest, open plains, mountains or a river you've got them too. I've always thought that the Kaypong region [including Fang] has a blend of east or south-east Asian and western European influences, a bit like parts of Orb from Way of the Tiger. It's not complete 'virgin territory' in terms of canon so you have a basic outline of the area but there is plenty of space for your own imagination. Any good? |

It's very good! Thanks Kieran. That's a very intriguing backstory, and a very plausible one. Well done Andrew Wright, and well done editorial staff. I will start on these adventures very soon - they seem well-written and quite varied. Stand by for more feedback. |

It's very good! Great minds think alike! Really enjoying getting my nerd on here, thanks for all the ideas so far. |

Weren't loads of Ian Livingstone's books set around there? I don't really remember them well. I've spent a happy (nerdy) 5 minutes putting Thai and European names through a Markov chain name generator, which gave me some weird and wonderful stuff! What about this corner of Allansia? If you need a city for your plot, you've got Zengis (https://fightingfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Zengis for overview and which other books to have a look at in the references), and if you want a forest, open plains, mountains or a river you've got them too.

Weren't loads of Ian Livingstone's books set around there? Armies of Death was firmly in that area - you visit most of the locations on that map in that book. Forest of Doom, Deathtrap Dungeon, Caverns of the Snow Witch, Trial of Champions, Crypt of the Sorcerer, Return to Firetop Mountain and Eye of the Dragon were set in the area's periphery. My Fighting Fantazine adventure Hand of Fate was partially set in that area too. |

My Fighting Fantazine adventure Hand of Fate was partially set in that area too. Could certainly imagine an evil dragon rampaging around there. Or a good dragon holed up in some caves. Any more ideas? |

Sounds like a proper house of fun. |

I remember seeing a really detailed, colour, zoomable map of Titan online somewhere but can't seem to find it now.
Does anybody know the URL?
