for larger preview, bc for some reason this shrank, see here ! https://www.deviantart.com/rookfox/art/GREYBOONE-PUBLIC-MAP-2018-745694688
Greyboone's Mountains were previously used for our temporary and private role play, "Akiak" which told the story of a sled dog team who ends up crashing down a slope they cannot climb up again. This crash results in the eventual death of their dear person, and the group is left to fend for themselves. Out of the several team members, only two or three made it to the end of the role play session. I made this map for just a temporary role play, I would hate to see it go to waste. I'll leave you here with an introduction and small plot we had going for Greyboone's territories, and then you're free to either build on that and use the plot, or come up with something completely different for your own role play and purposes.
GREYBOONE is at the heart of many trails, slopes and hunting places. It is also the heart of treachery and desperation among predators. The winter is seemingly endless amongst the land, making the slopes that surround it covered in ice and snow just as Greyboone is. This has resulted in the crashes of several sled dog teams among these slopes, and the loss of hunting dogs whom stray just a bit too far into it's reaches. Besides the occasional lost dog, the area is far more rich in foxes, wolves, and cougars, whom fight amongst each other constantly for the same resources that Greyboone has to offer.
The area is generally untouched by humans, who intend to preserve it's wildlife, and who intend to not get eaten by predators or lost to the constantly worsening weather conditions. There have even been search parties sent to Greyboone who simply do not return.
This offers the option for several interesting role play perspectives :
- crashed sled dog teams, confused by the wilders and desperate to find rescue that will likely never come.
- wandering hunting dogs, always confused as to why their person never followed them or came looking for them... at least they know how to hunt for food.
- conniving cougars, who remain hidden until the night or dreadful snowstorms arrive... you only see them because they let you see them.
- cunning foxes, who know exactly how to play the gullible to their own advantage, and how to steal or sneak their way to their next meal.
- or, whatever you want, because at the end of the day, what Greyboone really is and what stories it really holds is completely up to you/your groups imagination.
With the base description aside, I'd like to go over some quick quick rules!
1. no, you don't have to use any of the posted plot for your role play. If you wanted to call the map Smelly Boy Peak for your role play and say a bunch of giant dragons live there, that's a okay. That was simply the preferred/base plot we had going and since the RP has ended, I wanted to share in case others were interested in building off of it!
2. Please be respectful of other people in the map! While I think it's great to role play with anyone and everyone, I also think it's great to let people hold private role play sessions if they or their role play need it (although if that IS the case, consider party?).
3. Please don't claim the map! The map was made by in game user leda, or user Rookfox. "Credit to the person who made it" is lazy, and is not credit!
4. Camps and dens are first come first serve. If you and another group are fighting over it and don't know who came first, consider seeking a different camp, give it to the bigger/more active group, or block each other completely while RPing. There's no reason to fight over a silly camp.
5. Please don't come to me with questions until you've read the map DL read me! It's very frustrating when I spend two hours writing those and people don't even look at them. Just take a gander before PMing/commenting below, will ya?
OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES...
- The map was originally going to be expanded on, but I lost all of the map files and wasn't able to ever build on them. Near the entrance by a small source of water, you may find a portal that has no map attached to it. This is normal, and just something I never got to.
- If you experience other missing map files though, please let me know so I can look into it and check the download.
- If you're experiencing missing textures, reinstall and thoroughly follow the read me. If nothing comes of that, comment below and again I will check the download.
- If you experience any lag, crashing or bad tokens, check the read me for a guide on that, but do keep in mind that part of that is simply FeralHeart being an older game.
- Lastly, I don't recommend lighting mods and such with Greyboone's mainland unless your computer is high up there. The mainland is large and although I can run it fine, I would still say it's a bit iffy with mods like that. Consider turning them off, or deleting Greyboone's weather file if you're leaving them on.
And FINALLY, you have made it to the map download. I'll be ya didn't read all of that them there above ^ , but just know I recommend it!
