The Alien World of Mer This is the map of Mer I drew up mainly for the purposes of determining travel time between locations. It shows the major features of the world, as well as where I hid the various remaining treasures of Rul (as indicated by the "Ancient Tome" pages elsewhere in this web site). |

The Island of Kinja This is one example of a settled island on the world of Mer. It was the starting point for the campaign and serves as something of a homebase for the PC's in my current game. (The specific site would be "Armondo's Sail and Pasta Shoppe", a store owned by one of the PCs.) By way of trivia, I stole the name of the island from an actual island in the Caribbean. The island is currently called Amerigo, but it used to be called King George the Third Island - shortened to "Kinja" by the residents. |

Serpent's Coil This is another example of a settled island - one that is a bit more in keeping with the general feel of the cartoon. This town is settled on the inside of the blasted-out remains of a volcano. It's actually turning out to be playing a larger role in the game than I originally expected. |

The History of Mer (True and Not-so-True) Since part of the campaign was going to be dealing quite heavily with past events, I decided to create a rather broad history for the world of Mer. I took the basics presented in the cartoon, and expanded on them, adding a few twists of my own just to make things interesting (and add just the right amount moral abiguity that I have come to enjoy in my games). In addition to the true history of the world, there are also two sections on the history as a couple of the PCs know it. I had a lot of fun deliberately adding some falsehoods into those texts. |
