#1 vman3force Jan 28, 2010 23:15:00	Hey guys. Me and my buddy are going to be building a huge (4 by 6 feet) 3d map of a ziggurat and the surrounding jungle area. The idea is that it is located in the middle of an island covered in a treacherous labyrinthine jungle. The ziggurat itself is inhabited by snake people. We want to include lots of little details and features on the map that the people looking at it can discover and interact with while exploring it through their characters. Do you guys have any ideas for things to put in?

Also maybe a river filled with piranha, a mysterious cenote, the lair of a green hag, a den of jaguars, beasts or insects of unusual size, a tribe of headhunters, extraneous ruins, the remains of previous expeditions, and there is always rescuing the captive virgins from sacrifice in the above cenote or a volcanic caldera to appease dark spirits. Jungles could also be full of wild elves, lizard-people, and oodles of druids. Of course I'm not sure if all of these things would fit on your island not knowing the size, after all Bermuda is an island and so is England but the scale difference is drastic.
