Instead of doing my homework, I drew coloured maps of the world of Sceptre. I also wrote an adventure, strongly influenced by The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Shamutanti Hills , The Goonies and a scattering of science fiction novels. What if I had run campaigns in Travellers of the Wasteland , instead of the next game world I created, for the next ten years? I’d like to think it would have turned out a fair bit like this game. In writing this, I feel like I have come home after a long sojourn in distant lands; that I have reconnected with what got me into fantasy and gaming in the first place.
