Southwestern Isle of the Blest
(This is the portion on the Ghinor map.)
This area has relatively few location descriptions in the map booklet, so it gave me a chance to develop my own flavor for the region. This encounter table pushes pretty far in the direction of Science Fantasy, so if you don't like mixing fantasy with science fiction, you'll have to make substantial alterations in these encounters. On the other hand, if you like the Planetary Romances/Lost Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs, A. Merritt, the early C. L. Moore, Henry Kuttner, etc., then this should be right up your planetary alley!
