FuckYeahIslandsThatLookLikeDungeons

This is the Greek island of Santorini, aka Thera. Cycladic architecture is dope.







It's a charming resort...

...no, wait, its The Black Drowning Pool of Nith-Nod.

  2. That reminds me of the 'Beehive Fort' in the AD&D2e DMG supplement, 'Campaign Sourcebook and Catacomb Guide', which appeared to have been based on the kind of towns built by the Hopi - a similarly multi-level, interlinked series of rooms and terraces.

  4. if you think the pictures are cool, you should try being there in person.

    my family when there when I was 10 and I was just getting into D&D. blew my mind.

    Knossos is also very cool to see in person.

  5. This is awesome. Reminds me of a luxury, civic version of the Tatooine sets from Star Wars. Wonder if this was an influence.
