I want there be a reason to go somewhere new and unexplored, and have that be a valid, "this is a tough decision" alternative to finding another goblin cave or whatever.Not_A_Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04699015450721141211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-42568117167392784942012-03-01T12:52:47.327-08:002012-03-01T12:52:47.327-08:00@giordanisti

It was a "city" built in China roughly the size of an NFL stadium that had a population density of 5 million people per mile. It consisted of buildings built on top of buildings, no central authority, no natural light for the majority of its residents, a yellow haze that filled every structure, and untold miles of jury-rigged electrical wiring. It seemed far too similar to the setting of Gigacrawl, and I figured you should know about it.
