Sea of O'sr: Call For 3-Hour Islet Submissions

First, Telecanter asked:

what if there were one page islands and people wrote a bunch of them? Then you might have a campaign that you could pick and choose from a variety of isles.

Then Planet Algol mused about whether or not the OSR could produce a Paizo-esque "Adventure Path," rightly surmising that:

There's no reason that an Adventure Path has to be a tasteless save-the-world railroad. It can be a series of interconnected sandbox-ish environments with an overarching narrative. A picaresque pulp serial instead of Dragonlance.

Then Paul Gorman at Quickly, Quietly, Carefully posted this call to action:

Will anyone join me in jump starting the island hopping "Sea of O'sr" project with a 3-hour islet?

And the project is underway!

Tell your friends, spread the word: The Sea of O'sr Sandbox-Style Adventure Path is seeking 3-Hour Islet submissions. As Paul suggests, you may consult the wikipedia "Islet" page for inspiration, and I would urge you to look at migellito's completed Islet map and Paul's just-posted Isle map teaser as well.  There is some vague consensus around generating the islet maps on a roughly 300'-per-hex scale, but nothing is set in stone -- anything goes!  See Paul's blog and the comments to the original proposal post for the latest brainstorming around the project.

Fight On!
