    Default Mar/April '20 Lite Challenge: Adventure Island

    Mar/April '20 Lite Challenge: Adventure Island
    This month's Challenge is to Map an Island that can be used for an Adventure. Stranded on a strange island is a recurring theme for many books and movies. Lost, Robinson Crusoe, Neverland, Swiss Family Robinson, The Island of Doctor Moreau, Castaway, Blue Lagoon, Island of Misfit Toys, Gilligan's Island, Life of Pi, King Kong, at least one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Anyway, create a fantasy island (hey, there's another one!) that can be used for an adventure.
    The island should have some predominant feature to focus the adventure on, a lagoon, a volcano, a sea cave, a hidden village or pirate port, a secret spring, an entrance to a hidden world... All of the Above!

    This will be fun, don't miss it!

    Win a silver compass, it will change your life,,,, Ok, not really.

    The Challenge will run until the end of the day on the 14th of April, (Midnight eastern daylight time between the 14th and 15th, more or less, depending on when I can get to the computer to start the voting) and then there will be 3 days of voting. Someone is going to win a Silver Compass, it could be you!

    As usual, title your threads: "Mar/April '20 Lite Challenge: << your title here >> "

    Don't forget to put the hashtag: ### Latest WIP ### in front of all WIP pictures, and especially in front of your final map. And don't forget, there is a WIP button that automatically posts this for you. Try it, You'll like it!

    And remember, if you put more than one image on the same post, only one of them gets picked up.

    DEADLINE: End of day, April 14th

    Quick rules reminder: The Lite Challenge is open to anyone who has not already won 3 Silver compasses, 1 Gold Compass, or been selected as a featured Cartographer's Choice Map.
    Also, the map has to be started on or after the first day of the challenge, no reusing older maps even if they were not finished.

    Can it be a chain of islands? Still region, but multiple?
    (I'm still going to focus on a load of details concerning the adventuring possibilities. But I was thinking of a story that starts out on one of the more peaceful islands and then end up at the more forgotten chain.)

    I'm actually considering to participate in this. Already have a little idea. But let's see how much energy the next few days will consume.

    I have an idea or two for this challenge, but will have to see if I can find some time. Too much craziness with everything that's going on right now.

    Yes Bogie, great, fun and much needed light-hearted theme

    I hope I have time to enter a map as I have an unusual idea for it.
