The boggle infecting Bringham Lane end, where four roads meet, is a white dog, known as Willie Sled's dog. Willie Sled used to attend to those who came to Bringham sand-pit; and as nearly every pit in Riding has its goblin, this one is named after him...
Boggles are, of course, shape-shifting bogey beasts that haunt places of transition, like crossroads and streams. They're prone to play (sometimes deadly) tricks on passersby.
While I had the book open, I noticed this map and key:
The key would be a good basis for a series of random tables to spice-up a hex map.
- Churches & holy places
- Devils & demons
- Ghosts, apparitions & screaming skulls
- Giants
- Heroes & villains
- Hidden treasure
- Humorous tales
- Legendary beasts
- Local landmarks
- Phantom beasts
- Place-name stories
- Prehistoric remains
- Royalty
- Sunken cities
- Witches & wizards
I agree excellent
ReplyDeleteGreat addition Paul.
ReplyDeleteHotcha!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm pretty much in favor of any list that includes "screaming skulls". I don't know when I'll have time to expand this, so everyone feel free to riff on it.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that it's plural screaming skulls. I'd expect maybe one per county at the most. Yorkshire must be a creepy place.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome list and map!
ReplyDeleteFound this list via Tower Of The Archmage.
ReplyDeleteConsider it snagged.
Thanks for dropping by, Justin.
