This map reminds me that the Road to El Dorado would make for a fun DND campaign

Running a campaign based on the Ixalan setting in MTG so I'll definitely be getting some use out of this!

Because Ball is Life! But also? Ball is *death*.

Man I could have used this about a year ago when I had my superhero game traveling through time!

Thank you so much for this! Mesoamerican-inspired maps are so rare and they're always bangers

If I was still running my campaign in Hearth this would've been right at home (along with the Couatl Interior and Exterior maps). (Y'all need to get Team Superhydra back together.)

One day maybe! Everyone's quite busy these days. The Pandemic, unsurprisingly, gave us all a bit of spare time!

The Lonely Sand Person

Meso-American figurines of ball players have some kind of padding or armor wrapped around their middle as well as their elbows and knees (and in fact the padding is kind of diagnostic for "this statue is a ball player") so one presumes they would always be striking it with a protected joint.

The Lonely Sand Person

Well, archaeological evidence indicates that the "losers got sacrificed" thing was not the standard, but rather a specific scenario that was blown out of proportion by Christian writers who were motivated to paint the native peoples as barbaric. In short, if they had some prisoners of war who were definitely going to get sacrificed one way or another, having them play ball was just a method of selection, akin to Rome putting prisoners in the gladiatorial arena.
