Nardodipace, Calabria, Italy

Considered one of the poorest villages in Italy, Nardodipace has just more than 1.000 inhabitants. A place where one can still perceive an ancient simplicity in everyday gestures. Time is precious here, inhabited mostly by humble farmers who work a land that is often severe, sometimes cruel. The love for the land is so strong that sometimes who lives there renounces to dream of a different life, even cursing himself for the too many lives he has taken away, but also because of the isolation forced by difficulty, unsavory and abandoned roads. Shaking hands and the word given is more valuable than anything else: a place where the non-local is called “Forestieru” but where the initial mistrust is transformed, with human sincerity, in courtesy, welcome and familiarity, with a great desire to tell and be heard. We are accustomed now to give value to places only on the basis of what is produced, but the true value of places and countries lies in the people who live there, they know them and that in spite of everything they love them. A parallel world.

Nardodipace is also famous for its megaliths considered by experts to be a place of worship dating between the Bronze and Iron Ages. The site is found in Nardodipace on the Ionian side of the Serre Mountains.

Abandoned town maps, 40x30 for the long maps and 40x40 for the square one. Spooky foggy environment, in my campaign these were used for a town taken over by a witch, but you can use your imagination!

The lost neighborhood of Lincoln Way

Nestled away at the bottom of a hill in Clairton, the eerie little abandoned neighborhood of Lincoln Way had, in its later years, become an attraction for urban explorers and vandals. Consisting of about 30-40 abandoned homes, speculation on the internet about the reason that the homes were abandoned ran wild, and came to be unfortunately defined by an entirely fabricated and ridiculous story of a "Beast of Lincoln Way" terrorizing the residents.

Horror stories about how pets went missing, there being large claw marks on the trees outside of the homes as proof of the Beast's existence. However, the reality is perhaps more mundane and melancholy. While the history of Lincoln Way is hard to uncover (in part because of the aforementioned monster stories), the first reference to it was in local newspapers dating all the way back to 1910s. According to this excellent and informative piece on Grounded - one of the few recent articles that actually seems to have spoken with former residents to try to present an account based around facts - Lincoln Way was a "vibrant black community" inhabited by "a bustling enclave of large families that relied on each other. The street was home to a church and several stores. A butcher shop supplied meat from livestock raised behind the homes, and gardens and orchards fed the residents." What do you think? Do you believe the monster stories?
