Because I am the lazy

It occurred to me that Santa Catarina Island and the coast adjacent would make an interesting map for a secondary world fantasy ttrpg. It's a mountainous region of Brazil, so lots of varied terrain, and not somewhere the people with whom I game would be familiar.

What I forgot in the half-century since I lived there is its nickname: "Ilha da Magia." Magic Island. Hmmm.

Right, because no one would ever name the largest island of an archipelago "The Big Island".

I lived in a town called Big Flats which was renamed from Grand Plains, which the inhabitants thought was too fancy. It was, of course, the big flat spot in the valley between two Appalachian ridges.

I grew up in Big Flats! When people ask where it is, I tell them "Go through Painted Post, but if you get to Horseheads you went too far."
