What small towns are surrounded by forests?
I'm writing a book that takes place in a small town surrounded by a forest. only i don't have the location of any small towns surrounded by a forest. P.S the small town has a high school, and middle school in it (small towns tend to bus kids form other towns to it).
What are some mysterious names for a small town?
Sometimes using a general adjective works better than a creepy one. For example, "Windless Hallow" sounds eerier to more than "Mystery Hallow". Pairing a general adjective with a landmark often works well. Windless Hallow Flight Hill Fallen Lake Dead peoples' names always help, too. Or adding "Saint" at the front. Poe Valley Saint Roan
In D&D, my players set a small pine forest fire near a town we've all grown attached to. How badly should the town be burned by the time they get back in 24 hours?
This seems like a good time to introduce your players to some Fire Elementals!Long story short, my players did the exact same thing! They too set a pine forest on fire near a village. It basically forced them to move out in a hurry, passing up some encounters and treasure along the way. They tried to put it out, but it went out of control too quickly. (BTW … A fire is a really good plot-hammer if you need one!)In retrospective, I should have had the blaze trigger the interest of a fire elemental, and have it chase them with animated flames and so on. Once they were gone, I could have turned the Elemental on the town, destroy it and scatter the inhabitants.Upon their return, the PCs would need to rescue the inhabitants from whatever perils they encounters outside the protection of the town (Goblin tribe, carnivorous plants, fairy charms, bandits) and also clear the town of the Elemental and whatever creatures the conditions attracted.ADVENTURE 1 — Escape the fire they started (lots of movement issues to account for) plus panicked beasties. Hints of an intentionally directed fire.ADVENTURE 2 — The actual adventure you had planned.ADVENTURE 3 — Return to the Village. It’s ~still~ on fire! How could this be? Fire Elemental plus a few fire-type creatures.ADVENTURE 4 — Rescue 10 villagers from Goblin CampADVENTURE 5 — Fairies/fae have 5 villagers enthralled! You must quest for the fae to get them released. (A really easy quest, but the roleplay with the fairies is fun. If the PCs don’t do it, they’ll compel the villagers to undertake the quest)ADVENTURE 6 — Another group of villagers, about 15, have been captured by bandits and they’ve already been sent out to be sold as slaves. The PCs need to intercept them before it’s too late!
What are some suggestions of a small town near a forest and a big city?
Well, let’s see. I don’t know the town in New Zealand. However, Cecil Plains (where I live) is a small rural town in Queensland Australia (about 800 people). It has a pub (of course!), a school, a small shop which sells fuel only by appointment, a Post Office, a policeman, a small library, a public pool, a memorial hall with beautiful murals, 3 small active churches, a nurse that’s present twice a week and a doctor that visits once a week, and a golf club just out of town. Industries are the grain silos, a sawmill and a cotton gin 5k out of town (the main crop is cotton but grains and vegetables are also grown in rotation on the black volcanic soil). It is about half an hour away from a larger rural town (Dalby) which has a supermarket and hospital and more shops and services, and an hour away from Toowoomba, a provincial city. Cecil is also about 2.5–3 hrs away from the big city i.e. Brisbane. And Cecil is right next to a whole lot of state forest. How does that sound?If your book is not about some crazed mass murderer or other unsavoury character feel free to consider Cecil Plains!

Small town in USA or Canada surrounded by forest with wolf population. =)?
Canada's one of the most forested nations in the world. And only Russia has more wolves than Canada. So I'd definitely recommend going with a Canadian location. However, with so much forest and so many wolves, it's hard to narrow things down. Canada's also a geographically bigger country than the United States. I'm going to recommend towns near Algonquin Provincial Park - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algonquin_P... The park is huge: 7653 square kilometres of wilderness. And it's home to a large wolf population containing 2 distinct wolf species: - Grey wolves (Canis lupus) and Eastern Canadian wolves (Canis lycaon) If you Google Algonquin Park and select Images to pictures of it, you'll see why I suggest it. If you Google search for "towns near Algonquin Park" you'll get a list of them. (Or use Google Maps to locate how far they are from the park.) That whole area has lots of hills and valleys so it shouldn't be too hard to find a good one. Hope this helps, and good luck with your story!
Where is a coniferous forest in canada and what are towns near it?
See this page: http://pfc.forestry.ca/monitoring/invent... The link above should take you to a map [from the Natural Resources Canada website] which shows the volume of coniferous forests across the country. As the map indicates, pretty much all of British Columbia has large volumes of coniferous forests. Some of the major cities/towns in BC include Vancouver, Victoria, Prince George, Kamloops, etc. Parts of Northern Ontario also have significant volumes of coniferous forests. Places like Sudbury, Timmins, Kirkland Lake, etc. are towns that come to mind. Use these detailed maps of Canada for reference if you need them: http://www.cosco.ca/wcanada.jpg http://www.cosco.ca/ecanada.jpg
What are some nice smaller forest towns in Colorado with low crime?
There are SO many! Here are a few of my favorites.Beulah, CO. Located about 30 miles from Pueblo. It is very close to the Wet mountains. Cool summer nights, warm days. Lots of snow in the winter- great sledding and tubing. Close enough to Pueblo to get to “town” things. Wildlife- bears, deer, elk, I’ve even seen roadrunners there! Beulah, Colorado - WikipediaBlack Forest, CO. Located just to the north of Colorado Springs. A combination of piney forest and grasslands. Gorgeous views of Pikes Peak and the United States Air Force Academy. Black Forest, Colorado - WikipediaRye, CO/Colorado City, CO Right at the base of Greenhorn Mountain and close to the San Isabel National Forest. A good mix of pine and aspen. Colorado City, Colorado - WikipediaNederland, CO Nederland, Colorado - Wikipedia Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park and the Indian Peaks Wilderness area. Just shy of 50 miles northwest of Denver. Nederland is famous for the Frozen Dead Guy festival. (I’m not kidding). (no title)Those are just in Eastern Colorado. Even more on the Western Slope and Montrose Valley!
What is the Pokemon is the forest near Lacunosa Town?
It's not Kyurem, that much is clear. I already caught him, but in those things that connect towns to roads, the electrical board says ( this is the one next to Lacunosa Town) "People have spotted a mysterious pokemon in the nearby forest". Is it Kyurem? If so why does the message stay up there?
Could an existing small town, casually located near an airport, become an aerotropolis?
Could an existing small town, casually located near an airport, become an aerotropolis?Probably not (although I'm guessing because the word is so outlandish; I'm assuming that it's intended as a portmanteau of metropolis and aeroport.)It's more likely that the small town would be swallowed by a big city, if the airport were also near that city.If there is no large city near the airport, it's likely that the airport (and perhaps the small town, too) will wither. Contrary to the hopes of people who craft optimistic airport impact studies, airports themselves don't generate economic activity; The airport might multiply the economic effect of business and leisure travel by the local region's population. If a small town near an airport doesn't already have the seeds of massive growth, it never will have them.Transportation nodal cities grew where they served as connection points between centers of economic activity (production or processing), or as transfer points where transportation modes connected. Before air transportation became common and aircraft range lengthened, travelers were willing to stop "on the way" during a long voyage, to rest or refresh themselves. Such landing points were common in the early air transport era, when an airplane needed to refuel at the coastline before a transoceanic flight, but today's long-range aircraft can go non-stop from anywhere to anyplace else on Earth. This allowed airlines to put system hubs exclusively at places that were themselves among the largest origins or destinations of traffic.
