The Adventure-Point Crawl Campaign: From the Sorcerer's Skull

I've been building something similar recently, which is a "land ship" campaign where the one thing I ask the players to all do with their characters is to be commited to starting a revolution.

I intend to have my pointcrawl map, which in a naval game is extra easy via ports and docks, which help immersion, although my game is on land so I'm going to make it a little more vague to mark off stopping points.

I'm also smashing my campaign node map and villain clocks into one by building a Night's Black Agents style Conspyramid, where every node has a clock, with the high-up options being more game changing but slower, so the players have a tangible feel for how their action impacts the world.

What I'm currently trying to do is make this an in-game guide. This is where a port map is a fun solution, or if this is on land and in a particularly small area like a valley, a stables map could suffice. It's a little harder to convey my conspyramid of clocks to the party organically. If someone plays a warlock I can probably deliver it via their patron, otherwise it may need to come via a spy network who can actually track these clocks and nodes in world, I'm sure I'll figure something out there.
