where would add a campaign using similar elements from Nausicaa Valley of the Wind?

I am a huge fan of Studio Ghibli's Nausicaa Valley of the Wind. Where would you locate elements from that i.e. Toxic Jungle, Gargantuan Insects. In the mwangi expanse, or some place different.

Alkenstar and the Mana Wastes could work too. They have a toxic environment and mutated wildlife.

I wonder about a place in the dragon empires?

I have to ask -- why does it need to be in Golarion? One of the key themes of the story is isolation. You lose a lot of that if you're simply an airship ride away from Cheliax.....

[ariddrake]

Maybe thats the best way to go. Don't make it Golarion. Just make it another planet on the material plane. Cross Nausicaa and Panzer dragoon Orta. Only reason I was thinking Golarion was because it already can be used for so man other tropes i.e. Ravenloft, wild west, scifi, vikings, etc.

There's actually a moon that'd be perfect for a Nausicaä story! One of the moons of Liavara, Osoro, has a poisonous atmosphere and the inhabitants who live there live on the mountaintops and travel by hang-gliders and magical beasts. There's not much detail on it in Distant Worlds, so you could basically do whatever in terms of maps.

Ahem, Valashmai

Make up stuff about Sarusan. It's Fantasy Australia, only damn near impossible for anybody else to get to. And the best part is Paulo likely won't nail down any details of Sarusan in the near future.
