Hi everyone. Haven't been on socials much recently... mainly because lots of s/m just makes me sad seeing everything happening around the world.

Nice to see a bunch of new followers

Any map makers or RPG fans here?

A coloured map of my January #dungeon24 challenge.

Progress nicely.

What do you think of the colours, I don't normally colour my maps?

Today's #dungeon24 map

We rolled another 1 - which means more plains were added.

We see the Soundless Expanse redone and expanded, as well as additional grasslands added around the Dragon's Wake rift.

Gutted by the death of Jennell today, and I'm going to try to exorcise some of the anger and sorrow through music while I try to draw a dungeon or something.

A lot of loud music, a bit of ink, and probably a few tears.

Feel free to join me.

The World of Verroa is a incredible map project I created for Dark Deity 2, an upcoming sequel to Sword & Axe’s turn based #RPG. While these close-ups don’t entirely reflect the final look of the in-game map, it definitely hints at a rich and exciting world!

Something I've noticed over the years of being a fantasy cartographer is how many people build their world around the story instead of building a world to tell the story in. Rarely do they add elements that may not further the plot but instead add moments of wonder for the characters. 1/2

#dungeon24: Another roll of the dice see's me adding a Point of Interest and another settlement.

An ancient draconic battle left a large rift in the ground.

Plus, Hulgrad, the mining town set at the base of the recently added (currently unnamed) mountains

Simple but highly useful and versatile map.

(Simple is in no way a comment on the quality. Top work!)

Some scribbles from the old notebook

πŸͺ¨ Collapsed Tunnels πŸͺ¨

Random Q, do you prefer old dungeons to show collapses, age, wear-and-tear and other post-building changes like these?

I alternate between loving sparse maps and maps like this where there's no unused space...

But man this one is great πŸ€˜πŸ‘

Those mountains... wow your hand must ache! Looking good though, especially those snaking rivers.

For the frieze, what's the difference between the red and black?

Anyone want to help suggest a name for a deep underground prison or vault for a D&D style map?

You got about 2hrs!

A quick and dirty demo map

Trying a new method of hatching around the walls - what do you think?

My thoughts of a mega dungeon are
🟑 Multiple floors
🟑 Sprawling rooms and corridors
🟑 Linear & non-linear connections between floors
🟑 Varied themes/biomes between floors
🟑 Requirement to return to surface semi-regularly
🟑 Different factions. Usually fighting

100% up to you though
Does that help?

Hey GMs, do you need a small map filled with bubbling lava or oozy sludge?

Generating some icons for my #kofi and future #patreon tiers.

Does this look like a silver coin to you?

Do you have a suggestion for an icon or object for the center?

Inspired heavily by an actual RPG coin I have - however the manufacturer alludes me (anyone recognise the shape?)

Nah.... sounds like you can cram in a new business. You're currently sleeping right? Well you can stop that straight away! Instant 6-8hrs ready for editorial and business shenanigans

Attention holding and strategising sound like two great takeaways. Will keep an eye out for this product when it drops
