Another useful thing. For multi-level buildings, I'll draw the outline of the building on one layer. Or after making the first one I will create a layer and just draw around the outline on that. Then I can use that outline layer to help draw the othe building levels without counting squares.

I need to brush up on some things. Example: I can never remember how to simply select something I've drawn and copy it and paste it. I don't really try to make my maps totally amazing, just functional. Sometimes I put notes right on a map for the GM layer.

It has taken me a couple of months to stop making dumb mistakes, like forgetting to change layers, etc. I still have a lot to learn, but it is going well.

In practice, I export the GMs layer as a jpeg on the iPad as well, and just open it in Photos when I need it. Procreate is pretty easy to learn, the apple pencil (cheaper version) works great. It has made my online map making 100% less frustrating.

For stuff on the GM can see, I make layer called GM, and make all the marking on that. I can turn that layer off, export the map for the players as a jpeg. Then I can see the GM's version on the iPad by turning that layer on again.

I started to make a vid and realized it isn't needed. I use Procreate on the iPad and an Apple Pencil. I have graph and hex paper 8.5 x 11 saved. I start a project by importing that as layer one. Then I do all my other drawing on additional layers, to avoid erasing grid lines.

Boneshaker I found enjoyable, but not enjoyable enough to really want to revisit the next book or two in that series. Or the genre.

Classic #TravellerRPG happened tonight. Building of a flame thrower. Riding grav bikes at high speed through organic tunnels in a super-dense jungle. Bioluminescent ecology. Giant aggressive Mega-Beetles with sickening cone chemical weapon. Hand grenades, auto rifles, submachine guns. More to come.

A little MTU thing I've been working on for #TravellerRPG. For a thing that you'll hopefully hear more about soon.

It has been a hard week. I've been getting over Covid, and then current events go nuts. My brain is tired. I think the best thing to do right now, for me, is to just keep my mouth shut and rest.

thanks. I have been sicker before, but man this has sapped my energy like nothing else.

It's rare for me to indulge in afternoon coffee, but this is my first day back at work after more than a week off with Covid, and I need a little coffee to get me over the hump.

Apple further celebrated its TechBoi Sex Orgy by informing me via email tonight that my Apple TV subscription is increasing by $3 per month.

I celeb​rated by canceling my subscription.

I was​ enjoying Foundation, but you know life will no be that much the poorer without it.

That is true. We've been striving for a 2-hour session every Tuesday night for a few months. It helps a lot. Now, I have fucking Covid right now so it will be a couple of weeks til we play. I'm am a bit downtrodden at the moment.
