Well, my brain is still mush with a lot of work demands and long hours. And I've found that I'm putting off a lot of exercise, both physical and creative. So this thing has been floating around in my carry-bag since Dyson first posted it in May. Which shows my productivity...
So here's Dysons "Old Fort Ruins & Dungeon," as interpreted by me...
Not much to add here - no real deep creative process to unravel. I liked the interconnection of the surface space as an indication to the subsurface terrain (collapsed area) and its implications for exploration and geometry, and worked it into the narrative of the hows and whys of the adventure. Statted using B/X-OSE-adjacent methodologies. Or something like that...

I hope to get back to a better flow upcoming - looks like I'm over the hump on the current work project (although there are rumblings that I'm taking on a new task). A few friends are discussing a modest collaborative project, and I have a fistful of other maps scattered about to fill with denizens.
Hope this finds you all healthy and finding your own ways to keep creative and connected.
COVID times have a weird effect on creative flow. Sometimes, the extra time at home helps me get things done. Others, I find myself procrastinating even my hobbies and incapable of much more than scrolling my phone.
ReplyDeleteGood luck maintain momentum!
Thanks! greatly appreciated. It's been a disorienting time, for sure.
DeleteGood job! A small-scale exercise is great to get over a creative slump!
ReplyDeleteCurious, how far does the water in #1 extend? Because it could interact in an interesting way with the lightning trap in #4 :D
Nevermind, I enlarged the map and see now that there are a couple of steps before the door out of #1...
Deletethanks - yes, I mostly focus on smaller scale maps in my efforts. Better for a semi-coherent 'story'and with the objective of creating things for 1 to 2 sessions of play.
DeleteAnd you said you gave up mapping...looks like you're doing a great job mapping.
ReplyDeleteI gave up drawing maps. I never stopped stealing maps and trespassing in them....
