Within the Spinward Marches, the Sword Worlds subsector includes the worlds of Orcrist, Narsil, Anduril, Sting, and other reminders that canonically the galaxy was colonized by nerds (From Traveller Supplement 3: The Spinward Marches, GDW, 1979.) Previously

A very general grid map of my Border Prince region. All randomly rolled up using Renegade Crowns from WHFRPG 2nd ed. Currently this region is, like most areas of the Border Princes, untamed and wild, while 4 petty rulers squabble over the areas.

The current "Princes" in this realm are: "Earl" Rufgar McCleod, an Ex-Mercenary Dwarf Emilio Rinaldo "The Boss", a former Tilean bandit "Prince" Guy Allard, a aging Bretonnian Knight "Gildemeister" Jaffar Wazak, a merchant prince of Araby

Along with plenty of Lairs and Ruins to be uncovered alongside the court and military intrigue between 4 bickering "rulers".

Here Be Cannibals: Mapping Generic OSR-Land

[labyrinthlurker]

After some fine-tuning, I’ve finally landed on a color scheme for my Kaiju-themed game, #kaijuHexicutioner. While I have access to #HexKit and an array of tiles and tools, my iPad is my go-to these days, so installation is off the table. Instead, I embraced the budget-friendly route with my free Canva account. To piece it all together, the “Hex Kit Tile Snapping Template” from ATellingEllipsis on itch.io has been an absolute game-changer for laying down tiles in that perfect hex style.

I’ll probably keep all the art/layout/design in this scheme. What do you guys think?

Just to clarify, I’m currently working on two Kiaju related projects inspired by son, Monster Brains blog, Shojio Otomo, Lancer, Yokai Hunter, and a million other things.

1 - Kaiju Hexicutioner - for Roll Up Jam on itch.io. A simple flavor rich hex crawl with a bunch of dailed in d66 tables for worldbuilding

2. - Unnamed Kaiju and Yokai Game – This hybrid journaling and tactical combat game draws inspiration from the battle boards seen in RUNE and *Magnagothica: Maleghast.* It features a unique mechanic of yokai collecting through physical cards, where players can collect, kill, buy, sell, trade, or even set yokai free. With a nod to *Shin Megami Tensei*, player characters can also acquire yokai (and potentially Kami) powers.

The story follows a young boy or girl who forms an unexpected bond with a kaiju in a post-apocalyptic world inspired by medieval Japan. Set on a small island once decimated by ancient Kaiju wars, the landscape bears the scars of battles between colossal kaiju and mecha. Over time, the survivors rebuilt, forming small settlements and a single large city, each with its own unique culture, customs, and religion. After years of peace and restoration, the island’s fragile tranquility is shattered when a notorious and powerful kaiju reappears, laying waste to the capital city and plunging the island into collective mourning over the shared tragedy.

Embark on a journey across the land, where you'll explore diverse landscapes and capture monsters and yokai, with opportunities to harness their power for yourself. Salvage materials to craft and trade, and interact with various factions and influential figures, gaining insights into their communities. Most villages and settlements exude a peaceful, cozy atmosphere reminiscent of *Animal Crossing*, *Stardew Valley*, and *Zelda*. However, be prepared to encounter numerous evil, cursed, tainted, and haunted locations along the way.

I’ll probably tie them together with similar themes and design.

The Bay of Birini

I have recently started work on a bronze age lost world style setting called the Bay of Birini. It's a hex crawl over a 50 x 50 mile area. It uses a bunch of shit from other people because it's a home game thing so I am not gonna post the hexes because a chunk of them are written by other people. Instead here is the plain map and the hex fill procedures that used for the making of it!

Testing out some cronchy pre-rendered sprites and a tileset for a potential upcoming Lancer campaign! Getting the tiles to work with a hex map was kind tricky, but I managed to do it with 6 different tiles for cliff sides.

3 Sessions of Mythic Bastionland with Thomas and MadJay, Sunday Mornings in July

When I found myself in a thread in an online conversation with Thomas Manuel in which he said that he was interested in playing Mythic Bastionland, I sent a quick email to Jay and jumped at the opportunity. Below is the starting map the players will see as we begin the game. There’s more out there but for now, that is what is known. They know the High Lord’s castle is at the foot of The Mountain…

Sorry we're late this week

Ibushi got lost looking for his Queen again

but anyway, here's the latest installment of my weekly(ish) Monster Hunter Drawing Challenge with @artgoes-here

[nothingrpgzone]

The Hyrule Grand Campaign: Hyrule

I am gonna slowly work on making this more and more of a thing. This was started a while ago before TotK came out and revealed the goat people zonai.

I'm slowly working on creating my own legend of zelda themed hex crawl, and I do mean slowly this map was first created september 2022.

The basic gist is that it takes place during the Hyrulean Civil War in a "Shot and Sorcery" setting.

Matchlock firearms exist

Black powder was not invented, instead blue powder (dried and gentle pulverized bombflowers)

Kingdoms with fertile land farm bombflowers to fuel their plans of domination.

Monsters stalk the hinterlands, making population centers outside of the control of the kingdoms incredibly rare.

Ancient technology and malice dot the landscape, if any one kingdom was able to harness these powers they might be able to upset the delicate balance.

You can download the keys and character creation rules here.

This will slowly be updated with more and more stuff as time goes on.

This map and project predates the goat reveal of the zonai so idk if I am gonna stick with human zonai or not.

Lancer Battlemap post #1, I'll post these guys weekly since I can't share EVERYTHING at once to keep a few secrets from players. On the plus side? You'll get to see my map-making improve with each map lol. Here we have a map for a Holdout sitrep; the players need to defend the tank in the center from oncoming enemies who want to steal it from them. A nice intro to a western themed Lancer campaign, and you can make a bunch of railroading jokes as it literally starts on a train.
