#gridded map

[losttrailsmaps]

Shrouded in mist and overgrown with twisted vines, this ancient graveyard lies forgotten beneath the gnarled roots of time, its tombstones whispering tales of the past. Beneath the earth, a secret crypt waits in silent darkness, its cold stone halls guarded by restless spirits and long-forgotten wards.

Cheers everyone! Welcome to the Graveyard Map Pack. It features 10 total graveyard maps, including tombstones, crypts, mausoleums, and much more.

Patrons get access to gridded/ungridded and watermark-free maps!

You can view the complete map pack here.

do you have any tips for elden ring? this is so much harder than i expected lol (ive yet to even kill margit 😭

If you're hitting up against a boss and struggling, do some exploring! Esp. once you get a decent feel for what certain landmarks look like--churches for instance almost always have useful items and will have a similar look on the map.

Also I don't wanna spoil anything but if you're struggling w Margit there's an area oriented south of Limgrave that might be a good place to explore and get some levels going; it's what I tend to do on my playthroughs though there's no "right" order to do things per se

Also don't forget to level vigor hehe 😁👍

This week I have been doing Stoned Exposure Therapy which is where I wait for the edible to hit, leave the house, recite the litany against fear ("I must not fear, fear is the mind-killer," &c.), then psych myself into attempting a mundane activity that freaks me out for autism reasons (if avoiding it is impeding how I want to move through the world). Today's Stoned Exposure Therapy was "take a shorter but totally unfamiliar bus route back from the movie theater instead of a familiar bus route that is 35 minutes longer with an extra transfer." I did it and only got lost once 😤

Do you ever think about how they were the only drivers who *knew* each other on the grid at the time? Last pic unearthed by flatoutin-eaurouge

In exciting personal life news, I recently downloaded a step tracker rewards app with GPS, and I've been using it discover safe (sidewalk-enabled) walkable routes to a number of places. Yesterday I found out my credit union is just 4,000 steps away (about 40 minutes if I walk very slowly) and I also found that a separate walking trail I enjoy but have had to drive to in the past connects to my neighborhood!

Sometimes you're getting ready for bed and the urge to write purple prose Warhammer 40k fanfiction slaps you in the face so hard you stay awake until 1:30 writing.

And by writing, I mean researching because in all my years of 40k experience, it never occurred to me that Games Workshop just do not give a fuck about the details of space travel. Like, there's a galactic map but its very broad strokes and it seems like, in every edition, important landmarks just move around.

Beyond that, there are very beautiful drawings of fuck off massive star ships that have no interior schematics at all. Where do people go in these things? What parts are for what?

The answer is it literally does not matter because they are only there to give background for how you got to Fuckedupplanetland IV where you will be engaging in land combat with enemy flavor of the week.

I don't blame them for this necessarily. Armies on ground maps are what they're selling. This isn't X-Wing. But like, I've played Fantasy Flight's Rogue Trader and it never occurred to me that for all that game takes place in space, there's very little... space travel to it.

There have been a lot of hand waving reasons for the inconsistencies in universe. Warp travel is so fucked up and weird that the people mapping the galaxy can only really guess where they and major landmarks are. But the fact that I could only find one example of space coordinates and they used fucking compass directions is boggling. Yeah, you've got segmentums and sectors but those are vast, vast sections of the galaxy. Ostensibly, there are subsectors, but those are never represented on a single map. How do the people in this universe ever get where they're trying to go in their monstrous city ships that are as full of fog of war as any battlefield because no one knows where anything is in them?

I don't know. I'm probably frustrated because I spent four hours scouring books, Lexicanum, Reddit, and any other sundry sources I could find only for the answer to end up being "I dunno, make shit up." I could have done that at the beginning of this ride. I'm a fanfic writer. Making up characters and scenarios and dialogue is what I do. But I find the 'make shit up' approach kills my emersion faster than anything else when it comes to things that should be technical knowledge in a universe.

Four hours, all for a single paragraph where an Astropath sends a distress call with fucking coordinates in it and I still had to fudge it.

I love being a writer.
