#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 😤

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.

Would have been cool if they had gone with their original idea of Galerius becoming an evil centaur Unicorn while Alain becomes a Unicorn with his chosen maiden riding him.

I think this would have needed too many rewrites of the plot to go anywhere lol

But now I'm imagining maiden-Mordon riding Unicorn!Alain and I can't ignore it anymore

From what I could understand (and what I put through the GT lens, this artbook has so many stuff I want to understand lol idk where to start!) some ideas from the beta version was about having an unit called "unicorn knight" - whose model was later re-used to make Virginia/Ilenia and Alain - but idk if the main lead - they designed the "prince" unit, that was re-used for Gilbert! - was able to turn in an unicorn, like proto-alain, or if it was from another scrapped draft thing.

They also had ideas about adding monsters on the fields, but dropped it so the only "remains" from this idea are the bones from Drakengard and Baltro's ominous lines.

TBH... I don't know if I would have appreciated this "monster" inclusion given how Fodlan completely botchered it (but then UO seems to have been designed with more care than Fe Fodlan so...) but if they went through the "and Baltro resurrects long dead/forgotten monsters to fight against the party!" it'd have been to reminiscent of a FE game where a Gharnef like resurrects "dragons" to fight/use against the party lol

Galerius' evil centaur thing, like him having a second transformation/phase would have been neat, and yet, I still think painting him as a "red emperor" was, despite the ties to FE, really nice, in the sense that Galerius is Alain's foil and would be a "him" that didn't bother to read to the plot, thus gets fucked by it at the end (Baltro doing Baltro things once again, since it was his idea in the first place to kill an unicorn!).

But then, I suppose if centaur!Galerius and unicorn!Alain were kept in the final product, VW would have found a way to write them in an acceptable plot so, who knows?
