I bought Green Ronin's The Expanse RPG. You can get a FREE quick start rules version of it
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/247982/the-expanse-rpg-quickstart

I like the Dragon Age, Fantasy AGE systems. I do think they suffer a little bit from not having the vast trove of monsters, magic items and lore that D&D has.

Curious to see how the system works for a sci-fi rpg.

I have only skimmed the rules so far, but I applaud the writers for getting the first page of the GMs section right.

Far from finished, but this is the extended shape the improved land of Nicea. The new sections are to the far west and east. Seeing the ocean on both sides really frames the continent and aesthetically improves the map more than I would have guessed. Next I need to add forest details to the west, then colour and the border needs work. #shadows #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg#dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart #largemap#gamesmaster #rpggame #dndcreatives

Back to the magical land of Nicea, I’m working on the line work for the jungles to the East, an excuse to draw lots of dinosaurs in the dense rainforest. It’s for dungeons and dragons so the land need to invite exploration. The jungle is criss crossed by rivers, with tall rock formations and mysterious ziggurats. The jungle gives way to a desert region and a few settlements. Plenty of caves and ruins to explore. #mapping #cartography #rpg#dnd #fantasy #map #ttrpg #fantasymap #map #mapmaker

I’m back once again to the magical land of Nicea. The client has been using the map in family games and now wants to extend the map to the east and west so it shows the whole continent which will look great. There is so much this map taught me, I love the spherical projection, I really want to draw a world map this way at some point. #shadows #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg#dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart

I started reading through the Death in Space RPG last night and I really like it. With a few short paragraphs and some well chosen gear and mechanics, it does a good of setting the tone for what it is going for.

One thing that I like from the Mothership rpg is the d100 table of patches you can give characters.

Inspired, I have started my own d100 table for patches for Death in Space. It's a lot of fun.

Here are a couple of the patches for my Mothership inspired Death in Space patches:

* "Spaghettification's on the menu"
* (5% oxygen level left indicator)
* “Did you close the airlock?”
* What doesn’t kill you mutates and tries again”
* (CRT monitor displaying static) “Listen to the Void”
* (Hub spaceship in a bottle)
* “Save the Space Whales!”
* (Pipe organ) “donor”
* “I stared into the Void and it stared back”
* “Solid Welds Save Lives!”

Recent discussions about hypothetical D&D economies led me to look into Roman currency. Here is a great wikipedia image of the common currency in the 27 BC - 100 AD Roman era.

So instead of copper, silver, electrum gold (the D&D standard), the early Roman Empire used various iterations of Bronze, Orichalcum, Silver, Billon, and Gold.

And today I learned Billon is the name for an alloy of silver and gold, or silver and copper, or silver and gold and copper, or basically any alloy of silver and some base metal.

Messed around with making a zodiac constellation chart for my homebrew campaign. It probably will not come up in play but I sometimes think just making things lends a certain versimilitude to the game. Plus, it might lead to other ideas.

I based the zodiac after the real zodiac but sometimes changed the names, sometimes changed the constellation to be one very near, or sometimes made it up.

Now that I am done, I can not rule out that maybe The Elder Scrolls influenced my choices in some subconscious sort of way.
