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

Behold, the first #dnd character i ever played. #adnd1e circa 1982/3, i was maybe seven years old.

The handwriting is mostly from my long departed dad, who taught us the path.

I think this guy died going down to the second level of #quasqueton

Sometimes I think that thanks to the inherent debt spiral #Traveller is better at diegetic explanation for adventuring than any of #DnD systems. I mean it basically forces you to adventure by how spaceships and debts are set and how it sets up all the things like jumps, worlds, where to buy stuff, how to make money, patrons and pirates.

I think if you worked on feudalism as Coins and Scrolls does it you'd have diegetic adventuring more like Traveller than DnD.
