A busy tabletop with custom maps, a wood-carved dice box, free character sheets and more goodies grime the Voyager’s Workshop!

A real cartographer, used to working with real geographic data, decides to try his map making skills on a ‘fantasy’, game-inspired world: specifically Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri. This essay is a deep dive into the technical aspects of what it took for him to make the map, and the difference between making traditional real-world maps and fantasy maps. A small group of you may be interested in his journey, and the story he tells. #Maps #Cartography #MapMaking #AlphaCentauri

Here's a map I finished yesterday for author K.C. Towski's book Mistress of Helena. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/228260302-mistress-of-helena?from_search=true&from_srp=mt9RfQI8Av&qid=1

A map showing navigational charts.. On the left, a landmass with unknown region in the Northwest covered with mist. The same goes for the ocean in the far East. The map is unlabelled.

so my game won't have an in-game map, but the player will have to make their own map (like on graph paper or in MS Paint) of the dungeon they're exploring based on the descriptions of the dungeon in the dialogue...

but I went ahead and made a map for myself, just for reference... I can't share the whole thing because spoilers, but here's a snippet:

It’s always nice to finish a project with the compass rose. Should do it more often.

No matter how complex and detailed a map is, I break down my process into three basic stages: sketching, inking and colouring. This gives me constant opportunities to reassess my design and storytelling choices and let the map reveal itself as I go!

The maps for @cawoodpublishing ‘s Ghosts of Wrath are almost finished. As before, it has proven to be an amazing collaboration while making another really fun TTRPG adventure module!
