A new sequence for a new year

I traditionally start every new year with a new sequence of articles for the blog...I rarely manage to complete a whole year worth of articles, but I always try to give it a good shot. Often the first couple of weeks get regular issues, then a week might get missed every now and then, I might try to catch up with a few weeks seeing double posts for the sequence...and if I get too far behind, I just give up.

I did 52 articles for my "Game Mechani(sm) of the Week" series, I worked through the development of the "Hell on 8 Wheels" board game, but most other attempts just haven't seen it through.

At the moment, I'm pondering what to do for my intended sequence for 2014. 

Any suggestions?

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
