Cards or Booklets

For Voidstone Chronicles, the majority of the rules are contained in a series of pocketmod booklets.

Players also get a small range of cards for easy reference to their equipment, their conflict actions (attacks, defences, spells, prayers, etc.)

At the moment this means there are a LOT of cards, and most players won't get to see even a quarter of the available options. I'm wondering if it will be easier to compile this information into booklets, or leave them as cards. If I was to take the booklet option, there might be a "Book or Imperial Weapons", a "Book of Armour", a "Book" for different cults and religions containing the relevant prayers, a "Book" detailing the spells available to a certain school...etc.

The idea is to make it accessible for players, but maybe this is just confusing things.

That's my rant for the moment.

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.
