RPGaDay (Day 5)

Most Recent RPG Purchase


A lot of people have been struggling with the questions associated with the RPGaDay for one reason or another. This is one of those questions for me. I've wanted to buy a few games lately, but one reason or another haven't done so.

The most recent game product I've acquired is +Jesse Morgan's Ronden Marr, as a review copy. That was my extra post yesterday.

The most recent general gaming product I've purchased is an expansion book for the Malifaux miniatures game named Rising Powers. I'm counting this as an RPG purchase because the information in this book will be contributing toward a multiform game campaign that I'll be involved in. The multiform will be a combination of parlour freeform for political elements, rubber blades and nerf guns for one-on-one action, and miniatures for skirmishes between teams lead by characters.

My most recent purchase directly from a game-designer/artist was a series of A5 prints from +Jez Gordon. Evocative black and white pieces that really speak of dark and gritty worlds.

None of these purchases are regrets.

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.
