Image work and page layouts

 If you're linked to me on various social media platforms, you've probably seen these. They're some of the preliminary page layouts I've been working on over the past couple of weeks.





If you had read through the How to Run a Game series that I did back in February, or if you've purchased a copy of The Law, you'll probably recognise a few elements found in these page layouts. I'm basically trying to up the ante on those ideas for the Walkabout project. There's also a bit of overlap with the Walkabout blog that I was writing a decade ago, because I still really want to write the whole game in the form of a graphic novel, or at least a format that is more graphically than textually oriented.

I might keep the old character's names, but now the red-headed member of the group is the narrator/GM/oracle, while there are four players (two male and two female). We'll follow through a few key elements of game play as we follow players making a few different types of characters, then follow those characters through a basic introductory story that highlights various parts of the game system. 

I haven't quite worked out

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.
