#RPGaDay2025 - 3 Tavern

My easy answer here is the monthly “Medieval Tavern Nights” where I’ve been running regular games over the past year. It was a good idea, but the execution left a bit to be desired. We had nights where people didn’t even know anything was going to be happening until they randomly showed up on the night. I knew people who were waiting for the e=next event, only to be told it had been and gone.

Like conventions, it was always fun to run games for strangers, to see how they might react to a session, or a new set of rules they weren’t familiar with, but I’ve posted numerous times about these nights over the past year on the blog, so there’s not much point going over that ground again.

I’m seeing a bunch of similar nights being hosted all over the place, and it’s great to see gaming creep closer to the mainstream.

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.
