2011

New Year...new ideas.

No, actually its going to be year of revisiting old ideas. Getting them finished...Getting them right.

I've been plugging away at my Quincunx Graphic Novel over the past few weeks. The first 28 page issue (of 6) is getting its final touches, and I have about 75% of the CGI renderings, photographs and ink paintings to complete the remaining issues. The last few days have been all about compiling the stuff I've got rather than fussing over details and avoiding the task of actually compiling the end product.

Hopefully that labour of love will be done soon.

This year I've also committed to releasing a few new variants/expansions for my Hold Em Scene Generator, a product released late last year on RPGNow. It's already started selling and might actually turn out to be a decent earner if the current numbers keep up. One release per month would be nice easy target (as long as things don't get too chaotic elsewhere in my life).

I also have to get the final touches done on "High Plains FUBAR" with a dramatic twist on the FUBAR/Walkabout rules for tense gunfights, going native and dealing with bounties. These FUBAR genre expansions I hope to release on a monthly basis as well.

2010 was a year of going through crap and setting things up with mixed results. 2011 is shaping up to be a year of building on the past and structuring a framework for the long term future.

Here at the blog, I'll be going back tomy Game Mechanism of the Week, since that seemed to be a pretty popular series. This time I'll be analysing things a bit more carefully, and the next post will go into detail about that.

Anyway...

...to everyone who's reading, I hope 2011 brings you success, fun and good gaming.

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.
