Town Maps for Town Guards

I'm working on some modular map components for the Town Guard game. These will be printed onto hex tiles, and the first part of the game is to set up the town that you'll be guarding for the session.

8 down, 4 to go. The price calculations for the basic game mean that I can only fit 12 town segments into the box, but that should be enough for some interesting modular effects and replayability.

I'm now considering options for colouring the maps and adding further details like texturing.

They are very interesting. They raise a lot of questions. How will they be used? Do the players move their guards along the roads? Are there terrain dependant rules? (such as bridges affecting movement?) Are any of the building significant to game play? (as in different activities/abilities available at a church/guard tower/mansion/thieves guild/etc) As I said, so many question! LOL! :-) Can't wait for more updates.

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.
