#RPGaDay 30 and 31


Day 30 - Describe the ideal room if the budget were unlimited.

Digital projectors, huge space, miniatures, terrain, props... I've done all these over the years and seen that they each have their advantages and disadvantages. It's all a case of having the right things for the game...but these are all secondary to having the right people for the game. If I had to average out my optimum room for the most number of games, it would simply be somewhere with minimal distractions from the outside world, where I could complete a session without getting interrupted, and immerse in the moment of the game narrative for as long as it lasted.

Day 31 - Best advice you were ever given for your game of choice.

For almost any game, mindfulness.

Don't get hooked up on the rules, the outside world, the events beyond your control. Just play the game.

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...

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.
