NaGaDeMon 2017 #8 - Tapping the Zeitgeist

Today I've seen a bunch of articles about the actors on the set of the new version of "Murder on the Orient Express", apparently there was a common weekly game of "Werewolf" among the cast members which even saw visits from other Hollywood celebrities. 

Here's the first article.

Here's the second article

It's not a new idea, but it's just curious that I've started working on the game and then within a week I've suddenly started seeing a range of articles come across my feed. There might simply be some perception bias, maybe there are articles about this that always come u and I've just been ignoring them... or maybe the social media algorithms have noted that I've been posting about this genre of game and now they're directing similar stories and articles in my direction.

Either way, I'm still working away at developing the imagery for the game.

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.
