#Inktober Day 24 - Chop / Unicorn


There are legends that unicorns are able to sense innocence, and will only allow the most innocent and virtuous virgins to ride them. Legends accompany beliefs, beliefs fuel the spirit realms, and the spirit realms give rise to legends in a symbiotic feedback loop. In certain outer realms, there are anthropomorphic unicorns, appearing generally human except for their equine heads, tails, and pearlescent horns. Linked to the mythlore of the unicorn, these beings are able to sense purity and innocence among those around them. In those places where these unicorn-folk are found, they often adopt the roles of judges and arbiters of truth. While they have few members, there are rare settlements where half a dozen or more may make their homes, and in such places they will take turns as the local executioner, using their ability to sense virtue as a final line of defence to ensure only the guilty are executed.

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.
