Getting the final bits of the zine in order

One of the annoying things about developing a collaborative zine is when some of the collaborators don't provide the articles they promised, and when this impacts the ongoing release schedule. I had hoped by this stage that I'd have had all of the articles ready to go for the third issue of the "Beneath the Glass and Steel" zine, but I'm still missing about half of the text. I guess that means I'm going to have to write those articles myself... which kind of defeats the purpose of the collaborative zine.

I'm not abandoning the project yet, especially when a whole bunch of people have pledged to the Kickstarter. It just means shifting a few priorities around.

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
