Working From Scratch: Maps & Markers

0

On this edition of Working From Scratch I would like to discuss a subject very near and dear to my heart: maps & map markers.

Glass Beads I love using maps and visuals in my game sessions; anything from Powerpoint Presentations (I am not even kidding here) to grid maps and wet-erase markers I have used it. If it is something easy (and economical if possible) that helps my players better visual and immerse themselves in the game then I am all for it. Along this same line however I have ended up running more games away from my normal gaming environment, which means that materials like this all need to be small and relatively portable for best use.

Do you have a preferred layout / design for adventure modules?

For example, do you prefer the adventure module to list out a dungeon room by room.. with all of the information relevant to that a room grouped into one spot (description, bad guys, loot, etc)?

We really need to ruminate on adventure module layout. Needless page flipping could really get eliminated, I suspect.

Website Update – “Contact Us” Form

We have overhauled the back-end mechanism running our Contact Us form on the website. We were finding some longer page load times in association with the mechanism we were previously using, which prompted us finding a more streamlined solution. This means that if you were attempting to us the previous form and ran into trouble, you should give our new Contact Us form a spin!
