Yeah, shading would have helped.

I once read (or maybe watched a video?) saying that most cartographers shade as id the sun were in the upper left of the image. Of course, it’s an artist choice, so many more decide against it. :)

But even if you’re not an astronomy enthusiast, you can open up Google Maps and check out the satellite photo layer. Every now and then, you’ll come across a terrain feature that you can’t easily tell if it’s raised or depressed.

 

I tried (and failed) to write a decent pun for a title.

Mostly because I was worried my well wouldn't look like a well. Same for the staircase, actually.

So I abandonded the attempt. Sorry, dad!

 

I've long thought that portraying elevation in top-down maps is extremely hard.

This is sort of a test.

Huh. Didn’t pay much attention myself, but perhaps they meant to convey “availability” instead?

 

They should be useful to connect other micro-maps as geomorphs.

 

Not Kult-exclusive, but definitely Kult-inspired. Malkuth knows I use Kult for inspiration for many games.

Actual plaster. Diluted.

I don't know if there are many types, but it's the one used to fill-in small details or to cover holes left by nails.

This is an almost abandoned project from many years ago. But I thought I'd share anyway.

I also thought I'd share a few images from the process...

You could say I kinda have...

The thing is I mostly use scraps of paper that would otherwise be thrown away or shredded. Also, it's possible that if I used graph paper, my shaky hand would be more noticeable. 😅

Kudos for mentioning Everyone is John.

And since I’m already typing a reply, I might as well link to another obscure RPG (that I haven’t played):

Same thought process on my part. A little bit of laziness might have played a part as well. 😅

Ah, I hadn't thought they could be rival cities.

Maybe even belonging to different kingdoms?

Heh. Yeah... they're very old, and I've reused them many many times.

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah. I noticed after the fact. Oh, well.

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago

Ah.. I totally forgot that this had already been posted in this community:

Out of the loop here. What are the recent scandals with Discord?

This is probably not what you’re looking for, but it reminded me of the fan-made Polybius scenario for Kult.

But even if its not what you need, it might be useful as inspiration:

Oh, and if you’re not familiar with the urban legend, give it a search on YouTube.
