My Daughter's Fantasy Map

Image
So in addition to all the stuff  going on in my home game, my tween daughter decided she wanted to take a turn running a fantasy game session of her own. We worked on the session together with my helping stat out NPC's, etc. Since I also have been developing my cartography skills, I offered to draw up a map. She sketched out a rough draft, and I put it to paper.   Not too fancy, just showing where various landmarks are in relation to one another.  I'm looking forward to Spell Familiar's game; I'll be assisting her insofar as I'll be on hand to help with running combat and clarifying rules.  Otherwise, it'll be her show.  Four members of the gaming group signed up to play, which just shows how good a group I have. I'm gaming twice over the holidays: my home game on Friday, and this game on Saturday.  After action reports to follow!

An early map

I'm continuing to refine my fantasy cartography skills, this time bringing together some different elements: mountains, forests, a lake, and a couple of cities.  There's even a strange stone formation west of the mountains that bears some exploring.

Forests

More experimentation for my fantasy cartography skills, this time a forest.

Experimenting with mountains

I've been starting on learning to hand draw fantasy cartography. I'm starting with mountains and hills.  It's just a start, but I like it.
