Rather than provide all fantasy maps, I thought I'd spend some time working on various techniques to represent interior deck plans of star ships for the FrontierSpace role playing game. I finally settled on this technique. I'm not sure if I like the color or B&W version better for the book's interior. They both have their appeal. I like this representation because it leaves a lot to the imagination rather than trying to show where every button and every chair or bed resides. It's evocative and unrestrictive, leaving a lot to the descriptive capacity of the GM.»Read more

I just wanted to give everyone an update about where we're at with various projects. Some weeks we accomplish quite a bit, while others our projects stall a bit while we deal with real life situations (the only down-side to being a small company). For that reason, rather than weekly, we're going to try to give updates like this on or around the 15th and 30th of every month. This way you'll see what we're up to (in an almost-stalker fashion, really) when we seem like we're not releasing stuff. Since this is the first of this attempt at a committed progress blog, we'll start with an overview of the pans we currently have in the fire. Sorry for the long blog, subsequent ones will be lighter reads.»Read more

Everyone knows the enchanter can create some amazing works of magic. But not everything turns out the way its creator wants. And sometimes, people want some really dumb things, at least by other people’s standards.

Adventurers are happy when they find a powerful sword, a shield that makes them legends, or a staff that shakes the foundation of the world. But not all magic items are so magnificent. Since permanent enchantments can outlast the purposes of their creators, it’s reasonable to assume the fantasy world is riddled with unusual magic items of a much less impressive nature.»Read more

I went old school on this installment of freemapfriday... a blue map like you'd find in the inside cover of some 1980's TSR module. I loved those maps, and so I tried to emulate their style. Feedback welcome.

A frontier town. With no farmland around it. Near mountains. How do they eat?! What's the story here?

Originally shared last week on G+ and I'm putting it here for the archives. Free for private or commercial use. Attribution welcome but not necessary. Please give me feedback if you use it in a session!

Also, here's a B&W version. I might like it better, not sure...
