Dyson’s Dodecahedron is hosting a cartography contest where you take one of his maps and finish it with your own twist.
The deadline is fast approaching: “23:59 Eastern Standard Time of Sunday, February 23rd, 2014.”
I’m not the best at maps, but I may see what I can devise. It has the same deadline for the OSR Superstar Contest. If I focus, I know I can meet both deadlines.
Dyson has several interesting tables, and of course lots of maps. He even has a few short tutorials that explain how he does his style of maps. I tried a little doodling on graph paper to do it. I can see with practice it can be done fairly easily, but it requires scanning and then processing the image in Gimp or other graphics software. I get so sidetracked looking at all the goodies all the different RPG sites have to offer that I take lots of notes and download/use Print Friendly to add to my ideas for my own campaigns.
I just emailed my submission. I don’t expect to win, I did it for the EXPERIENCE. Get it? 😀
