Wanting to bring more (relevant) factions to the forefront of my game I decided to map out relations between

  • Solid bold lines are between the Crew and those they have direct relations to. Blue for positive, red for negative. (Edit: Clarification) The double line to Circle of flame shows the Crew have +2 relations to them, single line for +1 relations.
  • Solid thin lines are between the Crew's relations and those they have relations to. Can be to another of the Crew's relations (such as between Circle of Flame and The Hive) or to a more distant faction (two steps separation).
  • Dashed lines are relations between factions two steps away from the Crew. Not all relations of these factions two steps separated from the crew are included, only those between factions already on the board.

Kinda enjoyed the result, a bit pleasing to the eye. May fully map out the relations of the factions two steps separated (to factions three steps separated from the crew).

Looks great! What did you use to build this? I would love to reproduce something like this for my group.

https://app.diagrams.net/ I use this for all my mapping needs. From dungeons to quests and relations.

For this I used

  • Line width 5 for direct relations
  • Line width 3 for direct relation to their relation
  • Dashed line width 2 between factions twice separated from the crew and put these lines behind everything else

And arranged factions is a somewhat pleasing manner.
