I was thinking doodling some on index cards. Is that cool?
Sure, index cards should be fair game.
When I think about underground cave systems, it's hard not to think about FR's underdark. I (somewhat) remember an illustration about adventurers reaching one end of the Darklake... with no other shore on sight.
Now that I look at it again... it may not be 100% clear that the blob in the center is a chute going down. A hole in the ground.
Something more to practice and refine, I guess.
Can't help but think that the stalagmites on the bottom left doodle resemble the tentacles from Maniac Mansion.
I think it’s just because Lemmy (and the fediverse) doesn’t yet have a critical mass.
Before creating !scifi@ttrpg.network I was thinking about creating a community for Traveller alone. But I decided to poll several other places beforehand. Not a lot of people showed interest. That’s why I decided to create a more general community.
I share your need for activity. I really do. I just don’t have much to offer. At least at the moment. I’ve been dabbling with mapmaking lately, but I’m not prolific enough. I have plans, oh yes, quite a few ideas brewing and bubbling, but nothing to show. Yet.
It’s very common, expected really, to have many more consumers than producers in any social network. But I’m still here. And I’d bet a few more are also around. Lurking? (I love that word when used so casually)
We’re listening.
Apparently my issue was a false positive. It seems Lemmy doesn't like large images (even if small in size) but the message saying "too many pixels" was off-screen at that time.
I resized the image and reuploaded. Everything seems fine now.
Congrats! I wasn't brave enough to do it, so I ended up creating a broader community for Sci-Fi RPGs - !scifi@ttrpg.network
I settled on Campaign Cartographer 3+.
It has a steep learning curve, but seems to be the most powerful tool by far.
I’d go for ███ ████ or ██-█.
Maybe…? I haven’t explored that particular cave system myself. I acquired the map off a band of adventurers. 😉
It’s supposed to be a stove hood. But yea, now I realize it’s similar to the way pits are often drawn.
The easiest Traveller version is definitely the one from Mongoose.
Also, you should check out Seth Skorkowsky’s overview videos:

From your last sentence, perhaps a few of Seth Skorkowsky’s videos fit the bill:

But then I have to ask: What do you think is a better player? How does your table work? What kind of games does your group prefer? What do you all appreciate the most from the game?
Some groups are delighted when everyone has a great backstory, while others yawn at it. Some groups enjoy voice acting while some of us don’t bother as long as you stay in character when needed. Some like full immersion and others mostly like to hang around with friends. Some like the sandbox while others wish for a carefully thought out plot. Some like hack n’ slash and others prefer political intrigue and social interactions.
How do you describe a fun, a great session?
Thanks! I'm pretty sure I'll have UV clearance.
Yup, like @FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works said, to get a sense of the scale.
