The bridge [city]
(ttrpg.network)
Hadn’t heard of this one.
I don't think you meant something like this, but I couldn't not do it 🙃:

Uh-oh... L? really?

I hope this is on-topic.
We have this community (!micro_maps@ttrpg.network) dedicated to tiny hand drawn maps. I decided to create a map using a nethack-inspired style.

Talk about inspiration.
In case you didn't know or didn't catch the reference, this is a homage to Nethack.

No cobblestones [city]
(ttrpg.network)
Not only are my cobblestones not looking great, but I've also been drawing houses that extend beyond the borders of the paper. Time to fix that.
This is looking better IMO, and I'll be able to tile them and make a big city. Win-win.

Town entrance
(ttrpg.network)
Those streets aren't working. Maybe I shouldn't be trying to draw cobblestones at all?
Any of you have ideas?

Street corner [city]
(ttrpg.network)
What if I really want to use a banana for determining the scale? (cmon, let's be real, you came here to talk about the drawing of a banana)
In last week's drawing, I intentionally left the tip of the coloring pencil, to achieve that. But now I decided to add a couple of notches to the drawing: on the bottom, two notches are set 1" apart, and the rectangular thing at the top is 1cm wide. That should do it, right?
About the micro-map itself... I'm not convinced about the cobblestones. At least these take a lot less time to draw than previous attempts. Still experimenting.
Thanks! That's the first time I tried something like that.
Of course, I saw it elsewhere and then tried to replicate it.
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 ██-█.
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.

I sort of became lost with Stellagama’s offerings after the Cepheus family. 😅
Anyway, Quantum does ring a bell, but Quantum Dark didn’t.
Edit: turns out I do own the base Quantum PDF. That’s why it rung a bell, I guess.
