It feels like I have settled into the 10×10 grid geomorph style for the majority of my #dungeon23 entries. With that being the case, I have also settled into using a standard six inch by six inch index card.
It makes for a straightforward template/layout to set the map into the center of the card using the third and eighth block of each side as the entrance/exit, although I have also realized that not every entrance or exit needs to access the overall 10×10 grid space. However, I also recognize they should be drawn out all the same.
The ongoing theme of these dungeon rooms/maps touches on possible scenarios and environments that may be used in “The Bellweather Chronicles,” which has been engaging in how it has been applied to the world-building processes behind the lands being traveled by the story’s heroes.
As much as I have been using my daily creations as distractions, they also serve as incentives and inspiration. This is pushing me to improve the maps with more details and better perspectives, justifying the addition of more tools of the cartographer in me… that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. However, I still need to return and get the “Light Cool Gray” version of the pens I purchased today.
