- So I go over how I create a region hex map using the Shadowdark core rulebook.
-
The person I learned about geographical importance in mapping is WASD20

Oh, yeah, I used to watch a lot of WASD20 in the past, too ^^
I find my first thoughts to be the most creative so I like to jot down those in the moment connections that come to mind when generating a map, like your borrow mound and Oracle, to create a rumors & legends lists. And like you said, you don't have to figure out if they are true or not now.
My brain goes so deep into possible connections and lore etc, that I have to actively refrain from spiraling into a creative rabbit hole! lol. It’s why I tend to like procedural storytelling- as the creation of a hex/room/prompt- springs to mind the next thing. But if I just “go with it” without sone sort of guideline or template- I could wax poetic about an Oracle’s divining method , rather than actually answering a question. lol. Love the hobby, but this guy can wind up something fierce. Lol
@ 34 mins, "Secret circle of wizards that meet at the cliffs on the coast". Aka wizards of the coast?
How do you determine what type of monsters in the monster nest?
Nice catch. I hadn’t actually made that connection when I first rolled up that hex. As for the monster nest, I won’t know until I go there. Somethings I roll up fully and other things I leave up to the characters discovery.
@@AmazingAaxor Okay, got it. Thanks for doing the video.
You’re throwing out so much great content! Love it!!
Thanks! Yea I’m in a groove lately.
@@AmazingAaxor watching you create this was wonderful, thank you. You should check out Sandbox Generator from Atelier Clandestin, too. It uses a similar building mechanic that I think you’ll like.
Oh I have that. It’s great.
Dang I'm late the
Me too! 😂
