S. John Ross<p>Yeah, this is all I'm up to again today. 😅 I've got 10 finished, so that's 13 left to doodle on ...</p><p>After spending so long writing about these neighborhoods in abstract, it's both strange and energizing to lock down which things the book will touch explicitly.</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Hammondal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hammondal</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a></p>
S. John Ross<p>I haven't used the patterns created by crisping one of my burritoids* in a pan to texture a fantasy map yet, but I clearly need to at some point.</p><p>Each of the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Hammondal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hammondal</span></a> neighborhood maps will have slightly different texturing, so I'll soon have the opportunity.</p><p>_____<br>* My recipe is not what you'd call authentic. 😅</p>
S. John Ross<p>Just playing with subtle changes to how I tone and texture the water.</p><p>(Plates like this one are the most that fit on a single page, so there will be three such plates in Hammondal's book, plus up to 23 neighborhood maps, zoomed and text-encrusted, plus a few others)</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/FantasyMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FantasyMaps</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Hammondal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hammondal</span></a></p>
S. John Ross<p>Many fantasy cities have been presented as campaign worlds, but they're usually _big deal_ cities, fantasy equivalents of New York, Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong, London, Cairo.</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Hammondal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hammondal</span></a> is a campaign world that's the fantasy equivalent of Livonia, Michigan or Parma, Ohio. Cities for which most people never spare a single thought.</p><p>And if that strikes you as intriguing, or even a little audacious ... I agree. 😆</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a></p>
