Welcome to the Death Cookie! You might notice that there’s not much content here. That’s because I’ve just updated the software. Also, I haven’t posted anything new for almost a year. All the articles from the old site are here, but they’re not published because I need to tweak them a bit before they go…
I’ve finally finished the map (for now. I’ll probably change more and add stuff later). I’ve got it uploaded to World Anvil, where you can zoom in and out and move around to get a better view than the smaller maps I’ve been posting. You can also click the layer button (the stack of papers…
I’m getting very close to finishing the City of 10,000 Daggers map. Since the last post, I’ve added some green and trees, changed the contour lines into terrain effects with some creative beveling, cleaned up the brush-painted buildings, and added effects to the named buildings. I’m tempted to add effects to the noble villas in…
I’ve gotten bad at reading actual books (regardless of format), so in 2018 I re-started an old livejournal tradition of keeping a running list of the books that I’d read that year. My thinking was that knowing the actual number of books I’d read might convince me to read a real book instead of clicking…
Here’s the new map, now with buildings, docks, a moat around Castle Vargo, and a few other additions and modifications. The next step will be to clean up the brushed-in buildings a bit and probably rework or modify a few sections here and there. Then I’ll start putting in some green space and other visual…
Been working on a map for the City of 10,000 Daggers. So far I’ve got the important buildings, walls, and roads. There are a few places I haven’t finished them either because I’m still deciding what to do with that part of the map (behind the Necropolis) or because I need to add some buildings…
Sorry that I’ve sucked about posting lately. It’s been what we’ll call a “rebuilding” few months. I do have some news, but first the most important action item: Josh and Leighton have begun the Kickstarter for the Dungeon Crawl Classics edition of Leopard Women of Venus! The new version will feature art by Josh and…
Just thought I’d post a pic of the progress on the Shymeria map. I had a false start that lost some time, but I think it’s starting to shape up nicely. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email
When I watched the new She-Ra series, I realized that “Aetheria” was basically the same as “Etheria,” Eternia’s sister planet. A Google also turned up a video game that appears to be current that uses “Aetheria” with the “Ae” spelling. So I decided to change the name, which was a terrible thing because I agonize…
I’m trying to work out how to make the rules for powers to work in Guardians of Shymeria. I’ve had several false starts so far. Every time I actually start writing the rules, I find myself lost once again in the Land of Crunch. I don’t want the rules to come from the Land of…
