Khezvaros Cartogrphy Part 13
Last time around, I painted in the different biomes on my map. That’s what the world looks like according to the weather patterns and random seeds and whatever else Azgaar’s Fantasy Map Generator uses to generate landforms. So the draft we’re currently working on is kind of what the planet would look like without any humans to…

Tropes
I decided that having a different set of tropes for each game was too confusing, so I went with five core tropes that kind of work like attributes but in a way that’s not so much about quantifying specific attribute-like qualities.

The Road to QAGS 3E, Part 12
I’ve spent 11 articles working through the first 5 years of Hex Games. Let’s see if I can condense the next 20 or so into a single article. Once Print on Demand became available and we got over our hang-ups about PDF, we were able to go back more or less to our original plan…
