Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 11:37PM It's been a busy week and a half, or so, between GenCon, preparing for GenCon, work, home and car disasters and work travel. On the plus side, GenCon went well and I think it will be an interesting year, both personally and in the gaming industry. We'll see how things go.
Monday, July 4, 2011 at 12:43PM More cartography for Dungeonaday.com, this week is Level 19 (membership required).

Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 9:05PM This is one of those weeks where it seems EVERYTHING is releasing at the same time. So, on with the updates.
I'm a guest cartographer again over at dungeonaday.com, this time for Level 18. You have to be a subscriber to see it, but you can get the idea from this earlier post.

Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 12:04AM Action scenes in roleplaying games are major highlights in the game. In Star Wars, more often than not, they should be THE highlight of the session, or the campaign. Creating good cinematic sequences is key.
Remember that action doesn't always mean combat. There doesn't even need to be a direct physical threat, if there is enough drama in the scene. The results of failure can manifest itself in other ways - the characters didn't get there in time to prevent x from happening, for instance.
Creating a good action sequence can be difficult.

Saturday, May 7, 2011 at 6:26PM I see from my site stats that a few eager GenCon 2011 attendees/players found my old post on CHAOS D&D, some through a google search. Thanks for the interest! I've gone back and edited the plot info out of the entry, but reading it may still give a way some spoilers on how the game itself is played. Though that in and of itself is not a secret (CHAOS has been running for years at ShaunCon and KC Game Fair), it's still more fun for some people to experience it first hand.
As to the plot info earlier readers or players may have read/played, CHAOS plots have a way of developing over time (and even in game), so I'm sure it won't be exactly the same this time around.
For those who aren't following all of that, the Roleplayers Guild of Kansas City, Ltd. is running two rounds of its long running Chaotically Hysterical Association of Systems (CHAOS) event at GenCon 2011.

Wizards posted a preview of the upcoming Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentier Vale based on last month's Rule of Three poll. You can see the preview (along with others) here, and download the stats for the Wandering Tower, winner of the poll (but not one of my contributions).
This product is due to be released in June 2011.

Normally, I would add an excerpt or example of my most recent cartography work to my online portfolio when completed. However, as my most recent example was for the subscriber based DungeonADay.com (and therefore unavialable in the near term for this use), I went ahead and created a new map using the same techniques I used in the DaD Fane of the Sea God maps. While those maps adhered to the DaD style, I used different details for this map. The overall effect is similar.
I am always looking for new cartography freelance projects. Please contact me if you have a project that needs need a map (or a writer). You can see my portfolio here.
