B is for Barracks


My B map is a military or guard barracks complex. The topmost building is the mess hall. Just below that to the right is the unit armorer. The smaller square buildings are all the bunkhouses and the c-shaped building in the lower left is the stable. Drawing this map made me realize that drawing human statues from above is really challenging. Also, it is really difficult to make a regimented military compound look interesting.

I got some questions about permissions for using my maps. I am totally fine with people downloading and printing the files for their own games or personal use. If you wish to display the map online on your own site, I ask that you please credit Geoff, or my handle, Sporkchop and link back to ROFLInitiative.com. If you want to use a map for anything considered commercial (e.g. in a publication for sale) let me know. I am willing to negotiate.

A is for Altar of Arlee




And it begins! My first map in the 2013 April A to Z Mapstravaganza is of an altar dedicated to a spirit of writing and literacy, Arlee! Special thank you to the April A to Z Founder, Arlee Bird! This altar can also serve as any sort of outdoor shrine you can imagine.

My theme for this month is Mapstravaganza! I will be hand-drawing maps for use in fantasy tabletop games and posting them here. Most will feature general locations that can be utilized in a broad array of settings and scenarios.
