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.

Oh I'm really looking forward to this! I'll be back to see more of your maps. Wishing you all the best throughout April and hope it goes well for you!

Thanks to everyone for stopping by! I got to a few of your blogs over lunch, but hope to stop by more after work!
ReplyDeleteFascinating theme. I love the map. Great to meet you! Happy A!
ReplyDeleteI miss gaming... so I'm here for the vicariousness.
ReplyDeleteWelcome! I try to be good about feeding vicarious habits.
DeleteThat's a great map! Your details are awesome. I'm thinking I'm gonna end up with a lot of places to explore in my next homebrewed campaign!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather! Hopefully I can maintain a comparable level of detail throughout the month. These things tend to start with a bang but get strung out and slapdash as the authors do the same.
Deletevery clever and original topic, Geoff. Looking forward to more of your posts!

Love your theme and the first one is perfect.
ReplyDeleteMy son loves maps. I will show him your posts. Can't wait. Hi from the A-Z.
ReplyDeleteI love your theme! I haven't played in years but D&D was a big part of my childhood. Shameless plug: I invite you to stop by my blog on P Day. I expect you'll approve.
ReplyDeleteNice! Looking forward to seeing your other entries this year (I'm a sucker for a good fantasy map!)
