Oh, and also… thanks for posting a map of your own. It was getting a bit lonely in here. 😉

Thanks!

And yes. When I manage to collect enough dungeon or cave maps, I might try to arrange /place them so that they (sort of) connect into a larger complex.

Lol. Maybe? Or perhaps it’s an abandoned throne room?

Seriously though, micro-maps can be very forgiving but I still didn’t want to risk ruining it by adding more decorations. Even if it is quite empty as it stands.

 

My first satisfactory try at isometric.

Had to draw guides with a pencil first, and erase them when I was done.

It’s inspired after a rural town I knew many decades ago. After drawing it I searched for it in Google Maps and confirmed that my memory isn’t all that good. 😅

Old Ford (ttrpg.network)
 

I drew this without thinking much. But now that I see it, I think this is close to what I pictured in my mind when I first read The Hobbit.

Or at least the layout somewhat ressembles the Old Ford and the beginning of the Old Forest Road. The mountains to the left would be the edges of the Misty Mountains.

Or maybe I just drew a ridge, a river, and a forest? Who knows!

It’s supposed to be a stove hood. But yea, now I realize it’s similar to the way pits are often drawn.

Heh. It was a thinner scrap of paper than most of the other maps I’ve posted.

.. and lots of places for an ambush, right? ;)

Yeah, I created it mostly out of nostalgia...

There used to be a Google+ community with the same purpose. When G+ closed, many groups flocked to all sorts of platforms (all walled gardens, mind you), but many communities also died in the process.

I can't seem to edit the post.. but in the meantime, here's the link: https://bit.ly/kultdrops

The easiest Traveller version is definitely the one from Mongoose.

Also, you should check out Seth Skorkowsky’s overview videos:

It's already made in JS (but without a canvas).

So, OP: I guess it's already Free and it's already Open Source. Just save the HTML page somewhere.

From your last sentence, perhaps a few of Seth Skorkowsky’s videos fit the bill:

But then I have to ask: What do you think is a better player? How does your table work? What kind of games does your group prefer? What do you all appreciate the most from the game?

Some groups are delighted when everyone has a great backstory, while others yawn at it. Some groups enjoy voice acting while some of us don’t bother as long as you stay in character when needed. Some like full immersion and others mostly like to hang around with friends. Some like the sandbox while others wish for a carefully thought out plot. Some like hack n’ slash and others prefer political intrigue and social interactions.

How do you describe a fun, a great session?
